Mommy

I love being a mom but somedays it is just a very hard job. Somedays I wonder what I got myself into. And then something amazing happens-your child will say something that burrows them deeper into your heart, or they give you a hug, or they tell you that they love you. When that happens you realize that it is all worth it. Here are some of those moments that Steve and I have had with our kids...

Last Friday Steve got off work early and picked up Morgan. Morgan kept complimenting Steve- "Daddy you look so handsome today", "Daddy I am so glad that we get to play together today", "Daddy that is a nice shirt!". Steve said he was feeling really good about himself until Morgan than said, "Hey dad lets go shopping" in her very next breath. Our three year old was buttering up her dad so he would take her shopping!

Last night we went to pick up a few things at Walmart. Steve told the kids that they could each pick out something for themselves that cost $10. It took forever but finally we got our stuff and got home. Steve and I were in our room and Koby walked in with one dollar and said, "my toy cost $11 so I need to pay you back." What an honest kid-of course we didn't take his money, but wow!

We were in the car on the way to my grandma's house. Morgan was trying to buckle her doll into the extra seat belt. I said not to worry about it. She said, "Mommy she is a people too!" Needless to say her baby was buckled in before we got to the end of the block.

Koby loves to sneak up on me and scare me. I can usually catch him but sometimes he really gets me. The other night he was crawling on the floor into my room and then quietly reached out and put his hand on me. I jumped out of my skin and about peed my pant. In my defense I was reading a mystery novel and was at a really intense part!

In the car again listening to the radio and the nickelback song, Rockstar came on. Morgan said, I want to be a rockstar cuz then I can shake it. She later demonstrated how a rockstar shakes-pretty cute even if I have never seen a real rockstar do that.

In the mornings I have a tendency to have a hard time waking up. Some morning I am still upstairs getting ready to go while the kids are downstairs eating breakfast. Koby will often get on the intercom system and ask me if I would like him to fix me a waffle.

How wonderful it is to be a mom! I love you Koby and Morgan! Thanks for making my life so interesting and full of smiles and hugs!
