It's funny how my feelings for my children can change so drastically within a 30 minute time span. Often, when it's bedtime, I get so frustrated with their last minute requests for potty breaks, glasses of water, last minute stories that go on and on, etc. I just want them to go down and get on with my long list of things I need to finish up for the night (this is usually on weekday's of course). Then, once they are asleep, my feelings become much more tender. They always seem so sweet and peaceful! I then want to linger, often sitting by their bedside rubbing their little foreheads. I'll miss when I no longer get to check on my children at night! It's one of my favorite times of the day!
Aubrie feel asleep like this the other night! She is so much like her father, who sleeps on the floor with the floor fan right by his head, about 50 percent of the time! He even keeps a blanket under our bed, so he doesn't have to get up in the middle of the night to get one! Ha! No wonder we don't need a King Bed!
Boston is almost always the first one out! 
Ethan always sleeps without a shirt! Take note of his "blanket" that he's had since he was a baby (the Relief Society baby gift). 
Our lightest sleeper of them all! I'm surprised I was able to get this without her waking up! We usually crack our toes before we go check on her!

Evie and Sophia must have similar sleeping habits. Evie NEVER falls asleep in the car, and she is a VERY light sleeper. I have wanted to kick myself several times when I have gone in to check on her and not been completely SILENT, because guess who's awake within seconds?! I never thought to crack my toes, I'm seriously going to have to try that one from now on!:) Thanks for the idea!
Your kids are soo cute and getting so big. There is nothing likke a sleeping child at the end of the day to erase the moments of frustration and remind you that they are little angels and how much your really do love them. By the way-Ethan's bedding-the same as Connor and Jake's. You have great taste, the same couches, christmas trees and bedding! come see us soon!
