Smarty pants

I am amazed so often at how smart my kids are. Orin made a new character on a game the kids play. He named it by himself and he told me the name was "eat my sock". When I received an email confirming that he had made a character it had the name in the email. The name of his character was "Etmysok". I was so impressed! I couldn't believe that he had sounded it out so well. What a smarty!

The kids blog

A few weeks ago I asked the girls about starting a blog. They thought that was a fun idea. So after talking about it we decided on a name and I made the blog. Most of the posts will be by Teya and Eadie. So add it to your list of blogs to read. Here's the link.

10 (mostly) amazing years

Justin and I celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary last week (we've been together for 10). How time flies. It's hard to believe that we've really been together for that long. So much has changed in that amount of time.
The day before our anniversary I was thinking about how different my life was ten years ago. I would have never thought then, that my life would be where it is now.
I'm thankful for the one person who really "gets" me, understands me and wants to make me happy above anything else.
Babe - You're the best and I couldn't ask for a better husband!

Realization.....

It's so interesting how life changes. I remember when I was having my babies and I couldn't imagine a time that I would feel like I was finished having kids and not want to have a baby anymore. It was one of the hardest decisions I made, after Alton was born to get my tubes tied. I was so worried that I would regret my decision and want to have more kids.
Several friends and aquaintances have had babies lately. They are such a miracle. But there is not one little part of me that wants to go back to that phase of life. Babies are so much work and I love sleep too much to want that again.
I'm so thankful for my own "babies", it is amazing to watch them blossom right before my eyes. They are each at there own individual stages and it's so fascinating to watch them change. I'm so glad that I get to be a Mom!
