Clarification needed...

I must clarify that I give Beck a plastic knife, he likes to cut his own food. I save the butcher knives for the 1 year old! :)

Bubba's Birthday and Beck's last day!

Since Kalan was here we celebrated his 22nd birthday early (it's not until Tuesday) last night at my house. We had ice cream cake and his favorite Dijornos pizza. (I know, I totally spelled that wrong) I can't believe that he's 22, that makes me pretty old now. Or at least feel older now. He's always been the youngest and just a little guy and now he's all grown up and entering the "real world."

Today was Beck's last day of Parent/Tot Spanish class. Although we missed a lot of classes and he didn't always participate he had a lot of fun and got better towards the end of the year. I think that he also won the title as the class bully. He loves glue and scissors and painting. Oh how he loves painting. The blocks with the different colored windows in them are also his favorites. He is always peeking through one and saying, "hi mom." These last pictures are of him receiving his dilpoma from his teacher Maestra Jasmine. Although he doesn't talk a whole lot anyways. He is getting better at repeating what I say. When I hand him a knife and say cuchillo, he mumbles some gibberish like choochaka or something, but at least he is getting the idea. He does pretty well at understanding a few simple phrases in Spanish like "where are your eyes? nose, mouth, ears, hair," and we have been working on knees and toes. He will also go get his shoes when I ask him to in Spanish. I have been trying to speak to him more and more in this second language, but it is hard to keep up with it and I get intimidated easily. I know that he's only 2 and this wasn't really "school" like a school bus and everything, but I am so proud of him and I think that these years are important as he learns how to play in a group and practice sharing and being with these other kids, I know has helped his language skills. Hopefully he catches onto this Spanish thing because I really do feel that it is important and I hope that I can continue in helping him and Paisley to learn as much as they can.

Summer!

I planted a bunch of flowers again yesterday, next to the sidewalk and I can't wait until they get nice and big! I still only have my tomato plants planted for my garden, hopefully I can get the rest done soon, it is already pretty late, but I guess I might as well try! We have been working so hard on the lawn. Stephen will be gone this weekend on a Memorial bike ride for Jacksen, and I have the Kindergarten graduation, so yet again, not much will get done, but hopefully soon! :)

I wanted to post some pics from boating 2 years ago because I can't wait to go boating again! I don't really like the water, but i love to ride in a boat! Paisley has already ridden on a boat in Mexico, but it will still be fun to take her out. And Beck really loves it! Hopefully he won't be as afraid of the water as I am. Ths pic is of my black eye(s) from last year tubing. Let's just say I kept saying "faster" and Stephen obeys what I say. :) haha!

Kalan is up here visiting before he takes off for Seattle for his internship. I am very excited AND scared for him. It's like, "WHAM!" little brother is entering the real world! Good luck to him and I can't wait to hear all about it.

Today Beck, Paisley, and I joined Hanna at her Farm Day for school. She's so cute all growing up and hanging out with her friends at school. She's come a long way since her chubby cheeks when she was a baby. We had to leave early because Paisley was getting hungry and Beck DID NOT want to leave, but I told him that we had to go see "bubba" (Kalan) and he stopped crying and was like, "go Bubba car, me go." haha! Now they are downstairs yelling at each other. :)

Beck's Tear Duct Surgery

Oh my goodness! Is it over? Is it gone?

My mother-in-law, Bless her big giant heart, came and picked me and my kiddos up at 5:30 AM and we took off to Spokane for Beck's eye surgery. It's like tubes in the ears except they put them in the corners of his eyes. He is such a trooper and we were actually out of there and headed home by 9:30 this morning. It broke my heart when they took him back and I had to stop at the door and he was saying, "no, mommy no bye bye!" Then about 40 minutes later I can hear him screaming in the back room and they came and got me. They put him out with some gas and then take the gas away and he wakes right up! I hurried back there and rocked him for about 20 minutes, then we got dressed and headed home after some simple instructions; no showering, eye drop prescription, and yes the bloody nose and eyes are normal and will go away in the next day or two. The IV bugged him the most and then when they finally took that out the bloody nose was quite annoying to him. He hates when his nose is runny, so you can imagine how he feels with blood coming out of it. Poor guy! He was much happier after Grandma Ann started his movie in the car on the way home and after he got an ice cream cone for breakfast. After he had calmed down and we were headed out he kept asking for his cousin Alizah and he wanted to go and see her, that's who he's talking to on the phone. (My cell phone that falls into 2 pieces if you are not careful, but somehow still works! Even if you can't see the screen. I just have to be really careful in the number I am dialing and if I don't have the number memorized, then I can't call, so that may be why I haven't called most people in a few days!) My poor baby boy, everyone was so nice there, but I just hope that he never has to go through any of this again. Although we do have to go back in 2 weeks for an evaluation.

