Long time no post...

Lately I've just been too lazy to blog, but I think that should all change.

In this blog I'm wanting to tell you how sweet my children are to me and just how lucky I am to have them.

Last night I wasn't feeling very good and Jaidyn brought me his special blanket and a pillow so I could be more comfortable on the
couch. He gave me "feel better kisses" and said that I'd be alright. He is my little man for sure. Loves to take care of me every day as well as wanting to help cook. He asks mommy when is it my turn to cook by myself? I'm hoping to teach him to cook so he can make his future wife very happy by cooking sometimes. My Marc doesn't do that for me, hehe.... Jaidyn is so sensitive to others and their needs. He's always happy to get Hannah and Shaylee drinks or treats when he gets one. I love my little man and really happy to have him in my home.





Hannah likes to stop what she's doing and come and give me a hug and say I love you mommy. I love those little moments to connect with her. She is so brilliant! Yesterday we made the goal to count to 100 all by herself and after she did that we'd go get some ice cream. Well she started practicing on her own and got to 40 with out help; when she hit 49 I asked what comes after 4 and she answered 50! Then she counted to 59 and all I had to do is ask her again what comes after 5. We kept going until she said 99, looked at me and said 100!!! I think we'll have it down by the end of the week if not by Monday. She's such a little helper and loves to help load and unload the dishwasher. She always says it goes faster when you have help! So sweet, I love her to bits.




Shaylee is my sweet little niece living with us. She is quite the ray of sunshine and is very loving. She is an amazing cleaner and loves to clean the bathroom sink for me all the time. I catch her in the bathroom daily cleaning the sink for me. It's so small of an act but one of the sweetest daily things she does for me. She loves to give little kisses when she can and loves to tickle my arm which I love her doing. She's a wonderful example of listening for my kids. She's always the first one to get up and do something I ask to have done and the others quickly follow her lead wether it's cleaning the bedroom or livingroom. She's going to be quite the organizer some day. I love having her in my home and seeing her play with Hannah and Jaidyn so well. They're all the best of friends.

As you can see, I'm extremely lucky to have such wonderful children in my home. They help me daily to become a better mother because they are so good to me.
