Words of Wisdom from Dr. Seuss

My kids

Sometimes I look at my kids and I can't help but smile! I find myself looking at them and thinking that I am the luckiest mom alive! Sometimes, I feel so much love and so much pride for my children, that I honestly feel like I could burst! Sunday morning, we were all getting ready to go to church and all 6 of us where crunched in our little bathroom all brushing our teeth, and I looked at my family and I had this feeling come over me and I could not believe that I had this cute little family that I love so much, and then I thought, I can't believe that I have 4 kids, it seems crazy to me sometimes, but I guess the Lord knows what he was doing in sending them all to me. Sometimes I just wish I knew what I was doing! But how can you help but not love and smile at these cute little faces!



Kaylix was the cleaning Fairy!

Keegan thought he was hilarious!

Corbin was trying to hide so I couldn't take his picture!

And Chelsey will always smile for the camera!

She keeps asking me when she can go to the dentist and get braces, because she says her front teeth just keep getting bigger and further apart! I told her when all her other teeth stop falling out and when they all grow in, then we will see what happens! She is still missing teeth and so her front ones look large because there is nothing next to them! But she sure is beautiful!

She also has been doing so well in school. Yesterday she came home and was so excited because she had improved her Diebels score (a reading test for words per minute) by almost 40 points. I was also very proud of her and told her that she should feel very proud. And she did!

Corbin has loved playing basketball this season, most of his team is kids in his class, so that makes it fun for him. He plays his little heart out and has worked really hard. He comes home from his games smelling like a sweaty little boy, but he is proud of every minute of that stink, because it means that he played hard and a lot of the game time.


Keegan and Kaylix and I, well we spend a lot of time together. Today, Jenna was nice enough to put together a little "play date" for us! We had a lot of fun. In fact, I think that I spent more time out of my house today with people outside of my family than I have in years! I went to Jenna's this morning went home put the 2 little ones down for a nap, cleaned the house, went and got Chelsey and Corbin, went to the store to buy Valentines while the gettins are good! Then tonight I went to a Cookie Lee party. I admit that I hate those kinds of things. For me, if I go, then I feel like I have to buy something. I hate to go and go home empty handed, but I also hate to go and buy things that I really don't need but I buy them so I don't feel bad. Or, I usually don't go, then I don't have the guilt of not buying or buying something and then having to justify spending that kind of $$! But, I went and I got a really cute necklace, one of the cheapest ones I could find that I liked! It has been a good day, I feel renewed from getting some outings with friends!
