In Training



One night I found Kaden in the kitchen like this.  Apparently, he decided that our garbage needed emptied.  Kaden is my little helper. He always wants to help when I sweep, mop, or take out the garbage.  This time, he took the initiative himself and tried to take out the garbage by himself.  So, I looked at it as an opportunity to train.  Never too early to teach your kids to clean, right?!?!
I did help him a little, but he mostly did everything by himself.
Most importantly, I trained him to REPLACE the garbage bag.  (His Dad kind of forgets to do this. :)  )



  

 He did take the garbage out to the garage himself, and climbed up on that tote to put it in.  He was so proud.  He did need help closing the lid.  It was so cute.  I loved watching him.  I am so glad that I was able to grab my camera.  Now, when he is older and complains about taking out the garbage, I will remind him that he begged to do it when he was two!  Love you, Son!

He is so ADORABLE! And the whole 'replacing the bag' is a little issue at our house too!

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...
