"I Think So"

I had to post about the funniest thing Devin said to me!! So the other night driving home I was saying to him "mommy loves you". Then he was saying back "love you too". So after a minute or two of silence I asked him "Do you love mommy"? His reply was "I think so"! Oh my gosh I started laughing so hard and could not believe that was his answer. I didn't teach him that phrase, and how did he know to answer my question that way. All I know is that I wanted to write this down so I didn't forget. It truly is amazing what your kids observe you do even when you think they aren't looking or oh they wont get that!! Well news flash they DO. I have decided that our kids are a product of what we are. So I want to make sure that I can be the best example I possibly can be to my kids! They mean the world to me and they make me want to do such good things :)

"Brotherly Love"

So this picture melted my heart!! I love seeing my two boys together and knowing what best buddies they will be. Devin and Addison are so adorable together now, and I know they will be the same towards Dayton. I don't care if people think Chris and I are crazy for having 3 kids under 3 years old! I absolutely love it and quite frankly haven't found it to be that hard. Our kids have found a friend for life in eachother by being so close in age. This picture says it all and makes everything we have done worth it. Dev just recently wanted to start holding dayton. He just stares at him and says "Hi brother Dayton" He will pat him and say "shh shh shh" trying to keep him calm. Just goes to show how smart a 2 year old is. He only could have picked that up by simply watching how I am with Dayton. I love these two precious boys!!

"Loving Young Women's"

So I got a new calling just recently in church! I got called to be a miamaid advisor in young women's. I was really excited to take on this calling. I have a feeling these girls will teach me much more than I will teach them!! That is the great part about getting to work with the youth, they remind you of what it is like to be 14 and 15 again. It really is very eye opening to see what young teenagers face now days. It really scares me to think what things will be like in 12 years from now when my kids will be teenagers. I have my first lesson this sunday and can't wait to teach it!! Things like getting up in front of people doesn't make me nervous or bother me, I just get encouraged by the challenge! Well I will keep you updated on how my first lesson goes until then goodnight :)
