Nieces and Nephews

It's hard to imagine my life without my 5 little babies running wild. What did we ever do for entertainment before they were born?!  6 years ago I was so excited to be an auntie for the first time and them BAM! 3 nephews and 2 nieces later I am like, "Where the hell has the time gone?!"

They have brought me more joy and love than I could've ever imagined possible. It has been an extreme challenge living in a place where I can't just run and kiss their cute faces or get a quick laugh if I'm having a rough day. They're my happy medicine. And I miss them.

My dad... aka the greatest Grandpa in the world... always has "Grandpa weekends" where they all get to sleepover, eat as many treats as their hearts desire, watch movies and RUN WILD at his house, and lucky for me if he can get them all to stay in one place for 2 minutes he always has them call me. I LOVE this! I have a few voice mails saved that I will never delete, because on a day like today I can just pick up my phone and get an instant pick me up.

"Umm Hii Hannnaaah??"-Hunter

"We love you call us back!"-Aysha

"That deer is huuuuuge"-Hunter

"Hi, what are you doing? Just going home"-Ryder

"Hannah we love you call us back!"-Aysha

"Call us back!"-Hadley

"Are you here Hannah??"-Ryder

If you can imagine them all screaming and talking over each other...it truly is the cutest thing ever! Oh and it's a rare and sweet treat if Miss Hadley is willing to talk on the phone... that is challenge! Unless of course if it's "her Ausin", then she's more than willing.

I love these babes. They're my world. I am so grateful for them and to be their 'second mom' :)

(Goal: get them all in one place at one time to get a picture! I don't have ONE since Kai was born)
