Before they become teenagers let's remember...

Laying eyes on baby brother for the first time, looking for his tiny hands

Snippets of conversations...

Eliza 7yrs (overheard while playing school in the basement) "Tessa stop telling me what to do, it's really bothering me. Now girls I'm going to tell you when the bell rings & tell you what to do"

Summer 5 yrs "I'm really sorry Mom" for what? "for not telling you about something I did"

Tessa 5 yrs Singing I Am a Child of God..."i am a child of god and so my knees are grey"

Amelia 3 yrs When chatting about any of her memories she begins with "when I was young"

Baby Thomas 6 weeks "you should eat more treats mom, you deserve it" I swear those were his exact words.

hey dad...

am i the only child?



choo gotta be kidding! all 4 are here to stay? crazy.

Don't you wish...

that you had a neighbor like Alma? She took over on the girls first day of Kindergarten since I decided to have a baby that day. And it helps that she is a profesh photographer b/c she captured the moments for me!

I'm happy that Summer chose the polka dot socks for the 1st day...so stylin' and we'd like to adopt the 4th littlest girl on the left!

p.s. any picture that shows up on my blog that looks too good to be taken by me is to be credited to Alma (Tait Photography) b/c she also took the banner picture 'Sugar & Spice'

Amelia Bedilia is officially a 'big girl'

Three years old! Everyday she asks "i still a big girl mom?"