We miss you Jack. You'll never believe what's happening on Lost, but I guess you probably already know. :)

You know you're a mother when...

I have been thinking about Mother's Day a lot lately. I know that it already passed and I got a very special day because we blessed Paisley on Mother's Day, but I forgot to mention all my wonderful mommies out there. My own mother for raising me, my mother-in-law for raising a wonderful son who I got to marry, my grandmas, all the women and friends in my life. Yeah for mommies! So I decided to post this little thing I wrote a bit ago for my twin sister Jakobi when she was pregnant with her little boy Jax.

You know you’re a mother when you wake up in a rocking chair with a baby passed out in your arms and a kink in your neck and you don’t even remember getting there. You know you’re a mother when you find cheerios in your pockets, there are always dried boogies on the shoulder of your shirt, or a nursing pad slips out from under your shirt and falls on the ground in Wal-Mart and you quickly scurry away before anyone notices. You know you’re a mother when you leave the bottle boiling on the stove and run out the door to go yard saleing and you come back to a house filled with smoke and a rubber smell and your husband is still asleep in bed and you wonder if there is any way that you can save the half burnt bottle nipple that has melted into the pan, or you are picking up the mess under your toddlers’ high chair and for some odd reason you stick a piece of that toast in your mouth and before you realize what you have done, you swallow. You know you’re a mother when you have a huge diaper bag, carrying everything from nail clippers to a hot wheels car, yet you still insist on buying small cute purses to try and feel somewhat like a normal hip person. You know you’re a mother when you smell your kids bum to see if they are stinky and you don’t care if you’re at church and who’s watching. You know you're a Mother when someone says "alone time" and you imagine yourself folding laundry ALL BY YOURSELF eating Twinkies, drinking Mountain Dew and watching a recording of American Idol. You know you’re a mother when people say, “oh what a cute baby,” and you say, “I know.”

Yes, all of this has actually happened to me. :)

My mommy moment..........

It was the Christmas after Beck was born. He was about 10 months old. I used to collect snowglobes, I don't so much anymore, but I have kept a few of my favorites. There were 2 Christmas ones, probably given to me by my Grandma Mimi, sitting on the coffee table next to a book about the Polar Express. Beck wasn't walking yet, but holding on to furniture and cruising around. I happened to be in the other room getting a drink and he was in the front room walking along holding on to the couch. I heard a crash and breaking glass. I ran into the front room and scooped up Beck. I ripped off my socks because they now had glass in them and ran into the kitchen to look over every inch of his body. He had picked up one snowglobe and dropped it onto the other breaking them both. There was glass and that watery sparkly stuff all over the front room. And I DIDN'T CARE. I was only worried about my poor babies's feet and hands and eyes. I knew that he was fine, he wasn't even crying, no blood, no scratches, and still I left the watery glass mess in the living room to love and rock him until he wasn't spooked anymore. It took a while to clean it all up and I had glitter everywhere for a while. When Stephen came home he threw something away in the garbage and saw my broken snowglobes and was very apologetic and asked if I was okay and if I wanted another one. I just shrugged and told him I was glad that Beck didn't get hurt. He was shocked. Not shocked that I cared more for my son, but shocked that I was okay that my snowglobes were lying in shattered pieces in the garbage!

In case you can't tell, I am usually quite anal about my stuff, more anal about stuff that I consider very important to me and my well being. It's not that those snowglobes were not beautiful, they were, and I loved them, it's just that now that I am a mom, they are not as important to me anymore. My babies are my world. I still get upset if I get throwup stain on my favorite shirt, or Beck rips a photo album (which picutres are NOW my favorite things) but I have learned that I WILL NOT DIE and the WORLD WILL KEEP TURNING as long as my babies are happy and healthy, it's okay if a piece of art gets water on it from a spilled sippy cup or my favorite flower vase gets broken. It's their smiles and laughter and their tears and their love that means more to me than anything in the world, oh and their daddy of course! :)

Altoid Tin mini Albums

For all of those that have been asking! I finally got around to it! I couldn't figure out to add a link to my own page, so that you didn't have to search for the instructions and pictures. But now I added a link to the correct post right under Paisley's picture and all you have to do is click it and scroll down. Best of luck making these cute tins!

