Love to Love

Can I just say how much I love to love? Doesn't it feel so good to love and be loved? I love to give to people and make them feel good about themselves. Isn't that what we are all here for? I love to make people happy, especially my little family. When I get REALLY annoyed with my kids (about every other day) I just have to look at their sweet little faces and see their little dimples they inherited from Corty and just smile! Isn't it amazing that we can create lives? Well, with the help of God. It makes my heart smile to know that I am in a good spot in my life, even though life isn't always peachy and perfect, Mel, but I am happy with my life and my family. IT doesn't always have to be oh I am doing awesome with my job and I am making so much money and I am perfect and skinny and blah blah blah. It's about being happy and satisfied with yourself. You have to be happy with yourself to be happy and able to love others! I feel so blessed because I am happy with myself even though I am not perfect. That's what I love the most! My little flaws and everybody else's.

Can I also just say how much I love my family? I am going to talk about my parents here for a minute, not anything big and huge and wonderful to say, I just want them to know how much I love and appreciate them. I am here for them any time they need me and I know they are there for me anytime I need them. That's the beauty of family, whether you like it or not, it's a package deal- you are stuck with me no matter what! hee hee hee. No really, I am truly blessed to have such a loving mom dad, and brothers, who are all so adorable and handsome and hoping to help them fall in love some day.

Enough blubbering on, I feel like I have not made much sense with this post, but that's ok right?

Deal with it...

love ya ALL!!!!

Sound

Ky fell asleep while doing his breathing treatment (asthma)

All tuckered out...

I just love this kid! Take a look at his hand....

My kids have a thing with stuffed animals, check out the drool pile!

Isn't it amazing what sound can do to ones soul? Music can get you going, depending on what kind it is- pump you up or make you cry, laughter can only make one laugh and hearing children around USUALLY puts a smile on people's face. I just have to say how much I love SOUND! I love to hear my children's cute, sweet little voices that melt my soul, but at the same time I wish they didn't have a voice box so I didn't have to listen to them whine or cry or be silly saying goo goo and gaa gaa (seriously, what's up with 5 year olds trying to be 1 again?) So as much as I love hearing things, I also love to hear absolutely NOTHING!!!! My most favorite time of the night is when my children are sleeping. I have started a little thing every night (I used to a long time ago but gave up cause I just plain forgot) where I sneak in and look at the little sweeties while they sleep. Sometimes they are literally hanging half way off the bed, sometimes Ky guy's bumb is up in the air, kicked covers off or just the way we put them. I just love it. Especially when it's been a day when I can't wait to get them to bed cause they've driven me crazy, it makes me realize how sweet and innocent they really are and they just want to have fun in life and they don't care about the silly things adults do. I try to remind myself that every once in a while, to chill out, hang with the kiddos and relax! The house doesn't have to be spotless and the dishes don't have to be done. Just enjoy those sweet hearts cause they don't stay small/young forever and their sweet voices change so quickly, just enjoy THEIR SOUNDS!!!

If you don't, I urge every parent to look at their children nightly and you're worries will melt away (well maybe for a moment) and you'll be much happier with them the next morning!

Update

So I just have to update everyone on my sickie world - some areas have gotten better, some have not. Bryson now has a cold, not just any cold, coughing all the time, sounds like it's deep in his chest, says his throat hurts and as much as Bry whines and crys about other things, he doesn't really whine or cry about him hurting or not feeling good, so for him to say his throat hurts it must be painful. On Friday he also had diarrhea, got over that Sat. night and now Ky guy has it and I am hoping he had his last spell of that this afternoon. I am just hoping it's not rota cause that stuff is nasty, I don't think it is, I just want to vomit myself everytime I smell it... sorry to paint a pretty picture, but you moms out there know what I'm talking about right?! Does it ever get better?! (sigh....)
