New calling

So I am in Young Womens now. I'm so excited. I can't wait to be a part in these girls lives and give them the guidance and love that will help them lead a good life. I want to just jump into everything and start running. I have to admit that I am nervous because its all new to me but I'm sure I will have help along the way. FUN!!!

Dare Devil

My little boy is a Dare Devil! It is finally nice outside so of course Kamden doesn't want to be inside. He has taken off on his bike and has crashed and burned. 

We have some dirt jumps that our neighborhood kids have made. Kamden had decided that he was going to jump them. He did really good a couple of times but like all fun things they come to an end. He took off the jump again and face planted. My poor boy was all bloody and all the neighborhood boys who were at the jump came running down to the house to let me know that kamo had fallen and is bleeding. I ran down there and found him at the bottom of this hill. His bike was broken and my little boy had blood all over his face, hands, and shirt. He was crying. As a mother I panicked. You never want to see your child covered in blood crying hysterically. His eyes were half shut and he was staggering towards me with his arms stretched out. I just wanted to cry with him. His nose had swelled for two days after this but nothing was broken. He needed good cuddling and a bath. 

It breaks my heart to see my kids hurt. I feel so helpless. 

I'm sure this won't be the last of his crazy attempts or hurt filled cries. Heaven help me.

In A Funk.

I'm usually a busy body who loves to be out and about. You would think I really would be out doors considering the weather has been warm and welcoming. For some reason I having a hard time getting out of bed, let alone out of the house. 

I've been reading alot lately which has explained why I've been in the house more but thats not the only thing. I've been cooking dinners alot more lately. WOW...now that is something considering I was down to cooking MAYBE twice a week. I'm feeling very home and family. Is that even a feeling? 

Today I played with Kamden Chutes and Ladders. It was so cute watching him do the victory dance weather he won or not. After the victory dance he would run and jump right on me so that I could give me a big bear hug. Through his laughter he would say,"I love you mom!" We played over and over again just so that I could here him so those words again and watch him do the victory dance. 

Makayla lost her 2nd tooth on Sunday. I can now say that the tooth fairy did alot better this time around. I figure for each tooth she could get a dollar. So this time she received two dollars. When she woke up the morning it was so funny. She came running into my room and said "mommy look the tooth fairy gave me two dollars.....why?" "I thought I was only going to get one dollar but she gave me two?" I kinda thought it was funny since I could have kept it at a dollar and she would have been happy with that but now that she got two it became confusing. All because I felt like I was a cheap tooth fairy. I had to explain to her that for every tooth she looses she will get that many dollars. She was pretty excited and wanted to count all of her teeth so that she would know how much money she would be getting. What have I gotten myself into.

Blushes

Kamden has this friend in Preschool that just loves him. When he cried and had to be taken out of the Christmas program this little girl friend made him a "hope you feel better" card. When we saw her at school she would tell Kamden and I that we needed to make sure that we went to her house to pick up the card. When he would cry because she he didn't want to go to class because its a substitute teacher this little girl would try to make him feel better and tell him it will be alright because the teacher is nice. Every time this little girl sees Kamden in Primary she makes it a point to say hi to him. When she tries to talk to him he blushes and becomes really shy.

 

I ran into this little girl yesterday at a store and her mom said that they were just talking about Kamden. Her daughter was mentioning that Kamden was sad again in school and that she wanted to give him a hug to make him feel better. This little girl is the sweetest thing ever. I asked her mom if Zion would like to come over and play today after school. Zion started blushing and of course said she would. We ran into them again at dinner. Kamden went over to there table and formally asked Zion if she wanted to come over and play today. Kamden was beet red when he asked. It was sooo cute. When she answered he quickly ran away and hide. I just sat there and laughed. Its so sweet how kids are. 

They played today at the house and played really well together. He shared everything with her and her with him. It seems like there two peas in a pod.

So fun!

Valentines Dance

So Daryle is not a dancer and I am. For the past 3 years I have wanted to go to the Stake Valentines dance and every year I had either gotten sick or I was huge and pregnant. So this year I was neither so I dragged Daryle out to the dance. WOW..was it a flash back. I felt like I was at my church high school dances all over again except for everyone was dancing really goofy and there was really good desserts. 

Daryle was being a really good sport. He was my support, something to hold on to while dancing. It was nice dancing with him on the slow dances. Being close and interacting with eachother without doing the nitty gritty. Even though the music was horendous I had so much fun. People watching and slow dancing made the night a blast. 

Will I go back next year? Probably not but hey now I know that I hadn't missed out of much the previous years. 

Happy Birthday Makayla

We did a little family birthday party for her. She had her friend Whitney over to enjoy her brownie cupcakes with her. We had planned on them decorating the cupcakes into butterflies but all they wanted to do was blow out the candles and eat the brownies. 

Makayla had fun. We were able to have her grandparents watch her open her presents and see how much fun she was having on her 6th birthday.

Wedding Bliss

I was able to go to California this past weekend to watch my brother marry his girlfriend of 5 years. I always thought that she would be the one for him. I'm excited that I have another sister in law. 

Kaleo looked so happy and overwhelmed at the same time. The weather was beautiful. I was able to spend time with my brother Jesse and his wife and get to know her better. His kids are so cute and full of energy. 

Coming home to snow and cold weather has been very difficult but having my kids with me here and happy so see me has made all the difference.
