hallelujah.....

Kylie actually let me do her hair today-she never lets me do it anymore because she says it hurts.

Notice how nasty dirty Jon's hat is...he won't throw it away for anything. He says it "fits the best". Maybe someday it will show up "missing".

A moment in time-March

So we have been busy this month. Not really sure what we did exactly that has kept us so busy, but here are a few things I do remember...

*Parker has started rolling over from front to back and back to front. He hasn't figured out he can scoot across the room yet, but I am sure it is coming.


*I also cut his hair for the first time. This is a before picture....

After the haircut.



*I went to "Phantom of the Opera" with some friends and had a great time.


*Potty trained Kylie! Yeah! She is doing great too. All I had to do was buy her some underwear and ever since then, she just loves to pee on the potty. Why didn't I think of that earlier?!


*Had lunch with Jon in Golden. That place is beautiful. Jon has been working in Golden for about 6 1/2 months now. It is a long drive, but so pretty (Golden that is, not the drive to get there). So we got some lunch and went to the park. The kids were so happy to hang out with daddy for lunch. Mommy was happy too:)



*I have a sweet husband who watched the kids for me so I could go to "Time Out For Women". This is a 2 day event where one can go and listen to speakers speak about different topics ranging from being a mother, to being a wife, to being a child of God. What a wonderful and refreshing break that was for me. I listened to great speakers who know what I am going through as a mother. It is amazing to me that as I go to different functions at this time in my life, I feel as though the speakers know exacly what I need to hear. I am so grateful that. I felt so uplifted by the things they said. I hope I took something with me to be a better mother, wife and friend.


*Kylie's new thing is to say, "Are you happy now mom?" She says it all the time-if that tells you anything about me:) She loves for me to be happy, actually for all of us to be happy. It is just something she talks about all the time. Which is kind of funny because she is miss "mood swing child" as it is. Anyhow, if Logan is sad and then becomes happy she says, "Logan is happy now." I do love it though, it does remind me to be happy and to remember that this life is only but for a moment.


So our moment in the month of March was a good one. I am so thankful for all my blessings that are right under my nose and I often forget that those are my most precious ones.
