Recent Happenings

This morning the oldest two headed off to school again. They have been off for three and a half weeks. My house already feels empty without them. I did have some peace and quiet for a moment and still kind of do. That is why I am here recording some thoughts. One of the kids are still asleep so that is nice for me.

I tried working out this morning right as soon as I got up but I forgot how sick it makes me. So I had to stop and put it on hold until later in the day. It probably was better that way because then I wasn't in a rush to do the kids hair for school and so on and so forth.

Anway, onto something more entertaining. I have had some funny moments with my two little ones lately. So I must share.

Thursday when we were at a grocery store I was fighting with Tayden over who's the "Bomb dot com." Well, of course I had to let him win. Well, on our way home he all of a sudden pipped up and said, "Mom, I know, we can both be the Bomb dot com." Did that not just melt my heart or what!?!?! He was on some kind of kick that day because later we were throwing a little football back and forth to each other and after a while when I caught it I would signal for a touchdown. He got a little frustrated because he wanted to be a winner too. So, I said you catch the ball and you can be a winner. He kept catching the ball and all of a sudden he stops and said, "Mom, we both can be winners." As much as he can drive me crazy at times he sure can make me smile. I sure love that kid.

Onto my Clarissa. She surely is showing her personality and definitely acts like a girl in many different ways. What I love is that everytime Corey and I give each other a hug and kiss she has to come over and we have to pick her up so she can get in on the action too. We sometimes tease the kids because Tayden HATES it when we do that and he comes and pulls us apart. Braxton and Sammy just gag and roll their eyes or they scream. Last night Clarissa spotted us smooching and ran over. We picked her up and held her and gave her tons of smooches. We stopped and all of a sudden she grabs my ear and Corey's face and turns us to each other to make us kiss. It was the funniest thing. We would stop for a second and talk to her and she would do it again. She really cracks me up.

I love my kids so much. There are hard times with them but I wouldn't trade any single one of them for anything. I was so blessed with such beautiful children. I can only thank my Heavenly Father for such blessings.
