Life without homework

It is official, Keith has his diploma.  He put it right in the frame our friend gave him and hung it up.  It is still so exciting for us!

Life without homework is wonderful!  One night last week we all played in Caitlyn's room all evening.  It was so much fun.  The kids love when we come play in their rooms with them.  I need to do it more often. 

I snapped pictures of the kids all night.  Yesterday Caitlyn said, "I'm so glad I'm in my pajamas, so maybe you won't take pictures."  I love taking pictures of the kids.

Caitlyn loves putting on lip gloss and she also loves posing for the camera!

My goal in life is to capture Jonah's real smile.  He has the best smile and is such a handsome boy, but as soon as I pull out the camera he flashes his fake smile.

I love the real expressions instead of the forced once.

Wyatt is usually a good sport about letting me take his picture, but lately his response to almost everything is, "I can't" or "I said no."

All the kids love when Keith chases them and tickles them. 

Jonah has been sleeping in Caitlyn's room a lot lately.  He is so scared at night.  He won't admit he is scared because that would hurt his tough guy image, but he begs us to check on him over and over and wants all the lights left on.  They have been doing well at going to sleep quickly so we have let them sleep together. They had fun playing on the bunk bed before bed.

Caitlyn is our dramatic girl.  I think she gets hurt about twenty times a day.  I think she hurt her toe here.

Hallee liked Caitlyn's chair.  I think she will love it when she can sit up.

I had to take a picture of the kids listening during scripture reading, usually Wyatt is running around distracting them and Jonah is turned upside down or focusing on something else.  Keith does a great job of explaining things to them and they get really interested when he explains the different stories that we are reading about.

Wyatt's new thing is to open his mouth like this when he wants something.  He copied this one from Jonah.  He will say, "can I have a treat?" and then open his mouth while smiling.  It is pretty cute. 

I love my sleeping baby!
