Rough day turned Awesome!!



















This day was an extremely challenging day as a mom for me. It was one of those days that your children just don't want to cooperate the way you want them to right when you want them to. I was running errands with my mom and the boys were loosing their minds. Everything naughty you could do, they were doing it. I was also by the way, running on a very short fuse, so this was not a shining day for me. We dropped my mom off at the chiropractor and then I was off to kill an entire hour with the hoodlems. I started to panick. I was already at the end of my rope. I found myself driving past the temple and then it hit me!! Go there!! I whipped into the parking lot and got out of the car. The boys were instantly silent. They both were so eager to see what their next adventure was going to be. We stood in front of the temple and I asked the boys, " If they could feel Jesus in their hearts?" They both said yes. I then asked, " can you feel him there when you are fighting and being naughty?" They both said no. I then said, " don't you want to always feel him?" They both said yes. Yay!! They got it!! It was a proud moment as a mommy that day. The boys loved walking on the temple grounds, asking questions, sitting on the bench that Nick proposed to me on. They didn't want to leave. When we finally left, the boys hopped in the car, buckled their seatbelts and off we went without a peep. Migraine gone and a happy rest of the day.

Nikson my little rockin' undies man!!


Although my son may hate me for this later in his life, I felt like a good laugh was worth the counseling he may have to undergo in his later years. One sunday morning while I was getting ready for church I heard the music come on the T.V in my room. It was loud and totally not Sunday morning material, so, imediately I start to get fired up because I just know that Nick had to of turned it on. I come rippin' out of my bathroom just in time to see this!! Nikson was rocking out. Dancing on my bed. When I asked him where his church clothes were he just said, " Mom, I needed to rock out first." What could I say to that? So we had a little rock out session and then hurried off to church. We slid in about 5 minutes before it started. I really love these memories.

Crazy about my family!!






I have been so jealous of everyone else on here talking about their wonderful families that I finally decided to take a leap and put my computer fears behind me and write about my little brood. I guess on this particular day I am just so thankful for happy, healthy children and one amazing husband who loves me regardless of my crazy ADHD tenancies. I often feel that I get running so hard sometimes that I forget to take time to appreciate the little things in life. Today that little thing was our 3 year old waking up from nap. Mason came half awake into my office with his blaket and had to snuggle with his mommy. He had been sweating at naptime and so his hair was wet with little ringlets. I had to stop everything because I just really needed to soak up that one moment. I love that they still need me as much as I need them.
