Nothing better than a Mom

Well for all of those who often check this blog, I thought I would let you know Emree started crawling!!!! YAAY!!!!! Most parents often sigh when their little one gets to this stage, but considering she is 10 months old, it is about time!! Her DR. said if she wasn't crawling by a year we would have to do some further "testing," so now I can stop worrying about that!! November 6 was the big day! She is very funny about it too, she will only crawl a couple of feet and then stop and clap for herself before she resumes on her way. Chas is recovering well and is so glad to be back at work. He repeatedly would ask me, "are they always this loud?" "can you make them be quiet?" I just laughed and said, "welcome to my world!!" Where everyday it's this loud, crazy, chaotic, messy and almost every other adjective you can think of, would describe a typical day in the life of motherhood!!
I just finished (I am in primary now, so I have an excuse to be a week behind right?) reading the lesson in the Spencer W. Kimball manual about motherhood and womanhood, it is awesome!! And makes me so proud to be a mother! It's one of those that you need to post around the house, so you can remember that we are doing the Lord's work, even though it seems mundane some days. For those who haven't read it yet, read it!! For those who have, read it again! My favorite quote, "Those who rock the cradle, rule the world!" So there!!! Can't argue with that!! I love being a MOM!

Thanks Teija for the reminder :) Glad all is well with Chas and yea for Emree. It is so cute when they are so proud of themselves. Brenna rolls all over--I found her today underneath the rocking chair where she had gotten stuck. It's funny because my other kids didn't use rolling as a means of transportation.

I can't believe Emree is 10 months old! I think it would be funny for the guys to have to take care of everything for a month and we got to leave for 8 or 9 hours every day! I'm not sure my poor kids would make it through the month. Actually Joe has said a ton of times that he doesn't want my job... :)

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
