life's moments....

 Preston is in the community play Beauty and the Beast.  He is really enjoying acting and being a part of the play.  I am loving watching him come out of his shell and feel confident.  I can't wait to see the performance and watch him shine. 

Karleigh just started dance on Thursday.  She is sooo excited.  I wasn't sure how she was going to do the first time since I couldn't stay to watch but she went right in and joined in.  After I picked her up she said she was a little nervous.  I told her I was so proud of her for being brave even if she was nervous.  I am soo excited for her to start dance.  She will be 5 in Sep. and I didn't know if she was too young to start but I think she will do great! 

Colton is going to do soccer this year again.  No baseball (thank goodness) Sorry I just don't enjoy baseball. 

Some fun things about Kambria.  She loves the song the wheels on the bus.  But it has to be this "ONE" video done by Baby Einstein that we watch on youtube.  we play it over and over and she dances and sings and yells for everyone to watch.  If she sees your not watching she yells hey, hey,  untill you watch and sing along.  I think it is hilarious. 
I took her to the doctor for her ear and the doctor said she has one of those looks that says move it I am going to take over the world.  And oh does she ever.  She is so determined.  She is very curious and always trying to figure out how something works. Her favorite thing this week is putting the lid on and off of a water bottle. She will sit and do it over and over for hours.  So simple.  She definatly does not like to be held back from anything.  She knows what she wants and is determined to get it. If you try to persuade her differently she won't let up.  It may be stubborness but I think she is just saying " NO you won't hold me back,  I will conquer the world" . What a strong spirit she is.  I just love her soo much. 

I love all my children and am so blessed to be a mother.  I just read a book called Kisses from Katie.  I highly Highly Highly recommend it.  I don't really want to get into the review of it right now.  Because I don't know really how to put it in words how it has changed my perception on Faith, and Devotion to our Savior.  It has really made me stop and look at my life and strive to live the life the lord wants me to live.  I am on a journey to find out what that is.  If you ask Karleigh what she wants to be when she grows up she will say a mom.  I love it, because growing up that is all I wanted to be as well.  As I look back at that I wonder why at times I never said I wanted to be a astronaut or doctor, or nurse.  I always wanted to be a mom.  To some that may seem not good enough.  But as my little girl says that she wants to be a mom when she grows up I think that is a very admirable thing to want.  It is making me look at the way I view motherhood and am I grateful for this blessing?  Do I see it as a blessing or a burden?  I am beginning to be in gratitude for this calling and realize that the lord has given me this time to serve him through them.  What a opportnity!
