Stopping Time!

Please someone tell me how to stop time. Life has become super busy between school, homework, baby sitting etc. I have had no time for social media at all and when I do it is a really quick mish mash of stuff. However, my kids are important and I would rather spend most of my time with them instead of the computer or latest phone app. I do however love how many photo's I get from teachers and room moms. Here are some cute photo's from last year and this year!

Riley's teacher is fresh from college. I love her enthusiasm and love for these kids. Riley is really thriving and loving school this year. This was her Holiday card she sent to everyone in the mail.
 This was taken on their first snow day at school!
 Mrs. Jones makes sure I get pictures of Lorelei and I am very grateful. Natalie, makes it hard for me to volunteer my time. 
 This was at the stock show. Lorelei loves animals and sometimes I wish we did not have an HOA. I would totally put her in 4H.
 Recently aunt Alicia asked if the girls liked dress up. When the question was presented my girls really had no interest. Then a few days after Natalie became a dress up queen. She has worn her bumblebee costume many days in a row and switches between princess dresses. Sometimes she goes to bed in her costumes.
 I started baby sitting the cutest little girls on the planet 3 times a week. They are both very happy, kind, and easy to watch. Their mom requested I take photo's as much as possible. Here are a couple of cute ones I snapped.
 On Fridays I baby sit two little boys for a friend in exchange for free dance lessons!!!!!! I really wanted to have both girls do it, but Natalies class time is during Lorelei's pick up from Kindergarten, but next year she is for sure joining! I can't wait to see Lollies first recital.
 Natalie has a secret even I don't know about.
 See, now we play dress up.
 60 degree park day? YES PLEASE!!!!
 Valentines was lots of fun for the kids. Riley got to make his box at home and Lorelei got to do hers at school!
I asked Riley who he likes recently and he responded "Ava, because I never see her that much". He gave me a good laugh.  
The boy sitting across from Lorelei is Colton. He has the biggest crush on her. His grandma, the lady in the picture keeps me informed on the cute things he says. Sadly for him her heart is currently all over the board. She talks about a different boy each month. I have a feeling she is the flirty type.
 Next is two Birthday party's to tackle and Riley's Baptism!!!!!!

Christmas!

Thanksgiving!
We had a very fun thanksgiving and even made a mock version of Grams famous pop and juice!




 Christmas!
This year the kids really were spoiled. They loved all of their presents from all of you family members! I even found myself coveting some of their goods and think I need a doll for myself. 
We opened Santas gifts before church.
I love kid shovels! Ever since buying them, my shovel time has been cut in half. The kids love this chore and I enjoy giving them the opportunity to serve.
