Funny things the kiddos say
Bryson (in November) just came to tell us the toilet was "plogged" Because if you can't decide between two words, just use them both at once.
Bryson again in November kept running around the house yelling "I'm Little Red Robin Hood!"

Kara says-Happiness is....listening to your baby's sweet happy babbling and getting excited snuggles from him when you come home!!

I can't decide if I should be proud or disappointed that when the kids fight they choose to call each other "bummers"....Disappointed they are fighting, but proud that it isn't something worse...? (OK lets be honest that is just a funny word choice for name calling.)

From July-Bryson kept asking why he had to help clean and I told him it was because he lived in our house...he responded with " No I don't I'm just visiting." So I asked where he really lived, and of course, he said "Grandma's house."

We have had a great year. The kids have grown and we love them so much! We hope 2016 brings lots of happiness and growth! xoxo
