Ryker

What can I say about my little man who seems like triplets. He is so fast at scattering laundry, pounding on pots and pans, pouring sand on my kitchen floor, and generally terrorizing his brother and sister that I can hardly catch my breath. He loves to play ball.... any kind of ball, any time, and anywhere. I have never seen a kid quite this young who really loves to play sports. Ryker is my eater too. He can out eat anyone in the house except me. When he finally starts to wind down he likes to put his hand on my cheek as he falls to sleep, and that is quite possibly one of the sweetest rewards of motherhood. He is the thunderstorm and rainbow all mixed into one.

Carter

Well, Carter is funny because half the time he is not even Carter; he is too busy trying to be Scooby Doo, Leo, Diego, Mr. Incredible, Woody, or Aladdin to spend any time just being the wonderful boy that he is. He has discovered how much fun it is to be a big helper, and is constantly in competition with Brooklyn to see who can help faster, better, or bigger. He loves to do puzzles and is amazingly fast at them. He also is learning how to defend himself from our other little monster and is trying to stand up for himself without landing his rear end in time out. His kisses are some of the best I have ever had... so I'm afraid he's going to be a heart breaker some day, but for now, he's such a wonderful ray of sunshine!

Each one of our kids are so amazing in their own special way, I decided to do a little piece on each one.

So first, Brooklyn is five now and loving her kindergarten year. She has an amazing teacher who teaches her lots of songs. I think she is catching on to learning like wildfire and is loving every minute of it. At home she loves to be the number one helper. She mothers her brothers probably better than I do most of the time. She is a detailed and creative artist who is not afraid of color (of course, I get a kick out of that). She loves to sing and dance and is a breeze of fresh air.
