Fashion

Tonight we were in a hurry to get ready for a wedding reception in Springville. I had been at the school all day and my kids had been at Grandma Tammy's house. Trayson fell asleep so Addi and I ran home to change and pick up Trenton. I changed my clothes and asked Trenton how I looked. I don't know why I bother asking him because he usually responds with "Why are you asking me? I don't know anything about matching clothes." By this time Addi had come into the room wearing her "air balloon dress" (this is a tunic with hot air balloons on it that Tressa picked out for her for a birthday present). She stated, "How do I look guys?" We both told her she looked cute and I went on to say something about wishing we could all be as fashionable as her. Her reply to me, "Well mom, you can't!"Right after her reply she twirled round, tossed her hair off her shoulders, and strutted away.  I guess that answers my question. Apparently I will never be as "fashionable" as my Addison. I am still trying to figure out where on Earth she came from:)

Gratitude

As I sit here tonight thinking about how late it is and how we really needed to get on an earlier bedtime schedule I am overwhelmed with a feeling of gratitude. I am so grateful that my loving Heavenly Father  has given my family and I so many wonderful blessings. I am the luckiest girl in the world right now. An amazing man loves me (even though I know I drive him crazy sometimes) and I have the two most perfect kids. I can't believe how fast our little ones are growing up. I am so thankful that I get to be their mom. Even though there are days when I wonder what in the world I am doing, I know that my Father in Heaven gave me these two wonderful blessings for a reason. They are both so different yet so full of the same energy. I cannot imagine my life without them and their dad in it. I am thankful for the knowledge that my family is sealed together for eternity. I love them all more than any words could ever express.
