So yesterday I had one of those moments that left me feeling a bit guilty, but more importantly made me want to act! I was thinking about how awesome this time of my life is and how I envy those friends of mine that take the time to record all the fun things that their kids do. So, I am hoping and praying that I will take up blogging....again.....for the umpteenth time!! I want to do it for my kids so that they will have something more than pictures to look at of when they were growing up. Because although pictures are wonderful, there are so many fun stories that I doubt the pictures will tell them.
To start off, let me just say how precious Jared is with his little brother Mason. We have been struggling to get Mason to go to bed with the older two. Two nights ago Jared invited Mason to go to come to bed with him and enticed him with a story. I had little hope that it would work, but miraculously it did!!! Mason fell asleep in Jared's bed and it was awesome. Jared did the same thing last night and is so cute about it. Jared is such a great older brother and absolutely adores Mason. Jared is a sweet boy with a tender heart. He is sensitive and kind and I am so blessed to have him in my life. He has become such a big helper and enjoys the responsibility of being the oldest. He performed a song on his guitar for the school talent show. I was so proud of him. It took a lot of courage for that little 1st grader to get up in front of the whole school and play that song. And to top it off he even sang!!! He played "Day Tripper" by the Beatles. What a remarkable son I have been blessed with!
Brittany is my little mommy. She loves to play baby and "nurture" the little kids younger than her. She tells the cutest stories and has the best imagination. On Sunday she was running a bookstore out of the family room. I bought several books from her and she was telling me all about it. I absolutely love her sweet voice and expressions. She is so dramatic and captivating. She had her first (and last) dance recital on Friday. I say last because she has told me she does not want to do dance anymore. But she was a trooper and finished out the year. She looks so cute in her costume and I was so proud of her perseverance in spite of her distaste to the whole thing. She says she would like to do gymnastics next year! I just want her to be happy!!
Mason. Where do I begin? This little boy captivates my heart and warms my soul!! He is the sweetest, cuddliest thing on Earth! He loves to cuddle on the couch with me and watch "Gaego" (aka Diego.) He loves cars (bye-bye's,) choo choo's, and playing outside. He loves to ride around in the cul-de-sac on his trike and he often thinks he is a big kid! He is soft spoken and laid back but makes a big impression on everyone. He brings so much joy to our family!
There you have it! A post from me! I pray that I will find the time to record these precious details of my life and the lives of my most prized possessions.
