..."Because She is a Mother"...

Tonight I came across this talk by Elder Jeffrey R Holland after reading a quote on a friend's blog. (Thanks Taryn :) ) I have been a little emotional and bummed tonight since Krew had another surgery again today. Even though it went really good and he is making good improvement, I just still have those days when I wish He didn't have to go through all of this. I know I came across that quote on her blog for a reason tonight. I looked up the talk where the quote came from and thought I would share it with all of you. I am so grateful and proud to be Krew's mom and for the blessings of Motherhood! And I am also grateful for all the great examples I have of Mother's in my life including all of you! What an honor it is to be a Mother!!

As of late...

We have been staying pretty busy lately! We are SO excited for our home to be done soon! It shouldn't be too much longer. It's at such a fun stage right now because everything is finally coming together. We got our cabinets and countertops put in this past week and the flooring in the bathrooms and laundry room. Today our light fixtures got put in and now we are just waiting for the wood floors and carpet. I'm so proud of Tyson and all of his hard work! He has learned so much and has put forth all of his time and effort so that we can  enjoy and have our own home! Love you babe ;)   

Krew and I have so much fun together everyday! I never knew how hard being a stay at home mom would be! It takes a lot more energy than I ever thought. And I wouldn't trade it for anything! I feel so blessed that I am able to stay at home with him. He is quite the character! It seems like everyday he is doing something new. 

At 14 months he:

-puts keys in the door knobs to try and lock/unlock them

-helps me clean and wipe up all of his messes

-loves to play his daddies guitar and do anything else his daddy does

-turns off the tv when mommy is watching it

-hides all of his pacifiers

-throws things out of his crib so he can say "awe ohh"

-waves to people in the grocery store and while driving in the car

-tries to plug things into the walls

-likes to dance

-still loves the broom

-still hates the vacuum

-says momma, dadda, bye bye, nigh nigh, yum num, awe ohh, and hi

-likes to play peek-a-boo and walk around the room with buckets over his head

-still loves to snuggle

We sure love you Mr. Krew!!
