Life is flying by as always. Seneca is getting so big it's insane! She finally figured out how to scoot forward really well so now she has become  what I lovingly refer to as a "stalker baby." You see before she would just cry when I left the room, now she can cry AND follow me. She has started saying "Dada" when she sees Jess, little does she know she should be saying that to the mailman...wawawa. She also loves jumping and will jump on your lap if you hold her. This is especially nice during sacrament meeting because it really looks like I am making her jump and being really irreverent, oh well think what you want peeps. She also figured out the fishy face and does it constantly, again she is getting SO BIG!

 We had a campfire  as a family on Friday night. It was such a blast. I guess this is why people go camping just to get away from life and enjoy eachothers company for awhile. The kids took turns telling us funny and spooky stories. My favorite was probably when Pantera told a story about a werewolf and then she was asking me afterwards "What would be the worst part of being a werewolf?" I said "waking up naked" she agreed and I added "or maybe waking up with blood under your fingers and not knowing where it came from." She agreed and said "Yeah, what if you got HIV?" Exactly.
 Jess is determined not to let any of his siblings see his sweet mustache so all of his picture will look a little like this from now on...

Amari was pretending to be a mom the other day and listed some of her mom skills "I can clean the house, bake a cake, make you dinner, take care of kids, I can do all of the mom stuff." So I asked her what kinds of things dads do "They tell you to go to bed and sometimes make you an egg burrito." She invited herself to the neighbors house and I told her that was not polite to invite yourself over, she replied "I wasn't just inviting myself, I was inviting ALL of us!" In that case...

The dog was in the house and Amari went to check on her, when she came in to me to report she said "She is upstairs in the bathroom, drinking BUM WATER." And speaking of bums Amari never remembers to wipe grrr...and she told me "I have a rash on my butt." Zeke added "Mom, I wipe and there is nothing on my butt, not even a crack."

Zeke and Amari are quite the nurturers. They came to me and were so proud with Amari saying "Katurah got hurt so I kissed it better." Then Zeke said "And I told her 'poor thing''. That is how he comforts everyone now, walks up to them and says in a semi monotone voice "poor thing" and walks away. Love him.

Katurah is talking more and more. Her older sisters taught her to say "shake your booty!" She can't say her ink it comes out unk so her favorite pony Pinkie Pie is Unkie Pie. I bought her a pair of Tinkerbell shoes and she LOVES them so much that she insisted on wearing them to church and I caved, so she was all dressed up with her cute hair done wearing her "Unkerbell" sneakers. I guess I am officially that mom.

Pantera still constantly leads the kids on wonderful adventures. I love listening to them play all the creative games they come up with. She is so good at getting them all involved. You are going to be a wonderful mother someday Pantera. 2 more weeks until her school is out!!! I can't wait!
