Things I LOVE

It has been such a long time since I have updated our blog, I thought I would just write a few thoughts and then hopefully very soon post some pics and more updates.

I woke up today with a sense of gratitude for some reason. You know how there are just days when you see God in your life and everything seems right. Well today is one of those days for me. So I thought I would share some of the things I love!

I LOVE my HAPPY, snuggly, smiley, giggly, chubby 6 month old Kolbi!! She makes everything right in the world. I love how she is always excited to see me and flaps her arms so fast she looks like she will take flight! She is the BEST baby ever!!

I LOVE how Kambria closes her eyes when her preschool teachers lead her out the door to me. She loves having them lead her and then not open her eyes until I grab her hand. It reminds me how the Lord takes our hands and leads us through the mazes in our life if we let Him.

I LOVE that my husband kisses me goodbye every morning even though I may still be sleeping in bed or have just gotten up and have horrible morning breath.

I LOVE when Kyle and Kaylee come home from school and BOUND in the door with all the energy in the world. I have to remind myself that is their way of showing me how excited they are to be home! :)

I LOVE having people over whether it is friends of the kids or whoever. I love being a hub of fun and entertainment. I am not the best at just relaxing when others are here because I want everyone to have a good time, but I have a good time if everyone else is happy and relaxed.

I LOVE music. I am not picky about what kind of music I listen to really. My ipod has anything from Led Zeppelin and Metallica to Frank Sinatra to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to George Strait to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Today on the way home from preschool I had a 70's CD in the car and I just had to laugh when Kambria was singing along to "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "Stayin' Alive".

I LOVE parent/teacher conferences. We had Kyle and Kaylee's conferences last night and it was wonderful!! They are so smart and such great kids!! We are so proud of them!!

Well this post has been longer than I intended, but I just wanted to share a few thoughts and jot them down for myself!!

I love your post I was just thinking how Joey has made our family complete and the joy that he not only brings to Joe and I but to Lillie and Jacob who remind me everyday what is important. We are so excited for your family what a great adventure you are set to take at the sametime we will miss your everyday presence in our lives.....