Potty training, 1st sandwiches, and Spring Fest

Beck likes to get my attention by telling me that he has to go "poo." Whenever I am on the computer or talking to somebody and he wants me to come and get him or play with him and stop what I am doing he says, "poo, poo, poo." I've figured out that he's pretty much lying to me, unless he says it really urgently. Then we race to the potty and he goes. He's not too good about catching when he needs to pee though, so we will slowly work on that. I bought him a potty chair about 4 months ago, but I knew that this would be a slow process, ecspecially with Paisley's arrival. He's been so interested in it for such a long time, I just figured we'd start trying. I'm really in no rush though and I'm sure that I'm probably going about it "all wrong," but when he's ready it will hopefully all fall into place.



Speaking of all this Big Boy stuff, Beck made his first sandwich today. We really don't eat a whole lot of Pb&J around here, probably because I forget that it's an option, but he wanted to make one, so I let him have at it. He didn't eat it of course, but had fun in the process.
















Thursday night we went over to Springfest and met Bethany, Jason, and Roman Jenks there. We ate some high priced food, got rained on a bit and we let the boys go on one ride. They had been standing in line for a while, but when they got up there neither were tall enough, so we moved onto the next one, luckily it was a car ride too. Beck sure likes his friend Roman. Their little sisters won't be far apart in age either. When the ride started Roman took his "I'm a cool dude position" with arm slung over the side and stayed there for the whole ride. This was his first carnival ride. Beck loved the ride, and didn't want to leave. But his dad is a cheapskate (so is his mom) and after paying $4for this car ride were not willing to shell out any more money for a wristband considering it was the only ride he was tall enough to ride by himself. After leaving the ride he was begging to go on the big ferris wheel. He wanted to go on the bigger rides so bad. He kept doing his "round and round" motion with his hands and saying "me, go" Yeah, talk about breaking his mama's heart. He just didn't understand that he wasn't big enough! Springfest goes through the rest of the weekend and we also have 2 performances with the gymnastics and the cheer. Hope we don't get rained on!

No more Boogie eye!!!!

I crossed my fingers as I typed the title to this post.... Ever since Beck was born he has had a plugged tear duct. I know that other babies are born with it and that people deal with it, but it drives me nuts! I couldn't wait to do the probe surgery. We had it done when he was 13 months. They had to put him under and insert a wire into his duct and unplug it. Yeah after all that, it didn't work. When he is not sick, it is just teary and sometimes goopy, but when he is sick, Watch out! Yucky! I have posted about it before, but I did take another picture the other day. Right before Paisley was born I drove Beck to Spokane to see a pediatric optomologist and he told me about a surgery I could do involving sacs in Beck's nose to drain the fluid, but he said it was my choice. I told him that he was the Dr and I wanted him to tell me whether I needed to do it or not. He said to bring him back when he was sick and then he'd say whether or not to go ahead with it. So the next time he got sick Paisley was born that day, so there goes that, but he got sick again last Thursday, so I called on Friday and the Dr was going out of town, so I called again on Monday and we headed down there on Tuesday. My wonderful Mother-in-law took me down there and I was so greatful because we got there and Beck had fallen asleep and Paisley was hungry and it was raining cats and dogs! I was actually going to attempt it myself? So his eyes had kind of cleared up with my luck, but I had taken pictures just in case, but i didn't need to show the pics to Dr Maher, he took one look at his irritaed, boogie eyes and said, "yep, let's do it." So then I hurried and scheduled the pre-op appt for that day and we just stayed there for a bit to fill out all the paper work and get some info. After driving to Spokane Valley too to do another pre-op at the place he was going to have the surgery we finally headed back to Moses Lake.

I felt so bad about being late to a friend's birthday party BBQ that her husband was BBQ'in for her (Jenica) but we made it in okay time and had some fun and we even got a picture of our play groupers. We have been doing this play group for like a year now. We meet at a park and let our kids run around while we chat. We've had some fun times!


