October 15, 2012 - Motherhood

Today my favorite moment was when I read this...

"Motherhood is near to divinity.  It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed to mankind.  It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.  Because mothers are essential to God's great plan of happiness, their sacred work is opposed by Satan, who would destroy the family and demean the worth of women."  --Russell M. Nelson

It reminded me that my feelings of inadequacy don't come from my God who loves me.  They come from an opposition who wants to destroy my self worth and my family.

I'm so thankful for my opportunity to be a mother.  It is difficult in more ways than I imagined, but wonderful in even more.

July 10, 2012 - What to Expect Movie

Today my favorite moment was watching What to Expect When You're Expecting.  It was hilarious!  Seriously, the whole theater was laughing out loud!  Of course, it's especially funny if you have kids, but would still be funny if you don't have any.

I do with pushing part of the natural childbirth scene was more realistic, but I am a little biased when it comes to natural birth;)

January 19, 2012 - Oliver

Today my favorite moment was when I was giving Ollie kisses and he grabbed my face and kissed me back.  It was just so cute the way he put his hands on my face and played along with my lovin'.  He is such a happy baby and I am thankful everyday that he is my little guy!

October 8, 2011 - Woah

Today my favorite moment happened when we were eating Jaxon's birthday cake.  I was at the table giving Ollie some Cheerios since he can't have cake yet.  He recently realized that he could pat the Bumbo tray and the food bounces.  He was bouncing those Cheerios seriously high and I said, "Woah, woah, woah, Ollie."  He started cracking up!  So, then it became a game.  I kept saying woah and he just kept laughing!  It was adorable.  And Jaxon is such a laugher and started cracking up too so then it was double cute because nothing is better than hearing my babies laugh.  I haven't heard Ollie laugh that hard before.  It was adorable.  Man, I love being a mommy:)

August 18, 2011 - Noogie

Today my favorite moment was when Henry decided to give me a noogie.  I always tell the kids I don't like it when they touch my hair.  But, today when he decided to give me a noogie and say, "Noogen-stein!" I couldn't help but be so grateful for that little cutie bum!

May 9, 2011 - Henry

Today my favorite moment happened in the car after I helped Henry open his granola bar.  I handed it back to him and he asked, "Mommy, why you beary nice to me?"
