I was trying to take a picture of my 3 little kids. Jadyn was not cooperating. I tried to bribe her with candy. Pose for a picture and she can have candy. She wanted the candy before she posed for the picture. That girl can be so stubborn. It's a power struggle. I tried to stand my ground but then she makes a pout and cries, "I'm so happy!, I'm so happy, I'm so happy!" I just have to give in. One spoiled child... one spoiled teenager... I can hear my mom telling me as I grew up.. "wait till you have a daughter just like you..." It echoes in my mind. I pray that none of my kids act the way I did growing up. I pray...

Oh the poor middle child! I can see a drop of drool hanging off of Jonah's lip! ha ha ha! He's so cute! They're all so cute! Emma looks like your brother Andy in this picture...

hey, that's exactly what i say all the time (about Emma looking like Andy.) Jadyn acts exactly like our G. She would totally demand the candy before taking the picture!

Your kids are sooo cute! I can't believe how quickly they grow up! And, Jadyn is hilarious as she cries and says "I'm so happy..." Eh, it's something that I would do! Haha.

I'm telling you, Jadyn reminds me of myself as a kid! Aw... I think my mom has a few pictures of me about that age - I'm crying in them. :-)

I can't believe how quickly they're growing - Emma's already a young lady!
