I never knew how much love a heart could hold, until they called me mom

S'more fun on Sunday

There are few things I love more than having my entire family together for dinner. It's not something that happens very often anymore, but my heart always feels like it could burst when I do have them all under the same roof. The ones I gave birth to, and the ones that we have opened our heart and home to... We had our normal Sunday dinner with all of the crew here, and then another S'more Sunday! It was loud (it's not always so loud, the little ones were really entertaining the company)... there was lots of laughter, lots of fun, and the best... always lots of love!

Caitlyn... worn out from posing with the chocolate bars and Bummy roasting a perfect marshmallow!



Kalli can make the perfect marshmallow too... Take note Kami....
One day we need to add on somehow so we have a large enough table to seat... oh, I don't know, 25 or so!
Tanner hiding from his mom while Jace enjoys his meal....
Dinner time!
We are resourceful.... any table becomes a kitchen table at our house!
Tallin, Preston and Brycen
Why is it when you put brothers together, there is always going to be horseplay????
Beautiful sunset....
Kassi.... s'more mom???
Garrett squishing his baby... don't do that!!! :)
18 weeks and counting....
Yep... almost heaven...
Celeste... that looks YUMMY!
Mmmmmm.....
Hey Kimi!
Kassi showing us how it's done!
Smoke follows beauty right?!
It's funny that Nate loves Brycen and Preston like he loves his big brothers... I wonder if he just thinks they are part of the family and they adore him too so it all works out for him well!
Brycen and Nate and Jace licking his fingers.
Now THAT is a face that enjoyed her S'more!Garrett teasing Nate with a marshmallow!


The big kids have as much fun making s'mores as the little kids do!
CHEERS!
Say cheese!
Why is Jace on the roof taking pictures????
Jace, still annoying us from the roof!

This is where it gets good... I wanted a picture of my kids, but Jace was on the roof taking the picture and said Preston had to pretend to be Jace.... so he promptly put his arm around Caitlyn and informed Jace he would be glad to take his place!!!
No child was actually put in danger for this picture!
Well... Jace might have been in danger, but he would have sacrificed his body to protect Nater's!
Nate LOVES when Kimi is home to play with him... she always sings him songs and plays games and he loves it!
Mutual admiration society with these two! Kimi is so good with little ones!
Nate was bored, and when Nate is bored everyone finds something for him to do... so this time Jace drove him around the back yard letting Nate drive! It was funny to watch them drive around and around in a circle just to make little man happy!
Nate got mad everytime Jace turned off the blinker!
Look ma, I'm driving!

Mom... Mom... Look at me Mom!
Driving in the back 40.... okay, well, we only really have a couple of acres so not really 40!

LOVED this post Kim.Its so fun to watch all the siblings interact and have so much fun. Especially love the boys mucking around, makes me so keen to have mine grow up and be the same. As if they don't interact like that enough right now...haha.
