Whatcha been doin?

 Okay I know this post only has two pictures BUT they are two seriously important ones.

1.  Ayden can officially make her own bed.  She has been able to clean her room for a long time.  Every single night we pick up our toys.  We go from room to room and pick up every single toy and take it to the room that it belongs in.  Now this is a HUGE step for me.  For those of you who don't know me well I'm kinda a neat freak.  This is one of the many many areas of my life that three kids have taught me to relax in.  I used to wear myself out running behind the kids picking up after them.  Crumbs, toys, clothes...or whatever else may fall off their little bodies.  Its one of those things I have learned to not control.  I used to find myself cleaning so much that I missed out on tea parties and dress up and shooting guns.  I would pick up only to turn around and see the same toy out again.  I would get so overwhelmed and frustrated.  Tye finally had enough courage to tell me I was crazy...and he was right!  I want my kids to make the best childhood memories at home and with those come messiness!!  So long story long I don't do that anymore:)  We clean before bed and with four people helping it takes about 10 minutes.  After every toy is delegated to its specific room, Ayden cleans hers, Tye helps Ryan and I clean up Myles's room.   One night after we cleaned Ayden ran up to me and told me to close my eyes she had a surprise for me.  So I did and she carefully lead me to her room and said, "Ta daaa"  I was so proud and very impressed!

 2.  This picture is pure trouble.  These two have really started playing together more lately.  I think Ryan finally realized after a year Myles isn't going anywhere or Myles has taken up for himself about three times now by biting his brother.  Whatever the reason it makes me happy!!  This was Myles's present from us for his birthday.  It goes 1.5mph which is fast enough they think they are really moving but slow enough that if they run into my wall it leaves no damage.  Ryan loves to take Myles around the house and Myles loves to ride.  He clings on to Ryan's shirt for dear life its so funny.

Anyway here is a glimpse of our world lately and we couldn't be having more FUN!

Also, Ayden started dance and is seriously the cutest ballerina/tap dancer in the world:)
