My Children

Being a Mommy

Motherhood is one of the most challenging and also one of the most rewarding things I will ever do in life. My children are my everything!! They are my world, my constant. I love them more than anything. I love to see their sweet smiling faces and I love to hear them say..."I love you, Mommy....Infinitity!!". They are such sweet children. Heavenly Father blessed me with the best!!! Watching them learn and grow has been wonderful. Words cannot describe it. My children make me complete!

Greyson
Greyson is 5 1/2 months old, and has already brought so much love and joy into our lives. He is such a good baby. He hardly ever cries, he smiles, and laughs, and watches with wonder. He loves his big brother and sisters so much. He loves to just sit and hang out with Mommy. He is definitely a cuddler. At his last doctor visit we found out he had grown 3 inches since his last visit. Carly says he has "chubby cheeks" like her and Mommy (so funny!!) . We have been truly blessed to have this little spirit in our lives, and we are so grateful for our little caboose!!





Carly
Carly is 4 1/2 and is Mommy's little princess. She loves Barbies, and make-up, and glitter. She is very strong willed, and knows what she likes. She is the average 4 year old....likes to change her outfits a few times a day. She loves preschool and her teachers (Mr. Tim, Mrs. Julie, and Mrs. Mary) she loves to learn sign language, and looks forward to school everyday. Mondays are Mommy and Carly days, she gets to spend Monday with Mommy because she doesn't have school. We always have a great time!!!

Ethan
Ethan is 6 and is our little surge of engery. He is so adventurous and full of spunk. He is really into Transformers and Cars. Every time we see a Semi or a yellow sports car he says, "Look Mom, It's Optimus Prime or Bumblebee!!". It is very cute. He loves kindergarten, and he is learning how to read so quickly. He loves being a big brother, and he is anxious to teach Greyson many things. He can't wait to share a room with Greyson, and he says..."Mom, I think Greyson will love a Transformer room!". He has quite an imagination...and I am loving it. He has so many ideas and goals. He loves to give lots of kisses and smiles and is really a funny guy!!

Ashley

Ashley is almost 9 and is Mommy's little helper. She is always willing to help out with anything. She loves to read, her favorite books right now are the Disney Fairy Books. She also likes to write short stories....and has written quite a few. She loves school, and loves to learn. Her favorite things right now are Hannah Montana, and Littlest Pet Shops. She recently told me she wanted to start collecting purses (and so it begins...haha!). She loves to sing, but is embarassed to sing for anyone but our little family. She loves to give hugs and kisses and the most important thing to her is her family. She is such a sweet girl, and I am amazed by her everyday!!!

Firsts

First captured video of Greyson rolling over. He wasn't too excited about it, but as soon as Mommy put the camera down he was fine. He is growing so quickly, and I can hardly believe he is already 5 months. He will definitely be crawling before we know it. I see him watch his brother and sisters and it really looks like he wants to get up and join them. So fun to watch them all interact. I love them so much!!

Carly's Musical Debut

One of my favorite things I love to do with the kids is sing in the car. We have been doing it for a long time. For one reason it is fun...and we love to sing. Another reason is when we are singing nobody is doing other things (aka. pinching, biting, pulling hair, and other activity that can happen when Mommy is busy driving!!) My kids favorite CD right now is the soundtrack from "Mamma Mia", and their favorite song from it is "Lay All Your Love on Me"...or according to Carly #6. She knows all of the songs by name and also by number. She doesn't like #9 because it is not in the movie!!! So anyway here she is hamming it up for the camera. Ashley and Ethan are singing to in the background and mommy too a little. (For all you terrified mothers out there...the car was parked in a parking lot -we are avid seat belt wearers :)!!)
