Our life at the Moment

I consider this blog our family journal so here is the latest. Liam just finished Gymnastics which he loved along with everything else about his life. He plays swords all day everyday but sadly, loses the privledge a little more then he would like. The other day he asked if Santa wouldn't come so he could keep his Birthday presents and was very excited when I told him he could have Christmas presents and Birthday presents. He melts my heart when he out of blue he gives me a hug and tells me he loves me so much. I love him so much!
Layla is still her little self full of spice. I wish I had some of her determination. When that girl gets her mind set on something there is NO compromising. She has the sweetest laugh. She loves her little stuffed dog. She is enjoyinng her new forward carseat and smiles/laughs the first few minutes she is in it. She catches on very quickly to what adults and big kids are doing. She wants nothing to do with being a baby lets just put it that way. Layla was in the 25% for height and weight which total threw me for a loop. What in the world? My family is always in the 75% and higher for height. I couldn't figure out why she was still wearing 6-12 month clothes. I thought they started making them bigger. Guess not. I feel so blessed to have her as a daughter. Layla, I love you so much!
Josh and I are convinced Liam has my personality and Layla has Josh's. Liam loves people more then anything. He will talk to anyone and give them a thumbs up. The other day he was in his room all morning "cleaning" not in trouble just doing his chore. He was happy as a lark and got nothing done. He would put one toy away while discovering another one. I checked on him and asked if he was cleaning. He said with a huge smile, "Ohh forry Mom I forgot, do you want to play with me in here?".
Layla is determind and hard working. She will sit and figure anything out. I sometimes have to remind myself she just turned one. She seems so much older some times. She loves to make people laugh. I love her 4 teeth. It feels like she has a new word every day. I admire her determination,
I love being at home and keep myself busy with our two young kids. The love I have for our children far exceeds everything else. It feels like we are always doing a craft, making a meal, cleaning, etc. Not enough time in the day. I never thought I could be soooo busy or tired. At least the busy is full of love. I have enjoyed making little girl bows lately and love time with my sisters and friends. Love to shop (some things will never change) and to get dolled up. Movies in bed are my favorite. Going out to a good resturant makes me very happy. I love living near my Dad and Leslie and am mad that my sisters and Mom aren't closer. I am also mad the Monk (my favorite TV show) is over but felt a little better when I found a book series. I love it when my sisters let me dress them and love my Moms new haircut. My parents are my heros. The gospel is my foundation. I have a strong testimony of our Savior and The Book of Mormon. My life will always be wonderful because I have the gospel. Maybe not easy, but wonderful. I have gratitude for the many blessings our Father in Heaven has blessed me with.
