A New Year...Holy Crap!

I guess I've been in a blogging "funk"...don't really have the desire to blog about anything!!! Holidays were all so super busy that I didn't have time either. And here it is...almost February 2010!!! It's a new year, and I don't really have any big goals for myself this year. Probably just because I haven't taken the time to sit down and figure it out. I like having goals, but then again, I don't. boo.

I laid in bed last night, attempting to fall asleep. But my mind was recalling different things that I love about my kids. I laid there and smiled to myself....
Walker can be very difficult at times. Sometimes I don't know how to handle him. I am praying each and every day for help in this area....so as I don't make any major mistakes and scar him for life.

I love it when he wears pj's with feet on them. His skinny butt looks so cute! I just love to squeeze it!! I love to hear the way it sounds when he is walking down the hall, on the tile with them on. It makes a cute pitter patter noise! I love that he loves any and all vroom vrooms, cars, trucks, bikes, tractors, trains....but he DOES have a sensitive side...THANKS to his wonderful older sisters!
Rylie is a sweet heart. I love, love, LOVE taking her in the shower with me. She cuddles up to my neck and we stand there in the warm water together. Her cute chubby butt...I also love to squeeze!!! Her chubby fingers and legs...ahhhhh She is taking steps...and that makes me sad...she is growing up and getting so big!!! I am enjoying nursing her still, even though nights are still a challenge with sleep. But I just keep telling myself that it won't last forever...and soon I won't be able to nurse her and I will GREATLY miss it.

These two are awesome...and I love them. I couldn't get by without them!! Not a day goes by that I dont get a note from one of them. Just to say I love you...OR to ask me something and make me circle yes or no!! hahahaha
Abby's laugh is contagious and Rebekkah's silliness cracks me up. And when the two are together, it's so fun.
Oh how I love these kids. I love each phase that they are going through. I know I have to remind myself how great each one of them is...especially on those days where I just think I can't take anymore!! They each make me smile, in their own little ways. And I need to remember what those are...I need to enjoy them more...I need to look in their eyes and tell them I love them, just a little bit more...

ITS SO NICE TO BE ABLE TO STEP BACK FOR A SECOND ONCE IN AWHILE AND ENJOY THEM. JUST SOAK IT IN AND SMILE. I LOVE THOSE MOMENTS....THEY MAKE ALL THE OTHER BAD ONES A LITTLE HARDER TO REMEMBER. RELAX AND ENJOY 2010!

I think all of their smiles are contagious! I think every mom needs to do a reflection blog today. I know it always helps to put priorities in check!
