Sipping the good life

Lately I've been really counting my blessings and thank the Lord for my beautiful children, my sweet husband and the opportunity to be a mother. I love these pictures that CK took of Alexandra and I. We were sharing a cup of peppermint tea after church. We were racing to see who could slurp it the fastest....

can you guess who won? Little hog.

Mmm, I love peppermint tea...and it has been a long time since I've had some.
SO cute.

I'm doing the same actually. I'm trying to kick back... relax... not feel like I have to rush everywhere. Just enjoy my kids. I looked at Benson the other day and saw him older- ya know? I saw a little 12 year old in his face and it was weird! He's getting so big so fast.

I'm sorry you locked your keys in your car TWICE! See... my cell would have been in the car too! Guess it's better to prepare for that before it happens.

Alex is such a cutie! I would be freak'n out if I locked my kids in the car, you look pretty calm. I don't deal well with stressful situations.

Love the tea pics! Those are precious moments--the kids locked in the car--maybe not as much. I still think it's pretty funny! Good for you for keeping your cool.

Mel, these pics are the cuttest ever!!!! I love it! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one to lock my kids in the car. I did it last month at Jod's house. Onstar wouldn't help me cause I didn't have an "active" account. AAA was gonna take 45 min. So I finally called 911. Nolan was a popcycle when we finally got it unlocked cause the AC was on high!
