Yeah so it's been a while... I think it's because my brain has officially gone to mush. No seriously. Something happened with Emery this morning that made me laugh SO hard! I went to go right it down but couldn't find a piece of paper so I thought, "I'll just blog about it after they go down for a nap"... and now I'm sitting here and can't even REMOTELY remember what she said/did. It's so sad because there are SO many wonderful moments everyday! I guess that's the magic of being a stay-at-home mommy is those moments are MINE. They are unique, special moments that only I get to share and enjoy... pretty special, I think. :)
It's November... and It's BEAUTIFUL outside. Emery and Brigham LOVE playing outside. Every day around 4 we end up out front riding bikes/toys and talking to our neighbors... have I ever told you how much I LOVE our neighbors?! All of them... we have a great street! The kids absolutely love their friends. On a good day when Emmy hears them outside playing she runs to me and says, "Mom! My friends are outside, let's go play!" pretty much any other day she pushes the ottoman over to the front door, unlocks it, then jumps down and after pushing the ottoman back lets herself, and her baby brother, out the front door. Luckily the ottoman is old and makes a really loud squeaking noise. :) haha
What The Kids Are Doing These Days:
Emery LOVES to pray, she says almost every one of our prayers now (it's just SO cute to say no!) She starts off every prayer with "Heavenly Father, thank you for mom and dad, thank you for Brigga. Bless the food (even if there is no food to be blessed. haha) Name of Jesus Christ---- and then she WAITS. I think she likes feeling in control here, she knows we'll all sit in silence until she says Amen. HAHA! Some sweet things she's said in her prayers (without being prompted) are...
-Thank you for Jesus.
-Thank you for Gramma
-Bless the Mac N Cheese
-Thank you Daddy go work, bless he be safe.
-Thank you for family night (AWE... I thought you hated family night?! At least that's the feeling I got when you started screaming, "I don't want to do family night!!" last week when we told you to come sing a song with us...)
Brigham... He is everything we expected with a preteen girl. I mean really, the kid is SO emotional! And although his fits are boarder-line psychotic his excitement, his love, and his laughter are SO passionate as well!! He is SO tender when he shows you love, he gives the sweetest kisses and the BIGGEST smiles and the most contagious laughs! We adore him!!! He has attached himself to ANY blanket in the house, but he has two favorites. It's so cute, he caries them just about anywhere... they even made it into the chicken coop the other day... tails draggin, oh yeah. It was great.
Being a mom is tough... really tough, but writing these moments down reminds me that it's also SO wonderful. I am so grateful I made the choice to be mommy!!
