rambles

I don't often ramble on my blog... but tonight I thought, what the heck. I like this picture of Carly... she loves to climb up on a barstool and quietly entertain herself. She'll sit up here until I finally decide that it's really not safe, and I should really be a more attentive mother. She always gives me a surprised look, like 'oh, I'm not supposed to be up here?'

I really can't get a serious non-cheesy smile from Luke. If I'm trying to take a picture of anything other than him, he jumps in front with one of these faces. Of course Abigail follows in her brothers footsteps.
People ask me all the time if I have a hard time keeping track of Luke's glasses... They are ALWAYS on his face. He wouldn't take them off if his life depended on it. He used to try to shower with them on, but I finally talked him out of it. Now that he has the power to see, he can't stand to be without them. A while ago he told me, " I want my sisters to have glasses so they can see better too." He's a good brother to Ab and Car.

I'm sure like all of you, we are getting bored of our indoor activities. I can't wait for it to warm up just a bit so we can be outside. These three have really been into books lately. Abby does this bookmobile thing, where she'll pull the basket of books into different areas of the house and say it's reading time. Of course Dallin and Carly just go along with what she says, and they follow her around the house. Abby kinda thinks she's the boss. She'll ask me a question, then she'll quickly say, "say yes" or "say no"

I hear little clicking sounds throughout the day.... Luke loves taking pictures. I usually let him with my camera, but I borrowed Eli's camera, and he really wanted to use that one. So I let him take a picture of me. I thought this picture was funny because I was with my Grandma the other day and she stared at my face for a while, then said, "I didn't know you had freckles, are they new?" I laughed... I've had freckles since the age of three.

I just liked this one of my girl, it was quickly taken in between her pulling funny faces.
