:: robots and cars ::


Kuper: modeling his new robot shirt from the lovely Kimberly of iMarriedMrRogers


wish I could say Kruz usually doesn't wear Cars pajamas in the middle of the day... 
he's my third kid. what can I say? I'm exhausted and it's all he wants to wear! oh well. : ) oh and he has ink on his face. What else is new.


Kuper loves the camera!


May can't get here soon enough! for now I have onions. 
grow onions grow!


sword fights... a daily must have in the Bankston house


Kuper and I planted one little baby strand of this succulent last year and it has really taken off! We love checking in on it from time to time ~ always brings a smile to his face.

moments of joy

Here's a small glimpse of my happy moments with the boys this last week. I made a huge effort to take pictures~ being "busy" has gotten in the way snapping photos and I really do miss capturing them in moments that are special to me. It's so easy to forget those moments and they grow SO fast. This week inspired me to keep my camera out and use it as much as possible.



 mom's treat: afternoon popcorn and a movie. 
they thought i was the coolest : )


 kade's first year of team basketball~ he's the point guard and doing an amazing job!! We are so very proud of him!


 "squirmy" the worm gets a home

by the way, aren't my chalkboard labels cute... here's where i got them. gotta love etsy!



photo session by the boys




time for some creativity ( my favorite )




soaking up some warm california sun while playing 
a creative game of tick tack toe


see, i really do exist : )
my little red shoes are proof!

{ champs }

The boys are champs when it comes to the flu. I'm lucky because they are really low maintenance.

Kuper got it first now Kruz and praying Kade stays healthy this weekend.

Here are a few photos of from the week so far.

winter-y days

Power outages are super fun when you're 8 and 5...  reading books with a flashlight and playing hide and go seek. 

Good times!!



Here are a few things the boys have been up to...



 Kruzee has play time while the bubba's are at school.



 The big boys are now in charge of decorating the mantle...   


Playing with friends 

(pictured are the boys holding the twins for the first time)