This picture of Paisley I caught of her smiling at my friend Rischel at the BBQ. I think that she looks so much like her dad.



Today I taught the high school cheer class down at the gym. Beck has so much fun running around down there. I only have to teach the class for the next 2 weeks. It felt good to stretch out and such, I just didn't think that I'd be headed back to work (and 2 weeks is not bad, that's not what I'm saying) But the extra money sure is nice and Beck LOVES the gym, so it's hard to say no. The cheer coach for the High School just held Paisley the whole time and she fell asleep. We made it home by 4:30 and I got dinner made and Stephen actually got home to eat it while it was still hot and then he ran out the door to go to mutual. And I get to fold all these clothes before I get to go to bed! Fun stuff. Hopefully it won't take too long........

I have no Idea

I have no idea what my friend Jenn keeps talking about. She keeps saying stuff about getting t-peed last night and now after her trip to Wal-Mart there were balloons and Happy Birthday stuff all over her car. And then she texts me and some weird people all dressed up in weird outfits came and handed her some balloons and presents, one right after the other! All while she was enjoying lunch with her husband at his work at the hospital. What is she talking about? I have no idea I tell ya! Who are these crazy weirdos that are stalking her on her birthday? After she sent me the text about the balloons on her car I remembered that it was her birthday today! Oh my gosh I had completely forgotten!! I am such a bad friend.

This first picture is Paisley's first smile caught on camera. And it is a true first picture of a first smile because it's all blurry and you can't really tell that it's a smile anyways! I will keep trying. She must be grinning at the funny pictures that her mom found somewhere....

Post #100! Yeah!

Wow! I sure post a lot. :) And let's start it with Paisley's first boo-boo from her big brother Beck. I was changing her diaper on the floor in front of the couch and Beck was playing with his Lightning McQueen car and he pushed it off and it hit her right smack in the forehead. Yeah, she was NOT happy. Her little lip puckered out and the screams came on full force! Poor Beck wasn't really sure what he'd done and he took his Queen car and threw it in the corner and said, "no, Queen NO!" So really he was blaming it all on the car, and to his defense he didn't mean to push it on top of her, he just meant to push it off the couch! So I know that it is the first of many bumps and bruises from her brother, but we've got the first one recorded with a picture. (I know you can barley see it above her left eyebrow, but trust me, it's there, a little goose egg)

We went to tri-cities for nephew, Daniel's, 2nd birthday party and on the way back stopped by Grandpa Yorgesen's in Othello to say hi and I snapped some quick pictures. The first time he'd seen Paisley was at her blessing, ( He just came back from winter home in Arizona ) but he left before I could take any pictures. I like to think that Stephen and his grandpa look a lot a like and Stephen also likes to garden like his grandpa does.

The last picture is of Paisley's dress that I bought in Cancun, I think it's so cute! Her bow looks a little funky, but I guess she's a little funky! I put little onesie with sleeves on it underneath the dress because it's still a little cold, but actually on Saturday it was 103 degrees in the Tri-cities! Tomorrow I think that we are headed to Spokane for Beck's eye appt that he has to go to when he's sick, so the Dr can see his plugged up goopy yucky boogie eyes to see about doing some more surgery. Hopefully my sister-in-law Tiffanni can go with me or I really don't know what I'd do if Beck went running off and I was stuck nursing Paisley in the waiting room or something, or Heaven forbid have another episode like when he bit the nurse! Yikes! Wish me luck! (Paisley has a little goop in her eye today, I am praying that she doesn't have a plugged duct too, I don't want to go through this again! I know that many people do, but I DON'T WANT TO!)

Happy Sister Day!

