YES, WE REALLY DO HAVE EIGHT!

YES, We Really Do Have Eight!

I love babies. When my babies hit their first birthday, I long once again for that tiny helpless little person that smells like baby powder and doesn't squirm away when you're staring at his beautiful little face. Now don't get me wrong. I love the other stages too. I laugh out loud when I hear the jibber jabber of his first words (Jackson). I giggle when I see one dance hysterically when she hears a Justin Bieber song (Bekkah). I beam with pride when she puts gospel principals into action as she prepares for her upcomming baptism (Emily). I am amazed over and over as he accepts and conquers challenges far beyond his years (Ammon). I burst with pride as I watch his determination and drive in all that he sets his mind to (Zane). I melt when I see the empathy, and concern she has for others (Mckenzie). I have to catch my breath when I see him snuggle with his baby brother (Zachary). I am amazed as I read his letters from his mission (Tres). I guess I just love it all. And this is why I have, despite my horrible pregnancies, we have eight beautiful, talented, amazing, wonderful children!

THE MEANEST MOM!

I have to admit that the first time one of my children called me "the meanest mom", I was crushed. Now, I've been called mean so many times, it doesn't have that same devastating blow. Take today for instance, my 5 year old asked for a cookie and I said no (she'd already had 3). She told me I was the meanest mom ever and that she was running away. I told her I'd be sad if she left, but if that's what she felt she needed to do, go ahead (but be sure not to go out of the cul-de-sac.) She slammed her door to go pack. A few minutes later she came out in tears with suitcase in hand and said, "Will you come visit me?" After a good laugh, we sat down and shared an only slightly healthier bag of chips.
