Kids

Kids--they grow to fast

Life has seemed a little short lately.  

The kids are growing up fast

and I feel like I have a long way to go as a Mother.

I went to the Temple and three things went through my head:

Be Kind, Be Patient, and Endure to the End. 

I've needed this lately. 

But when I tuck the kids in bed and kiss them good night I am so grateful to be their Mother. 

They are precious souls and good kids.  

They are fun, loving, and full of life.

They make our Family beautiful.

And I love them forever!

Love, Mom

 This is Spencer reading the Narnia series to the kids. He's on the last book. The kids LOVE when he reads to them. It's the highlight to their day.  We just moved Reece into the guest bedroom and so now it's just Benson and Tanner.  It was a little sad to see them not all in the same room, but it's been good for Reece to have his own room and for Benson to be the big brother to Tanner.  Tanner also told me that all he wanted for his birthday was a big bed like Reece and Benson.  The first night we had them in their new rooms Spencer went down to check on the kids and Benson was reading a book to Tanner.  It confirmed that we made the right decision.  They are precious little kids! Brothers are the best!
