A Season of Giving
I was out shopping with my boys and had just left a store and we were getting back into the car when,this man comes up behind me and asks for money. Now this is one of the things that scares me the most, a man coming up to me when I am so venerable, I wish they would at lest Wait for me to get my kids and bags in the car. any way it freaked me out so I hurried and said no and jumped in the car with my kids and locked the door. Then Trezden says " that man is sad? ... He needs some money?.... You have money mommy?." by then I had calmed down and was feeling bad for turning him away but the words of my three year old made me drive over to where he was and give him some money. And as we drove away, Trezden said "Thank you Mommy" I was truly feeling the spirit of the season at that moment and felt grateful for the little boy who reminded me what its all about.
"Who's birthday is today?"
For my Birthday we went as a family to the aquarium in Denver. it was lots of fun! (here are some Pictures) I know it seems like all we do is Birthday parting around here Trezden keeps asking "who Birthday is today?" Tis' the season for our family! Josh was September 16th My Dad was September 24th Nate and I had our Anniversary on September 25th Trezden's Birthday was November
3rd My brother Pierce was November 14th Wrayla November 18 I was November 23, Spencer's will be December 21 and Nate is January 24th and our little girl will be born some time between the end of December and the first of January. throw Thanks Giving and Christmas in there and all we do is party! Lets just hope the money lasts! I swear my next child will be a summer or spring baby! Luckily today is no ones birthday at my house but if its yours... We hope its a great one!

What do YOU want for Christmas?
This is the first year that Trezden is getting excited about Christmas and telling me EVERYTHING he wants. He will be watching cartoons and a food commercial will come on and he will say "Mom I want that snack for Christmas" so, as you see he truly is telling me EVERYTHING he wants! well one day I was trying to get the computer turned on, and our computer is hooked to the t.v. anyway I was busy trying to figure things out, not even looking at what was on the t.v. when all of the sudden Trezden said " I want that for Christmas" so I looked over and to my surprise It was a commercial about lookalike dolls for the playgirls I think! any way I tried my hardest to change the Chanel. I found that moment both disturbing and funny!
so... I ask, what do YOU want for Christmas
so... I ask, what do YOU want for Christmas

The Prequel
There are a few stories I want to log even though they are not recent. I just want to have record of them.
(Guess who I love??) Nov.3
It was Trezden's Birthday so I decided to let it be his day, so we were out and about doing all the things he wanted to do. when from the back seat Trezden says something but I did not quite hear him so I made an umm sound or something. Well Trezden being so patient like most kids are just repeated his question with his answer this time..." Mom guess who I love,... I love you!" my heart melted and I felt like the luckiest Mom in the world! I then replied " Trez, guess who I love?" and Trezden responded..."DADDY!"
I laughed and told him I loved him and Spencer too. but, I was left feeling very loved and grateful that my kids know that I love their daddy. I've heard that one of the best things you and your spouse can do for your kids is love each other. I do love my kid's daddy. I love him more than words can explain it may sound cliche but its true and I love my children too. I truly feel like I have been blessed with the greatest family.
(Birthday Prayers)
So Trezden's birthday was The 3rd of this month and he knew it was coming but he just could not stand the wait. My brother Josh had a birthday on September 16th and it seems like from that time on Trezden has been Birthday Mesmerized! he talks about Birthdays all the time and sings Happy Birthday at random moments especially when he sees any candle light or a balloon. There was a week there just before his Birthday that Trezden even started praying for his birthday to come. His prayers were heard Because he is now a wild 3 year old! We had his family Birthday party on his Birthday day. we went bowling. But because we had to wait for Daddy to get off work to go bowling, by the time we were done it was bed time. So the fallowing evening we had his Car cake ( which took my friend Kay and I 4 hours to make) and sang happy Birthday and such. Well the day fallowing that our friends the Beckstroms had returned from being out of town. and wanted to bring his birthday present over. and Would you believe it that the day after that our friend Cathy Jones was in town from Idaho and she too brought him a gift. So as you see his birthday turned out to be a week long event because then on Saturday we had his Ninja turtle party. so if you feel like having a great birthday, maybe you should pray for it and it could even last a whole week!
(Walking the halls) ~July 13th? 2008
It was Sunday and Spencer was not liking R.S. so I (to spare taking the spirit away from everyone in the room) Left and walked the halls. The halls are quiet at this time, because we are the last ward that meets each Sunday. the only other noise is usually other hall wanderers. So there we were wondering the halls.
It's moments like these that leave me as a mother wondering... "why did I take the time to get three wild kids all prepped for church if all I'm doing is wandering the halls!"
This is when I realized that Heavenly Father truly knows all of our thoughts, because as I was wandering the halls, looking at the paintings and thinking my soon to make me inactive thoughts, we came to the picture of Mary, Martha and the Savior. Now up to this point Spencer had shown no real interest in any of the paintings we would both just look and move on. But none of the pictures until this point had Christ in them either. But as we got to this particular painting I just happened to be watching Spencer's face and I could tell he was surveying the two women faces then as he moved on and caught the Saviors face he immediately lit up and leaned forward. He tried to touch the Savior and started babbling. The Spirit was so strong at that moment! I brought tears to my eyes
I know that Spencer knew who the Savior was and was happy to see Him. I then felt very blessed that I had taken the time to come to church to wander the halls!
after church I showed Nate, first we looked at all the ones previous w/out the Savior in them and then as we got to this one, the same reaction. We are so lucky to be blessed with little ones who were just moments ago with our Savior. May I always be thankful for every moment even the hall wandering type.
Self help
Trezden came down the stairs and told me his eye hurt. I looked at it and then just kissed him and said "Sorry." he seemed satisfied. But,later he came down the stairs with a band aid over his eye. I laughed so hard! it's funny what a little band aid will fix.

A New Start
I am always grateful for new starts unless of course its starting a project again on the computer for the third time, because of little fingers pushing buttons!! or changing my kids clothes or mine for what seems to be the hundredth time because of some sort of mysterious funk. there are lots of new starts like that, that I have yet to be grateful for but my Mother tells me some day I will even miss moments like that, But until then I will remain grateful for new starts such as this.... Being encouraged to start a Blog. I have for years wanted to start keeping track of memories and all the funny things my kids say and do. But, for some reason a journal just wasn't working. Maybe its all the changing of clothes and diapers that gets in the way well, what ever it is I hope keeping this Blog will be a way for me to keep a record of all the crazy moments so that someday I can look back on them and be (like my mom said) grateful for all the madness. I believe Memories are some of our greatest treasures, (that is if they are good ones .) I want to be able to make good memories with the ones I love and share them with you. and keep them for my children to read some day too. I hope you enjoy! If nothing else maybe my crazy life will make you more grateful for yours.
