So Real

Kennedi has a new saying....

We discovered it yesterday and since then we have heard her use it three times.

YESTERDAY: (At Gymboree looking for an Easter dress)

Me:  Kennedi, which dress do you like?  (holding up two adorable options)

Kennedi:  "Ummmm, that one."  (as she points to a pretty, flowy, flower dress)

Me:  "Are you sure?"  (I really liked the other one)

Kennedi:  "Yes.  That one...because it is so real."

Me:  "Well, okay.  Who can argue with that?!?!"  (So, we bought it for her.)

 Today she used it another time referring to another dress and then tonight she said that her pajamas (pink, flowery and frilly) were "so real".

Thankfully, after she said that her pajamas were "so real" she started explaining to me exactly what that means.
Kennedi: "Mom, I look so pretty in my jammies.  They are so real.  See Mom, it is like a dress and it spins and is pretty."

And there you have it folks...apparently if it is pretty and flares out when she spins then that is Kennedi's definition of "so real".

And if you are just sitting there thinking, "Wow, their kid is so smart!",  just you wait---she has also made up another word called, "NAS".
This is Kennedi's word that she uses when she doesn't want the answer to be "yes" or "no".  She just says, "Nas!"

I know, genius.

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
