He’s an amazing little man already

Stole this post from my FB because I wanted to always remember both the cute photo of these two, and the comments between me and Aaron 2 years later about an adorable moment she witnessed at a recent Kings game. My hope is that even if they don't end up as husband and wife as they now truly believe they will, that they just go through life side by side as friends, knowing that the other is always there for them if they need them!

Lunch time hugs are the best hugs ever

I take my lunch break around 12:30 on my early day shifts and if I leave my office and head home or to run an errand then that means I am inevitably going right by the kindy playground while Jordie is on his lunch break. Any chance I get to sneak in a hug from my kids during the day I take. I enjoy seeing their faces and getting even just an extra minute of alone time with them.

Today as I walked through the gate I hear a little voice yell "Kim" and come running. It was little Ella Lawry and she ran right over and gave me a big hug. Then Jordie spotted me and came running for the best hug and exclaimed "Moooommmm....I just love seeing you!" I had a little chat with him about his day and how it was going and then just as I was about to leave I see my Maddie girl come running over for a hug too. Just put such a smile on my face to get me through the rest of the day!

Even though I didn't snap a picture on the playground today I did snap this one of me and my Jordie boy last night while we snuggled on the couch and read some bedtime stories.

Pure joy and laughter caught on video

Here in PR there is a very kind man that decorates his truck with Christmas lights and drives around town for as many people that can see him as possible. Because we live on a busy street we've never seen it drive by our townhouses but have heard its music playing nearby. We were at our friends house for a party on the 23rd and shortly before we left Jim said the magic words that had all of us scrambling to get our kids out the door "here comes the Christmas truck!" 

James was so excited and I love this video so much so had to share it on here for all to see.

And this hilarious video was taken at about 9:45pm on the way home from the party! This kid is a frigging riot and makes us laugh every single day!

It only took him a week....

This is the conversation I heard the boys having while I was in the shower on Wednesday morning.

Jordan: "But why?"
James: "I'm 6 now, so because I said so"....a few minutes later "I'm a boss now you know"

I could have corrected him but decided not to....but I perhaps should have

Later in the day while talking with Jordie I said to him "Jordan Douglas, who is the boss here?"
He looked me right in the face and asked me ever so sweetly "me and you?" I tried to be stern and tell him that no it was just me, but I will admit I definitely cracked a smile.

These two make me laugh every single day and I am so happy and proud to have them!

One week before, on James's birthday, Jordan wanted to get in on the Harris photo action too!
