Sink or Swim

Time is going by far to quickly. There are so many times that I feel like it's either sink or swim. So...it's time for me to swim. I need to remember all the reasons I love being a mom. I don't want to forget all the little things like...The late night feedings where it is only me and Wyatt. When he's done nursing and he has milk drool running down his face and is punch drunk. Where I am the only one that can comfort him. (Sometimes that is so overwhelming but at the same time so reassuring. At least one of my kids still needs me!) The smell of him after he just had a bath. The way he looks at me like I'm his whole world and flashes his beautiful smile. The sound of Brylee's voice when she first wakes up and demands chocat mik! How she'll grab my face and turn it to where she is just to tell me she loves me. When I'm leaving the girls room at night and as I'm closing the door I hear Raimee tell me "Thanks for being the best mommy in da ho wold." Watching Kelbee get out of the car every morning to go to school and knowing that she is making good choices. To say the least-this has been quite the adjustment, having four kids. But every day I'm blessed to see the hand of Heavenly Father in my life. Last Wednesday was Todd's first day back to work. I was so overwhelmed doing the whole nightly routine by myself and without them even knowing that - I had three wonderful women in my ward stop by my house. One to give me a warm loaf of banana bread and to see how I was. Another to give me a present for Wyatt and to see how I was. And the the other to bring me cupcakes and to see how I was. After the kids were all in bed that night I sat there thinking about all of Heavenly Father's tender mercies. I have been given such wonderful friends and family. Thank you everyone for all your help in keeping me afloat!!

1st Photo Shoot

We had these pictures done when he was nine days old. He peed and pooped all over Todd-I was so glad it wasn't me! That night I went to look on the blog to see if Gail had happened to post any pictures and I was blown away. Kelbee was standing right next to me and I started to laugh and I said "I look hot!" She got this disgusted tone in her voice and said, "That's you? That doesn't even look like you!" It's amazing what photoshop can do!
