Last week I was trying to help Jax with homework and make dinner at the same time. Then Lila decided she was hungry and wanted to be fed asap. It was like 5:00 and I was headed for a breakdown. You know when you have just had all you can take and it's the part of the day when you just want to relax and sit down for a minute, but you can't? That's how I was feeling. Next thing I know, sweet Sunny comes running upstairs and says "Don't worry Mom, I can feed Lila for you!"
I wasn't sure if she could do it or not, she's only four after all, but I didn't have any other options so I agreed to let her try. It turned out to be one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. She did a great job. I wish I could have gotten it on video. She sounded like a mini-me. "Open up sweetie, here it comes, Come on Catey, you know you love avocados, here comes the airplane." All the things we say to get kids to eat she was saying. Lila loved it, and I was able to get dinner and homework finished. After watching the precious interaction between my daughters, my night didn't seem quite so bad.
I will say this is just one example of how sweet my kids are with each other. I think I truly have the best kids on earth. They are so easy going and funny. I love to be around them. Sometimes when I'm feeling a bit prideful I think that it must be something I'm doing and I must be the best mother ever, but mostly I know I'm just blessed to have them, and I try to learn from their sweet examples. These are the sweetest kids anyone could ever hope for.
Ryan loves dressing up way too much. He spent way too much time looking in the mirror and quoting lines from Anchor Man. By the time the night was over I really wanted to put some duct tape over his mouth:)
Her first ponytail!!!!!!!
I am freakishly excited about this!
I couldn't get her to hold still for a picture, so I thought I'd put her in the Bumbo so she would be still enough for a good pic of her hair. Well, it kinda of worked...
still working...
Then she decided to make the great escape. 
This is baby stuff!
You can't keep me down!

I had to add this picture. It cracks me up. She's getting pretty good at standing on her own and balancing, but she looks so unsure of herself.
Lila had to ruin it for everyone :)
The only picture I got of all three of them looking at the camera at the same time.
Lila was too busy eating and crawling in the nasty leaves to have her picture taken.
Always a poser.
It is so fun taking pictures of Sunny. She's gotten to where I don't have to tell her what to do. She really looks like a real little model. She does all these poses and then changes them just a bit. Like, she'll tip her head, or look away. It's so cute.
It's officially been a year since she cut her hair. It's finally getting long again.
Sisters.
One smile. That's it. Out of 50 pictures of so.
Eating more leaves.
My big boy. Love the huge scratch on his face. He was playing with his friend jumping into piles of leaves and apparently a stick got him in the face. Oh well, at least it missed his eye :)
He won't admit it, but I think he enjoyed this little photo shoot.
This is how it all ended up. She'd had enough.
