Why I love being a mother...

I just want to take this opportunity to say how grateful I am to be a mother. I am convinced that Heavenly Father has blessed Trev and I with some of his most precious and choice spirits. Our children bring such joy into our lives and our world revolves around them. I just hope that I enjoy these tender moments in my life so that I don't look back and regret that I didn't. Morgan is the sweetest, most tender-hearted little girl. She is beautiful, intelligent, super-duper sweet, loving, and funny too. She melts my heart and I just think that Heavenly Father knew how perfectly she would fit into our lives. I am grateful for her thoughtful spirit and her example to me of Christ-like love. If only I can learn to be more like her. And my sweet boy, Jake. What can I say...he is ALL boy and I LOVE it! He is such an active, rowdy little guy that when he takes the time to just sit and snuggle (not often) I just melt. From day one he has always been a daddy's boy, but lately I have definately made up some ground! He is also sooo funny! He knows when he has an audience and he works the crowd like mad. We have people telling us all the time what a cool kid he is. From what I understand, he pretty much runs the nursery every Sunday and keeps the Nursery leaders in stitches. The other side of him I absolutely adore is that he has a loving heart as well. He ADORES his "sissy." If and when, he gets hurt he always wants to cuddle and won't be satisfied until we kiss his "ouchies" better. He is constantly showing me that I need to enjoy life. He is just the happiest, fun, out-going little guy and I just LOVE that about him. As you can see, I am a very blessed woman and that's not even mentioning how wonderful my sweet husband is. I could go on and on about him too. I just love my life and am so grateful that Heavenly Father provides us so much happiness in a life that is supposed to be difficult. I have learned a lot more about my Heavenly parents by becoming a parent myself. I love my family and I LOVE my Heavenly Father for bringing them into my life and creating so much joy for me.
