So, there was a time when I was a little younger that I imagined having kids. I was certain it was an easy thing. I of course knew that I would do a flawless job of it. My kids would have perfect manners, they would behave well at all times (especially in stores or restaurants) they would ALWAYS be clean and well dressed, only eat the healthiest foods at ALL times, by no means would they ever be aloud to eat in my car and under no circumstance would my perfect children EVER do something as I told them not to....HA!THEN I HAD KIDS! Boy do all the things you "think" you know go out the window!To say that my "perfect" children give me a run for my money (oh wait, I'm not even paid for this?) would be an understatement! I have in my almost 5 years of being a mother and 4 kids later, finally come to the understanding that my children do not have to be perfect to my standards. They were however created perfect by our Heavenly Father! So, I take each day as it comes and I try to enter it with grace and patience and understand that although I may have to get by on 2 or 3 hours of sleep right now, these tiny little miracles are what make my world go round! Most days, I feel so unworthy of being their mom! They have taught me SO much more than I will teach them in their whole lives! I know what it is like to love someone so much you want to cry, what it's like to put myself last and actually be happy to do it and most of all I have learned what it truly means to be LOVED! I know without a doubt in my mind that my children love me and think that I am supermom....Little do they know;)
Peyton is now almost the BIG 5 and amazes us each day! She is so loving and caring and always does everything she can to be a big helper! Reagan is 2 1/2 and FULL of life! She really does think that the world turns around her and everyone on earth must bow down to her.;) Jordyn....Oh "sweet" Jordyn....Our FIRECRACKER! ALWAYS up to no good and doing it with a smile on her face!;) She is the bully around this house but so gosh darn cute, she "sometimes" gets away with it! Then there is little Caiden, our most needy baby by far!! We call him the incredible non-sleeping baby because he really does get by on maybe 6 hours of sleep a day....Most during the day so you can imagine how many hours we get by on.;) He wants attention every second he is awake and lucky for him, there is always someone willing to give it to him! Especially his sissys! Daddy is LOVING having a little buddy around to even the house out a little!
So, there you have it, not a very entertaining post, but just a little bit about my babes....The ones that make it all worth it! Here's a few recent pictures from our chaos.....
These 3 are the best of friends! I pray they keep that bond forever!
Before father's night at Peyton's pre-school
Mr. Caiden is 7 WEEKS OLD ALREADY!
A rare, very rare occasion that me and my love get a picture together! Taken by Peyton.:)
