Snow Picts from other years

first snow

what is so magical about the first snow? I remember when I was little, I would get up 3 or 4 times in a night just to make sure it was so snowing. If it was I would get excited, if it wasn't I was disappointed. I love the color the sky is at night when it snows. The street lights create an ambient reflection causing the sky to be pink. For some reason I love it. I went for a walk to the mailbox in the snow a couple of nights ago. Everything was so quiet. I, for some reason reflect of all the things I am thankful for when it snows. I don't know if it is because we so badly need the snow and when it starts to fall, maybe I just know that our Heavenly Father is so very mindful of the things we need and what makes us happy. As much as I hate the cold. I do love the snow

mater bug

Poor Peyten. He is going to have that nickname for the rest of His life! All the neighbor kids even call him mater bug. Peyten is my only baby that I have ever dreamt (sp?) about. I knew he would have dark black hair. Only in my dream it was like he was a troll doll. I loved peyten a lONG time ago. I feel as if our bond goes way way back. He is such a neat, happy, good, determined little guy. Just the spirit our Father in Heaven needs on the earth now. He is so determined to get his hands on everything. He was standing first thing. He rarely just sits on your lap. When he finally gets to stand, you can see how pleased he is on his face. I love peyt, he is a fresh breath of air. I can't wait for him to wake up sometimes because he has got the biggest smile for me. He is what I would defines as JOY. Peyten was born June 15th, on Fathers day. I don't know how my heart can love these people all the same, but I do. I love being a mom, I love hearing their laughs, the things they say. Which I will get into later. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. brookie

ty ty...

oh, how do i even begin with my tyler. When a mom has a baby, sometimes there is an immediate bond they have with their babies. I knew I loved tyler so much and he made me so happy. But, I feel like I grew a bond with Tyler later. I feel it made me love him even more because that bond came later. Tyler has always been the kid to make me laugh. He tries really hard to be the jokester in the family. Tyler has such a valiant spirit. I can already feel it. He is always there to remind me to say prayers. At his young age he even wants to say "HIMS own prayers" I wonder is he desires a relationship with His Father in Heaven before he even realizes it. I think tyler is so handsome. He is really a good looking kids, and always has been. Tyler was born on June 2nd, 2005. He is much second joy. I am so proud of him. I love tyler so much I don't know if I would laugh as much as I do with out him around

My Monkey Bug

Ok here is where I am going to start, monkey bug. Aysia was born on September 5th, 2003. She is my first treasure. I never dreamed I could love a little person so very very much. Travis and I would often comment on how much we loved her and how nuts it was that we could love someone as much as we love Aysia. When I was having ays the doctors said...Oh, she has got red hair. I couldn't picture my baby with red hair. Sure enough, red head she is. Through and through. I am so thankful she has the personality she has. Sometimes, she is annoying because she is mean to her friends. That sounds rude of me to say, but, she is quite bossy. I don't know how her friends can stand it sometimes, we are working on that a little, but, I don't want to break her to much of that. Because, along with that bossiness...she, stands up for things she really believes in...like modesty, saying bad things, etc. I think she needs that inward confidence that come with her. I love Aysia so so so much. I often remind her she is my first treasure. She is my first joy

How do I even Start

I am mainly doing this blog for me to keep better record of my family and what my kids are doing. They are growing so so fast and say silly things everyday. I want to just remember these special time when I have my kids in my home. I love being a mom and I love having little ones. Crazy I know. But I do!