Okay this is a holiday that I made up today because I wanted to post some pictures of me and my sisters. I talk to one or all of my sisters every day. When I am bored or I have been thrown up on or I got pulled over or lost my wallet the first people that I call are one of them. Stephen has a hard time understanding our relationship with one another because he thinks that the only thing that we talk about are complaints that we have with other people or co-workers or just the world in general. Like when the lady at Wal-Mart made me mop up the spilled pop when I was 38 weeks pregnant, you can bet that the first people that I called was one of them. And if one doesn't answer I just call the next one. I don't think that it has always been like this. I remember when Jakobi punched me ( because I was egging her on) and I chipped a tooth and got a HUGE fat lip or when we would tag around with Britni in her little black pickup, much to her dismay. But sometime after marriage and babies the phone calls started. None of us have the same cell phone plan, so you can imagine how many times Stephen has yelled at me for using all much minutes and much more. Kortni has 3 girls, Britni has 3 boys, I have a boy and a girl and Jakobi has a little boy and we call each other about every little thing. We call each other on the way to the Dr, when we are IN the Dr and After the Dr appt to see which kid has what sickness and then we can distribute advice on whether the Dr was right or not. :) I can only pray for Kalan's poor wife whoever she may be. At least Justin has a few years before his poor wife has to join our very expensive cell phone plan, OR be on the other end of it and we get to complain about her while using up all our cell minutes....

Apple Dumplings

I snuck on over to Megan's blog (Kortni's sister-in-law) and copied the recipe for the apple dumplings Kortni had made for Paisley's blessing last Sunday, so here it is! Thanks to Megan and the Pioneer Woman recipe book that she rants and raves about!


Apple Dumplings

2 Granny Smith apples
2 cans crescent rolls
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
cinnamon
1 small can Mountain Dew

Peel and core apples. Cut apples into 8 slices each. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in a 9 x 13 buttered pan. Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, and pour over apples. Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream, and spoon some of the sweet sauces from the pan over the top.

Beck and Paisley

Around the same age of 5 and 6 weeks. It's funny how I don't remember what Beck looked like as a baby. I just remember how he had lots of hair, but even looking at this picture, I forget that he had THAT much hair! I just wanted to see if they looked alike again. People keep saying, "wow, Paisley looks like you, " or "wow, Paisley looks just like Stephen." Some days she looks like one and somedays the other. Just seeing how much that Beck has changed makes me wonder what in the heck Paisley is going to look like. Today we have playgroup at the park and then I am going to teach Kindergarten. I will put Paisley in the sling and Beck goes to see his "Mimi." (sitter Tammy) It will be tough on him to figure out. He has 2 Mimi's, my grandma Mimi and Mimi his sitter and then Maimi Dawn, my mom. When my mom came to visit it took him a day or two to figure out that she wasn't sitter Mimi, she was Maimi. Poor kid.

Police station and Bubba's internship

Today was a pretty fun day. We met one of the preschool classes at the Police Station for a field trip. My little brother Kalan is still here, so he came too and him and I had some fun getting our "mug shots" taken and I even got in the back of the police car with Beck and Paisley. After the police station we walked to the park and I followed Beck around taking pictures and Kalan got tired and had to rest after he pushed the babies Piper and Beck on the swings for "hours." It started to rain on us a little bit, but that didn't stop the kids from playing.

Kalan got some great news today from an architecture(spelling?) firm based in Seattle... he got the internship he had interviewed for yesterday! They had sent him home with some homework of 5 things why he wanted to work there and today he e-mailed them his "homework" and 20 minutes later they called and asked him when he could start! Kortni and I had been chatting today about how we thought maybe he had aimed too high because he had no experience and we were really worried, (he had told us that the interview hadn't gone well) but look at him now! I really had no doubt against his skills, he really is quite talented, I was just so worried... And he doesn't help it by saying how awful all the interviews have gone! But it all worked out and now he is frantically looking for a place to live. So yet again, way to go Bubba!

Self Explanatory....

Paisley's Blessing

Paisley is a 5 weeks and 1 day and we decided to bless her on Mother's Day since my family would be in the area due to my little brother, Kalan's, graduation from the University of Idaho. It was a good day filled with lots of friends and family. I felt a bit rushed and before I knew it it was 10:00 AM and none of us had showered or gotten even close to ready to be to church in 45 minutes, but we all made it! Lots of help from family and friends made the luncheon a success. I don't know how we would have done it since we had been out of town all week. Thanks so much! Paisley's dress was beautiful if I say so myself, we had bought it down in Rexburg over Christmas. She wore a bow made by my friend Amanda Chandler, a bracelet from the Child's World store down in Burley, and we used her blanket made by Marion. (Nana) Her shoes were too big, one fell off, so she only had one shoe on during the blessing. Those I also bought down in Rexburg over Christmas break. Stephen gave a beautiful blessing and I was very proud of him. We had lots of brothers, brother-in-laws and grandpas and great-grandpa Yorgesen standing in the circle and she was awake and very calm during her blessing. What a keeper she is!

