Devils by day.....Angels by night!

This was a random thought I had just as I was checking on my kids before bed. Life sure gets crazy around here sometimes, and I forget how innocent and precious my kids are. Most of the time, I am so excited they are asleep, I forget to reminice about all the beautiful and momentous thoughts, actions, and accomplishments of the day. I need to use this as a reminder to stop and take in all the days by looking at my beautiful children while they are the most peaceful.


Olivia: What can I say about you! How innocent and beautiful is your mind! You have such a wonderful gift of getting those around you to forget about their troubles and focus on how adorable you are. When you are in the mood, you are the most polite child. Ask you a question and you answer .. "Of Course!" and You want to pose the question it is "Excuse Me?" Those beautiful big blue eyes are from Grandpa Funk!
Isaac, I just wonder if it gets exhausting being you!!! We recently purchased a T-shirt for you that states: "Bet you wish I had an OFF BUTTON!" You are one amazing kid! Such a perfect little boy, doing all the "boyish" things like Spiderman, Transformers, and Cars, but bring out the nailpolish and you are right there with the best of them, painting Mom's toes. I am so blessed and thankful you are in my life. You make me miss my Dad, especially with the "DAD" look you get by staring everyone down for the first time!



Mckenzie, You are such a loving, kind-hearted, compassionate, and all together full of life little girl. You have no idea what joy you bring to me and others around you. That laugh, that giggle you have, takes any horrible mood and turns it into the most enjoyable moment. Thank you for being such a great example to your mamma!


Kids, Thank you for all you give to me, day in and day out. I am most certainly blessed that you are mine, forever!!!

What a sweet post T. I love your kids and I really enjoy watching them grow and develop. Brandon and I were commenting on the way home Saturday night how fun it was watching "Kung Fu Panda" with them because they all have this contagious laugh and hearing them all laugh at the same time was priceless.

You need a warning before people read this. "Could bring tears" I am crying. So cute. I hope you know what a wonderful mother you are to your children. You have always been a great example to me in every way but being a mother now I look up to you and Stephanie even more. Love you tonz.
