Tuesday Treasures

I have been so tired at night to blog

I still have to find that perfect time each day

Just like I try to schedule that perfect time to do everything

I find myself sometimes doing the very same things

that I find others doing

that drive me crazy

It is interesting how easy it is to look at others

and get annoyed

and yet

you do it to

I over plan

worry way to much

try to get everything just right

and when I watch others do this

it drives me up the wall

Just thought I would share that

So this is what is on my mind

First of all

I think I may have said this before

but I truly think I have the best kids in the entire world

Each time I think about how I agonized and made deals with God

about when I thought it would be good to have a baby

He showed me

that if I was just patient

and waited on His time

then these three little blessings is what I would recieve

Wow

Could not imagine even having joy if I did not have them

they are the air I breath

and fill my heart was so much love I can't stand it

I just wish I could just freeze time

But

it does seem to get better and better

My mom was so right

It gets better with age

I feel nearing 35 I am happier then ever

I just care about the things that matter

When I was younger

not so much

So

I wanted to list some things that are happening with each of them

that I treasure the most...

Samantha

I love the faces you have been making latley

It is like a sarcastic, yet sweet, yet I know more then you know look

It is a good look

Not a sassy one

but one that makes my belly ache I laugh so hard

You scrunch your nose,

raise your lip a bit

and get a little country twang in your voice

You know you are funny

You love it

You over think everything

No idea where you got that from

You plan everything

You want to know every last detail of every minute

You have trouble enjoying the moment

even though you are happy

You remind me so much of myself it is scary!

You love to read

write

draw

organize

You can't keep a secret to save your life

Just like me :(

I think Cleaning your room is you least favorite thing to do in the whole world

You love to design clothes

try to sew

yet your patience wears

You love to come up with cute outfits to wear

and I do bite my lip,

and just let it go

Unless I just truly can't let you out like that

You have a million scratches from who knows what

You always want a hair cut

you always want your sweets

yet you know it is not good for you

you just can't help yourself

again, sounds familair

You are such a goofy (in a good way)

little girl

I love our girl talk at night

I love that you love Disney

even though you keep it secret

I love that you love your brothers so much

I love you

Bo

I love when you get a haircut

or I should say I cut your hair

You look so handsome and sharp

I love your shorts and polos

you have no idea what a snazzy dresser you are

even though you often ask why do you have to always wear church clothes

I love how you entertain yourself

in your own world

acting out action figures or playing with legos

I love playing games with you

I love to watch you dance and karate chop

You are very loud

Very jumpy

Very active

But at night

you are very cuddly

very sweet

and very still much my little boy

You hike your pj pants so high

even though daddy thinks I do it

You love for me to smell your breath after you brush

As you still have a whole tube of tooth paste on your face

You love to be read to

and it never fails that you come to our bed

every

single night

But that is okay

I know one day you won't

I love how you throw your back pack down in the neighbors yard when you run after you get off the bus

I love your hugs

and your "Mommy I just love you so much"

You are so special

I love you

Baylen

Oh Baylen

You grew so much this past week

You love to throw and catch the ball and say "YESSSSS"

You love to sing...it is always baa baa black sheep tune,

but you add words

You love to dance

You are so smart

so smart

you know how to do so much

colors, sorts, build, body parts, people

Amazing

You love to take showers

You love to go though drawers in the bathroom and discover every little thing

I love when you crouch down, not like you are sitting, but crouched

and really study what is in front of you

I love your eyes and the determined look you get on your face

You work puzzles

You love in the morning to watch talk shows with me and cuddle

you will go get your blanket and passy

and we rock

You do what I do

Today I layed on the floor

so you did too

You love Piper

You follow her everywhere

I love when you enter a room you slam the door open... bamm

I love that you still love your bottle

Ok I know that is bad

I love that you love a night time story

I love toddler pjs

and that a toddler fit does not even phase me

I love how you talk through a passy and make perfect sense

I love how you are a cut up at the dinner table

I do miss your fat legs

I love you

So I do have to say one thing about Piper

I love that when I am on the computer

she sleeps on my feet

Everytime I come to this spot

to sit and type or check e mails

she comes from wherever she was

and sleeps on my feet

I have to say

that I still do not find there is enough time in the day

It takes the whole day

to do what just has to be done

My goals for this week

leading up to Easter

Is to walk in Jesus' shoes

and know that He is looking out for us always

always

we are the ones that forget Him

I want to give Him the control

and not worry about so much

and know that new ideas and things will come to me at the right time

I would like to not worry as much as I do

That would be so freeing

Yes

that is a good goal

That I can trust God with my life and my families life

and that He's got it under control

not me
