Kara wanted a jeep for Christmas two years ago. Me - being the awesome mom that I am talked her out of it. But all year she would NOT let me forget it! She would tell me "Mom next year I am getting a jeep for sure." I will just ask Santa. Anyway - true to her word - she asked santa for a jeep. Well santa had one heck of a time finding one - but after some serious looking - we found a blue jeep. Not really girly - but - with my vinyl cutter I was able to put her name on the side and make it "awesome!" Guess who took it over.???? The boys are always in the "beach" - Poor Kara harldy gets to ride in it. But she is a trooper. She is always good about helping her little brothers. I am always amazed at the kindness my kids show each other. I think it is one of the coolest things about having a big family. You LEARN TO SHARE!!! People are always telling me how kind and considerate my kids are - kind of makes me smile thinking - it's the only way they can survive. It's not me and my super great parenting skills LOL - it is survival. Makes me smile.

It is you and Dave both. You are awesome parents and great examples to all of those around you. I wish I was more like you. You do everything great. I love your kids and their kind hearts also. Owen had the best time with Kara I think he may have somthered her but she was always patient and kind with him. Thank you for blessing the world with 7 more wonderful souls to help keep things in balance.