Baby Broxton was here in his cute little blessing outfit, so that him and Paisley could get their pictures taken together. Beck ran around like a crazy man while Paisley just sat and looked around or snoozed on her special day as she got passed around to everyone that wanted to hold her. I had a very great Mother's Day and forgot it was Mother's Day with all the craziness in trying to get ready. Stephen made breakfast and I trickled downstairs at the smell of my favorite food... BACON! I got some motorcycle riding pants, jacket, helmet, and gloves.... Way cute too! Good food, Good friends, good presents, and Great family, a very good day indeed.....

Mexico

We had such a great time in Mexico and got back late Friday night. We are VERY tired and wiped out! It was very hot and humid and little Beck got a little bit of a sunburn and Stephen got A LOT of a sunburn on his shoulders. We mostly hung out by the pool which Beck loved! He didn't quite love the ocean, every time the waves would roll in, he'd lift his feet up. We took Beck to go and see some dolphins and he got to swim with them and kiss one. At first he was screaming, "no daddy, no ju (water) out daddy, no!" But warmed up to the big "dishy" (fishy) swimming by him in the water and then when it was time to get out he was screaming to get back in! Paisley was a little trooper and stayed in my sling about 90% of the time. Both kids were great on the plane and Stephen did give in and buy Beck a little DVD player before we left. We had Beck on a "leash" at one point, mostly at the Denver and Cancun airports, and as silly as it looks, it was such a life saver! I will never again think little of anyone that has their child on one of these leashes! Our Hotel was beautiful, the ocean even more beautiful and we were so happy to have some family down there with us. Cousin Tayrn was a great older cousin and baby-sat Beck 2 nights, so that we could go to the company dinners. WE LOVE TARYN and so does Beck. Poor cousin Kylie let him chase her around the pool and even throw some sand on her a few times!


So we survived Mexico and had a great time and arrived home safely and on to Kalan's graduation from U of I that we attended on Saturday. Way to go Bubba! We are so proud of you and excited for what your future holds! (make lots of money and buy a jet that we can fly on) It was fun to see his project that he has been working on and see what a big shot he is. He will be attending Boise State working on his Masters which he only has one more year of. Again, way to go Bubba!

Mexico May 2008

Drag the mouse over the picture and it will show you what it was....

Picture Day and Mexico

Look at Paisley in her cute jeans, her 1st pair! Even though they look like Erkle jeans, she'll grow into them. I needed something to match Beck's Camo pants because they got their pictures taken today (yes, AGAIN!) It was picture day at Beck's school. And look at her cute matching brown bow! Courtesy of my friend Alisha Wilkins, check out her blog, she's got some cute bows she sells on Ebay and sent me a whole box! I about died and it was like Christmas trying them all on Paisley.

Well, we're gettin all ready for Mexico. I've been packing all week and I just know that I am going to forget something, but have no fear, I looked it up and they have a Costco in Cancun. :) See the kid's suitcase? It's half full of just diapers and burp rags, haha! This should be quite an experience luggin our 3 suitcases, Beck in an umbrella stroller, Paisley in my sling, 2 carry ons, a diaper bag and Beck's little backpack, oh, and Beck's car seat. I'll let you know how it all goes. We are heading to Spokane tomorrow, probably sometime in the late afternoon. We decided to stay the night there to fly out early on Sunday morning. Sunday is also Paisley's one month birthday! So I will be sure to take plenty of pictures on her first plane ride ON her 1 month birthday! Oh, I love digital cameras, lucky I have a whole nother memory cartridge, so I can fill them both up. :) We will be flying back into Spokane at midnight on Friday, stay the night there, then get up EARLY and drive to Moscow, Idaho for my little brother, Kalan's graduation from U of I. Then race back home to get stuff together for Paisley's blessing and luncheon. (Please don't forget, Nelson Road church building, 11:00 AM) And Happy Mother's Day to all those mommies out there in case I don't get anything posted by then! AS Elder Russel M Ballard said, "The joy in motherhood comes in moments." Having said that, I'll leave you with a video of one of those moments with Beck and Piper and the poor duck at the park from play group yesterday......
