I love my family

I have done and seen so much since my last post that I have been putting off blogging because it seemed like such a chore! So, I decided to just make a "happy blog" and write about how much I love my family and post some fun pictures of all of us enjoying being together.

Hyrum is the best husband and father and such a great help to me. I love him so much. He always does the bedtime routine with the boys and that is a huge help because it allows me to get a few things done in the evening that I otherwise wouldn't have time to do. He has always supported me in my goals and encourages me when I feel like a failure at being a mother. I couldn't ask for more:)

Townsend is a real sweetie. He loves to take care of Emerson and always makes sure that Emerson is happy. What a great big brother he is. He has a great sense of humor and is really good at making us laugh. Just this morning the boys were getting all their instruments together to have a concert and when they were all set up Townsend said, "OK Emerson, let's rock-n-roll!"

Emerson is a joker. He loves to make people laugh. He also thinks about things and asks really great questions sometimes. Tonight I told him a story about a beehive that was built inside of a hole in a tree and after I was done he said, "Mom what about the owls, won't they get stung?" I guess he figured only owls live in holes in the trees and he was concerned that perhaps maybe the owls weren't aware that other animals like to live in trees too. He wants to be a space scientist when he grows up and the other night he told Hyrum that he had to read 7 pages each night from his space book so he can become an "expert" on space.

Julian is a real joy. He sleeps well, he eats well, he is playing and smiling more each day. There is something magic about your little baby when he looks up at you and smiles. It's like he is saying, "I love you mom, thanks for taking care of me." It melts my heart!!

Sorry for the cheesy post but this is my blog and I'll do what I want with it:)

My family

My two little crazies

My angel boy

I love this photo because it looks like Julian is saying, "oh well, I guess it's time to cut my fingernails again, I guess I'll just sit here until she's done."

You gotta love that smile

Hyrum is such a great dad!!
