What A Kid.

I have wondered so many times if my kids hear what I am saying when I talk to them. I am serious. I am always repeating myself and they are constantly using their favorite word "Huh?" They are looking at me........but nothing is staying in there. Well today, I got the wake up of my life. Let me break it down of you.........

I was talking with the hubby about the "birthday party" that we are having this weekend. So excited, EEEEEEK.......but that is for another post. Back to the issue at hand. So I was talking with my man. About the party stuff. You know, asking the "you are okay with me spending money for this and this and this" questions, when I could obviously tell that he was sooooooo not paying attention to a thing that I was saying. So I stopped and looked at him. Hoping that any second now he would turn to me and say "keep going, I was listening." There I sit.........almost ready to throw something at him Ky stood up, walked over to him, grabbed the sides of his face, turned his face towards him and said, "DADDY, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING"

pause for the SHOCK!!!

I couldn't believe it. All this time whenever I talked to them and the "DAZE" look starts smearing across their faces, I thought I would never NEVER NEVER get through to them. However, I am one happy mommy cause my baby has shown me that even when they look like they aren't listening, maybe, just maybe, they hear a little of what I say.

My Walker

What a wonderful feeling of joy you get when you see your kids reach certain mile stones in life. Those first smiles, waves, sitting by themselves, standing.........AWWWWWW, these moments are some of the most rewarding for a parent. As I have had the pleasure to be a stay at home mom and watch my children hit these wonderful, growing landmarks. I am reminded just how perfect they are. How innocent they can be and how much I would NEVER give them up for the world. I remember distinctly, T learning to walk. On his first birthday he took his first 7 steps. What a glorious moment for me as a first time mother. When Ky reached that stage, I almost didn't want him to start walking, but soon loved watching those tiny little legs carry him around the room. My little Krash has hit that mile stone.

HE IS A WALKER!!!!!

What a sad/happy time, right? I mean, sad for me cause he all of a sudden looks older to me, and happy for him that he is not even 10 months old and wanting to walk. I have been kind of waiting for him to walk and knew that he was on the verge of doing it soon. I never expected it to be so "all of a sudden." The other day he just stood up in the middle of the floor, and proceeded to walk 15 steps. I almost started screaming when he reached 5 steps, but kept my cool until he wobbled and sat on the floor after I had counted to 15 before I jumped up cheering at the top of my lungs and clapping with all my might. He was so excited to have me so happy. He started clapping with me and screaming his high pitched scream. Talk about a moment that I will never forget.

March Already?!?

Oh where oh where has February gone?

I seriously can't believe that it is the 1st of March. But I can't say that I'm not super happy about it cause......I AM!!! This month has got to be one of my most favorite months ever. I love SPRING!! This is something that I never really got to see growing up in a place like Star Valley, WY. They don't even have a spring. Most probably don't know what Spring is. So when I met my honey and we moved out to California I got to see spring in its fullest. I love that the earth gets to "shed" her skin and take on a new one for the year. I find it beautiful. I enjoy seeing new grass coming in, and flowers starting to bloom. BUT MY MOST FAVORITE!

Seeing the trees in blossom..............moment of peace....................such beauty. I think this is one of the most greatest things ever. I am so blessed to get to enjoy it every year.

This is not my house either, it is a house that I have to pass to take T to school every morning, and I have fallen for it.
