Just Like Mom

I was in my room getting changed for our bike ride...when I came out...Abby was wearing this! She looks freakin' adorable!!! I think I must be in my bandana WAY TOO MUCH!!! Hahaha She looks a whole lot cuter then I do!!!

Since she has learned to ride her bike w/out training wheels, bike rides are so fun! She sticks her little helmet on and away we go! And she gets to do her own work of riding a bike, instead of ME pulling both HER and WALKER!!!

I am really going to be sad when she starts going to school full time...even though it's not all day kindergarten, it will be every day, instead of every OTHER day...and that will make a big difference for me. She is so fun and she just cracks me up!! I just LOVE her!!!!

On a "poopy" note...some days I wish I could just erase so many things. Things I said, things I did or didn't do...most nights I vow to change and then act the same exact way the next day. Sometimes I get in these "moods" and for the life of me, CANNOT pull myself out of them. Yet I know it's all about ME and it's all about CHOICE. My decision whether or not I want to have fun, laugh, smile...or be crabby, angry and UNpatient. My decision to make my child happy and play "I Spy" while driving in the car...or say NO and watch her be sad in the back seat. My decision whether or not to turn up the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL music and sing along with the kids...My decision whether or not to kiss my husband as soon as he gets home and tell him I love him...My decision whether or not to take some time and sit down and color with the kids....My decision whether or not to just BE HAPPY! Why do I so many times, choose the latter? What in me would choose to be moody, angry and upset when I have the ability to CHANGE myself and be happy, laugh and have fun? *sigh* these are the things I am pondering tonight....

You both look lovely in your bandanas and you are looking mighty cut with your P90X, I can see your sexy arms.

I make "terrible" decisions all the time, they are like the little ones you mentioned, and I know I am in charge of how I will act when those decisions come. Hang in there, you are not as bad as you think. Plus you have some excellent company!

i still remember when brendon learned to ride. ahhhh the days!
i pull the kids around the back yard doing laps every now & then, and i appreciate when kiersten gets her fat butt out of it! i can't believe how pulling 50 lbs. feels. AND, AND, AND..... i'm waiting (yes seriously) waiting to see a real pic of your real abs! :) :) :)

The bandana's are darling on the two of you. We will always have those decisions that we made, and ponder about after we made them. Do not eat yourself up pondering I have realized. AS far as the little one goes to school. I feel your pain this year my youngest started Kind. at Franklin. Next year I will offically have all my kids in school all day. IT STINKS AND I HATE IT.

"My" Abby is truly adorable! I can see why you are going to miss her when she goes to school. I miss her when I drop her off at pre-school!

Abby is such a cutie!!

I totally understand about the choices we make with our families. Lately, I've been struggling with having enough patience with the kids and especially Ben.
