Perfect Chaos

Sunday night, we had Nana over for dinner, and then afterwards the kids had planned to do a Talent Show for us. They WOWed us all with their AMAZING talents (I'm being sarcastic :)). Kelly started with a "standing on one foot on top of the upsidedown laundry basket" feat, then Charity followed with her amazing hoola-hooping abilities (which, she's actually REALLY good at it). Then Bradley copied Kelly, but with a "hold a ball in each hand" variation, and Luke followed suit and copied Bradley :) They were so cute and starving for attention, that we just cheered them all on. Afterward (completely unrelated to the talent show-go figure) Luke showed us his amazing Basketball talent....the kid is amazing! He makes like 90% of the shots he takes. It's cute. And he's really cocky, so that's even cuter :). I call this kind of evening perfect chaos because it's the whole family, just hanging out, making noise, bouncing around all together. I love it no matter how crazy or abnormal it is, thus I take pictures :)

This is Nana conjurring up an excuse to get the heck out of here. :) HA! jk. Nana was very sweet and humored us all :) We love Nana.

Bradley tried the hoola-hoop and did pretty well!

cute little basketball player! (sorry about the blurry picture folks....the lighting is not the best for this.

Cute little Noah loves it when we're all together too. He crawls around getting everyone to look at him and smile. It's fun.

And this was supposed to be of his funny little mouth thing that he does....his lips are just so cute....I don't know if anyone would really appreciate this as much as I do (mainly because you can't really see it) but I love it.

I'm obsessed with him okay :)

Okay, so it took me like 2 hours to upload these videos, so you BETTER watch them! HA! I'm kidding. I think the only reason I post video is so that when my kids are scrolling through the blog they have something else to get really excited about. They love the videos and will play them over and over again. This is also the reason for putting Brad and Kelly's "talents" on here :) They would be devastated if I didn't include theirs no matter how strange they were :) Where do they come up with this stuff :) But if you're bored, here they are....

So I'm not sure how these will post, but I will explain them. There are two of Luke "makin' shots" He makes two baskets in one of them. I just think it's cute how good he is. Granted he is standing on a laundry basket, but he does this well without it too.

Then there's Charity's Hoola-hooping one. She had already been going for like 10 seconds before I got my camera on and recording.....she's really good!

And of course, Kelly and Brad doing their standing on the basket talents :) They're cute kids. I just love it when they get all excited about these things.

This last one is the perfect example of our perfect chaos. It makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it. At the end of the Talent Show, Charity and Kelly wanted to do a little encore and were trying to pick a song that they could sing all together. This is how it went. Charity hoola-hooping, Kelly singing a Christmas song (in February, how cute! :)), Bradley starts out pouting on the floor because he had wanted a different song, then gets up to steal Luke's basket, and then tries to mess Charity up (which he actually makes the ball go through the hoola-hoop without stopping it....now that's talent!). Luke is in the background shootin' hoops, and then to top off the whole chaotic mess, he gets hit with the hoola-hoop at the end, then realizes that I'm getting it all and camera and runs over to see himself. I just love it! If you've ever wanted to have 5 kids (Noah was just sitting by me being his angelic little self btw), here's another good reason to!
