Sam
Kaela Faye

When I come home from work and Joe hugs me
letters from Lani
My friends at work
When I hit commission
the Twilight movies
playing boardgames with Joe
My family
hot showers with the lights off
crawling into bed underneath 3 big quilts
talking
listening to classical music
Show tunes Saturday night (on the radio)
My kids giving me kisses
listening to my kids say their prayers
eating chocolate with Megan and Lani
fitting into my size 10 jeans
making Joe laugh
riding horses
hand written letters
the gospel
when Annabelle says night night
When Kaela tells me that I am 'Her best mom'
When Sam yells 'I love you' when he's walking into school
watching a movie at night after a long day at work
hearing my kids laugh
seeing Joe be a dad
talking to Kaira and Jessica on the phone
labor and delivery(really, I love it)
being in the mountains
long car drives, just for the heck of it
buying clothes
.........I am sure there is more. Give me a day and I will think of another list:):)

Two of the most important things that I have learned
1.Sometimes you have to walk through shit to find the better you on the other side of that said shit. No one can do it for you. And sometimes the stress and sadness can be suffocating.
But you can either hold on to what you know, and are safe with so tight that it just begins to slip, like sand, through your desperate fingers,
or you can grow a pair of balls
and
be strong in the face of the unknown.
Brave in the moment when you accept that some things are never going to be the same again,
remorseful when you're the one who has caused the damage
forgiving when someone else damages you
and then trust again when you really love the person that just walked through their own shit too.
Cause lets face it we are all imperfect.
But I think its pretty amazing when we can look at another person,
with all of their imperfections and love them so perfectly.
2.I have also learned that what you want and what is really going to happen are two completely different things entirely.
Ohhhhh, wait....there is a third thing....
3.I have also learned that as we each stand knee deep in our own said shit that we can actually be grateful for all of it.
Weird, I know.
I will stop swearing now.
P.S. There is actually a lot more that I have learned, but I will save those for another day. And don't worry, I will figure out a different swear word to use then.

I want my Body back
I hate the part of pregnancy where I can look in the mirror and still see the sexy, svelte thing that I normally am...I'll pause for a moment, cause that's right people... I said sexy and svelte.
But of course no one else does. They just see this Oompa Loompa waddling their way.
The toy Wibble Wobble comes to mind.
*Oh Sigh*

I heard this song 'SkyScraper' the other day. First the singer Demi Levoto has a gorgeous voice, and second the lyrics are amazing.
It got me thinking about how in all of our lives we each go through things that to us privately is 'the worst situation'.
These 'worst situations', I have learned, come from everywhere. From other people, jobs, life, loss and a lot of times from our own selves.
It amazes me though, how out of these situations, that makes one grow beyond what we thought ourselves capable of, that the biggest blessings and good things seem to eventually come pouring out.
I have been blessed with an amazing husband who, even through me not always being the best wife, has always been there for me, and kids who keep me smiling and happy everyday.

First Family Pictures
I think that we are a pretty cute family.
I would like to point out that it took me a week of picking out clothes for everyone, minus Joe, that would match without actually matching.
then with about 7 minutes, not kidding, really...with barely 7 minutes that morning before we had to go Joe asked what colors we were wearing so that he could match.
He took one look at the clothes that I had picked, shook his head, and then completely re-dressed us all. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Thank you Joe for making us all look this good.
