Today has been a good day, I am so Thankful for Sunday's, being able to go to church and feel of the spirit. Sunday's are usually crazy busy days but today has been a bit quiet,not a usual thing, let me explain a typical Sunday. Wake up time 7am, mom rushes to shower and be ready before the boys wake up (if I'm lucky) try to get something to eat, wake boys, and feed them, by this time it is almost 8am, Caleb just wants to play, so eating is a game, throwing food everywhere, (Nathaniel laughing a Caleb, which makes him throw more.) Next I'm pushing Nathaniel to go and shower, and of course he drags his feet, finally he gets in the shower, I remind him please be quick, but to a nine year old quick isn't very quick, Nathaniel's singing in the shower, after about 15-20Min's , I have to go in and turn the shower off and say time to get out, he moans a little. In the mean time I am getting Caleb ready, but he is just waking up and really doesn't want to get dressed, he decides to run behind the couch, I can't grab him, he just laughs and gives me a big smile, after five Min's. he comes out, we get him dressed and by this time it is almost 9am, time to be at church. We rush out to the car, and make it to church just in time. Sacrament meeting is the funnest, Caleb is really learning to talk, all durning the meeting he is yelling to his cousins, Josh and Parker. Then Nathaniel starts thinking that he needs make sure Caleb is being quiet, well Caleb doesn't think that is cool, so as Nathaniel turns around, and bends over Caleb bites Nathaniel's back (I couldn't believe it, but at the same time I was laughing, which I shouldn't have!) Nathaniel is crying and laughing at the same time, and I am trying to explain that we shouldn't bite. Then the person in front of us gives Caleb a toy to play with, (a rubber duckie ) Caleb also has learned to throw, so two seconds after he gets the toy he throws it, the man five rows behind us gets whacked in the head. I hear a bunch of people chuckling, and I am so embarrassed, I grab the duck and apologize. Finally Sacrament is over, we made it through barely. lol Now it is time to go to Nursery, let me add, Caleb doesn't like nursery, but we keep trying to get him to adjust, we walk in and the first thing he does is cling to me, he won't let me go, so we head to Y.W. where Caleb actually sits on my lap and just listens. By the end of church he is calm and ready for a nap. Yeah... We come home and rest for a few minutes, then lunch and off to meetings. I love Sundays they are so eventful. On occasion it is relaxing and I am able to go away with feeling the spirit, but with a toddler who is very active, more times than not it is full of excitement!! I have learned to laugh a lot! I love my boys so much they make life adventurous.
I know that I always say how much I love my family, they mean the world to me. Yesterday I was very sick, my mom happened to be here because she had worked the night before, she stayed here and helped me all day, I was in bed most of the day, she took care my boys, and me. I'm thankful for my mom, and all that she does for me, she is such an example to me and I Love her so very much. Thank you mom!!!!!
I am thankful for James, he is the love of my life, although he doesn't feel good most days, he doesn't complain, he keeps going, he is a good father and he loves our boys so much.
I am thankful for the blue skies and warmer weather, the grass is green, the trees are beautiful, the birds are chirping, everything has come alive.
I am thankful for Laughter, I believe that if we laugh more life would be less stressful, try to enjoy the little things because you never know what tomorrow will bring, make each moment special!
