Jovie is exuberant

That was the professional opinion of her pediatrician at her 5-year check up. I'd add to that: pretty, smart, wild, cheerful, jovial, friendly, helpful, strong. 

Isaac nails it.

We worked on shoe-tying skills for a long time, and he just NAILED it.

Isaac sings at the talent show.

Oh man, it was cute. TB and I were so nervous, I almost cried before he took the stage. But Ikey just walked up the microphone in front of all the kids in the school and lots of parents and grandparents and sang a song he made up.

Jovie sings a song...

I believe that she learned this from Ikey's school play, which she saw one time.

Ikey's school play

I have to say that they underutilized the boy's skills. He looked cute in camo pants as a member of the King's Men troop. 

The kids say...

Jovie: Mom, I do not have on enough makeup. 

Me: You have on a lot of makeup. How much would be enough?

Jovie: Like three pounds of lipstick. 

Me: I don't think anyone ever wore three pounds of lipstick. 

Jovie: Then I'm going to set a record. 

Me: Be careful eating that. It's pretty hot. 

Jovie: We're Jedis. Don't worry.

Isaac: We have the force.

Isaac is downstairs singing Taylor Swift (Shake it Off) and Rhianna/Eminem (Monster). 

Jovie: You're the best mom in the Milky Way. 
Me: Awwww.
Jovie: That's just a Star Wars joke. 

Skiing on no snow...

We've been skiing even though it hasn't been snowing. 

Ikey likes to watch the world go by from the floor of the Cabriolet.

Here's our ski movie from Feb 22: http://youtu.be/uHsw_wlr5vo  Jovie specifically requested this song for this movie. Yes, we totally think that alcoholic anthems are good songs for the kids.
