I try my best to enjoy all of the little moments of raising my kids, but it makes me sad when I realize how much I'll forget. I take more pictures and videos than I probably need to, but I want to really remember some of the little details of everyday life. A few months ago I started writing down funny things the kids say or do, or the little quirky things, and I've already got over three pages. It's been funny recording them, and hopefully I can keep it up.

 - Tyler made up a new verse for The Wheels on the Bus when the boys were babies. After the baby on the bus cries and the mommy says shhh,  “The Daddy on the bus says ‘Stop that racket!” While driving Isaac to preschool the other day we were singing the song. When he got to the last verse he sang “The Daddy on the bus says ‘Stop that rabbit!’”

- During bathtime I put Clara’s hair into a tall spike on top of her head. Isaac said, “Clara’s a temple!”

-  When the boys were supposed to be going to bed I could hear Hunter screaming and crying. I went into their room and Isaac was sitting on top of Hunter. He said, “Mommy, Hunter needs to calm down!”

-       When helping the boys brush their teeth, Hunter asks us to brush his teeth in very creative ways. Elmo dinosaur, dinosaur train, Hunter’s Buzz, Buzz and Woody fly, and we have to guess how he wants us to do it.

- For about a month, at the end of each family prayer Hunter would ask that Daddy not be sad. I guess he was grumpy or sad one day and it stuck?

- My kids are obsessed with birthdays. Any time there is a birthday in the family, for months afterward the boys sing Happy Birthday, and anything that resembles a birthday candle gets "blown out".
