Im not a prince!

So if any of you have ever had an extensive conversation with me you know that I love all eight of my adorable Niece's and Nephew's! I can hardly stop myself from musing about them constantly to people! I think that they all are the greatest things since sliced bread! I always have so so much fun when I am with them. They brighten up my day every time I get to see any of them. I think that I appreciate them more than anyone else in my family, simply because I am the youngest so they all have become a replacement for the lack of younger Brothers and Sisters. 

I became an Aunt at he age of 13 and I have loved every minute of it. My favorite is when the girls realize that they are girls so they get to do fun stuff like their hair and nails and play with Aunt Helen's make-up (oh goodness this is always an adventure and I never know that they have done it until they come up stairs with it all over their faces!) Sidney is the biggest at this. She loves loves loves pink and she loves to have me do her hair. I have put her to sleep a couple of times doing it. Oh the price we pay for beauty.

I also have the sweetest Nephews in the world. What girl doesn't like to be told that they are beautiful. The boys are also fascinated with make-up and what not...we just don't let them put it on, but they all love to watch me put it on. (I would be lying if I said that I never put mascara on E or painted all of their nails, they are so so persistent!) this show, of me putting on make-up, without fail has resulted in them all telling me that i am bootiful! I love it! (does that make me vain?)

Ahhh...family, I love my family so much! What a huge blessing they all are to me! I will be forever grateful to all of them. They have all done huge giant things for me! Even the little ones and they don't even know it! 

Things I love to do and hear and my favorite quotes from my Nieces and Nephews:

Eskimo Kisses with Tomo

Bill's crazy little hugs, that are totally random!

Tomo telling Beck "I not a prince Mommy! I don't have a Twon (crown) on my head!"

Lilly spraying butter into all the little kids mouths, she will be the president someday!

Sidney Exclaiming "SUNNY AGAIN!" at the filtered light that comes through the clouds in Seattle.

Ethan asking why my hair is so white, and then 10 min later asking me why my room was so messy. (this story is pretty funny maybe I will tell it to you sometime)

Hayden being such a giant sweet heart! He is the nicest boy on the face of the planet, and he tells me all of the time that I am beautiful!

McKay and how we share a birthday and how he says how old he is.

So I was reading over this post with Cammie Jo and I realized that I totally forgot about Raegan! Oh that little girl is a life saver!

I see Cammie Jo with her and I realize how much I want to be a Mom someday! 

Raegan lived with us this summer and she is so cute and girly! We painted her toe nails! Oh that was fun! Her sign language is awesome! She loves brownies! I love her so much! And I can't believe I forgot for her!

 

They are all great and there is much more I could share but I will leave it at that for now.

Thank Heavens for Kids and for Family!
