So Proud!

Last Sunday the girls both had their first turn to particpate in Primary opening exercises. Olivia did the prayer and Rachel gave the scripture. I know it is a simple thing but I was so proud of them and so excited watching them up there and their excitement for doing it.

Livy gave the opening prayer all by herself. I didn't help with a word. It was awesome. She did mention she was thankful for her toys for the first time so that made me chuckle inside a bit but she did awesome thanking Heavenly Father for her blessings too. I am so proud of you Livy! You are such a sweet independent little girl!

Rachel had the scriptures. She read 1 Nephi 22:2. She was so brave and spoke loud and clear so everyone could hear her. She had no hesitation and was so happy sitting and holding her scriptures as she waited for her turn. You did so great Rachel! I am so happy you enjoyed doing it and are excited about the scriptures. I love you so much sweetie!

Colt wanted in on the picture taking too!

Livy has inherited my love of chocolate. In this picture as you can see there was only a small piece chocolate cake left and she just couldn't wait. This is about 7 am and that is what she wanted for breakfast. She tried to get it herself and dropped it on the floor. The icing got stuck on the floor but she still got the cake part! We don't usually eat cake for breakfast around here, or at least I don't let the kids see me if I do, but I figured was it worth the tears? She would just eat it later so whats the difference.

Nap time with dad.

Messy boy. He thinks he is just so big and can do anything the girls can do. He tries to keep up with everything they do. He is good at keep away. If he steals something of theirs they still can't manage to get it back. They say he is too fast! He hides it behind his back and moves his hand all around pretty quick continually changing positions so they can't get it. It is pretty funny.

But back to the point, this morning we were painting. I gave in and let him do it, and of course it was messy but I expected that. This was after the big clean up. He still had some on him and he did his hair so nicely don't you think? It stayed like that until bath time that night. But he sure was happy!

Baby update. This is a picture at 26 weeks (one week ago). I feel gigantic and it is just hard to move around, mostly bending over is the problem. And with Colt who throws stuff on the floor constantly I am always bending over. Other that that things are good. So grateful and glad to report baby looks good and everything checks out good so far. Measuring two weeks ahead but that is normal for me. Even though it is getting hard and uncomfortable it is so worth it. And I can't complain because for the most part I feel ok which I know is such a blessing because I know some people have terrible pregnancies. Everytime I look at my kids I still can't believe I am their mom. For some reason it is just crazy to me and hard to wrap my head around. But I know I am so blessed and so grateful to have them and to have the opportunity to be their mom. They are so awesome and I just love them and pray each day that I can know what to do for them. I am also so grateful that Heavnly Father gave little kids the ability to forgive pretty much instantly and a million times over. I am so grateful for that and that they still love me even after every time I get mad. I understand why we are to become like little children!
