Speaking too soon?

I may or may not have crossed a bridge with this little one.
For some reason I WAS NOT her favorite person.
I kept telling myself it was because she was such a mommas girl,
that she didn't see me enough, blah blah blah.
Truth of the matter is she just didn't like me.
I kept trying,
I kept picking her up, she would cry, I would put her down.
She would cry if I stood too close to her, if I talked too loud near her.
What a brat, right??
Well not so much.
You see, she's just picky....you have to earn her love.
I guess trying day after day and staying positive and hopeful worked.
I've been holding her and loving her and spoiling her the last two days....
with NO tears.
I really hope I'm not speaking too soon cause she has the cutest smile and you would melt if you saw her wink at you.
Keeping my fingers crossed that even though I won't see her for a week or so now that she doesn't come back and
cry!!
(if she does I still have her adorable big brother that loves his Ms. Nicole)

So long ago...



I was sorting the kids school pictures today and was thinking about how fast time goes by.
I barely remember these days 4 years ago, how cute are they!!

Passion for Purple

Lakeview Spartans!
Seems this school year the kids have taken on the spartan spirit.
Every Friday they "have" to wear purple to school for school spirit day.
I always thought purple was sorta a "girl" color, ya know.
Not so much, Jacob wears it proudly and I'm guessing for the next 9 years purple will be the color of choice here at our house!!

Football

How is he old enough to play football??
I wasn't sure how I would feel with Jacob playing football.....
I love watching him play......I thought I would be scared for him, not wanting him to get hurt.
But I don't worry, I want him to HIT someone.
He's so gentle, barely tackling anyone.
Hopefully we have many years of watching him.
I hope he continues to enjoy it.
I hope he tries out next year.
And I really hope he takes somebody out in his last game this Saturday!
