Cute Kids :)

The other night I went into the boys room to tell them all its bed time. When I went in they were all sitting on Jonathan's bed reading National Geographic magazines. They LOVE those! There are a ton of National Geographic's that are kept up at the cabin that they read every time we go up, but my dad left a few for them when he was here and they are constantly reading them! Thanks Papa!! Anyways I always read to them before bedtime, or have them read to each other because well 1. they like reading and its really good for them, and 2. it settles them down and gets them ready for bed. Well I was so happy when I came in and saw them All together, Bethanee and Nicolas reading to Jonathan and Zac. I love that they are all so close. Don't get me wrong they ALL have their moments, and a lot of the time someone is left out, but at times like this I just smile, they really are great kids :)

So after the first picture they all wanted me to take another one with "silly faces." Gus's face is Hilarious!!

So instead of the reading calming them down and then putting them all to sleep, they all kinda got crazy and we had some fun!

Gus always has the funniest faces! Benj and I have caught him looking in the mirror making different and funny faces. The kid actually practices it! We'll even be driving down the road and look back in the back seat and there'll be Gus making faces out the window, off in his own world. He is the funniest kid, he always makes me laugh.... they all do actually :) The Joy of being a parent~

Nicolas knows how to do a hand stand. He starts like this and then straitens his legs up and pushes his head up off the ground. Its crazy to watch, he's got some SKILLS!

Bethanee is working on it, she's getting pretty good with the head stand. She can't be shown up by her brother, she is VERY competitive...... wonder where she got that??

Here is Jonathan doing his rendition of a head stand :) He's so cute. He and Gus always have the Rocker pose in almost every picture.

Then when I finally said its bed time Zac just lied on the floor, closed his eyes and pretended to snore! Then they all piled next to him and did the same. Seriously, I have the funniest/cutest kids!!! I know every parent says that, but with mine its true!
