Memory

You know how when you are in the moment and you hear your kids say something funny and you think, "I will NEVER forget that they said that."  

Well, Jerrod just asked me yesterday what Kaden's first word was and I can't remember.  So sad.  Maybe I wrote it somewhere in here a couple of years ago, but I don't really want to look right now.  

So, I am going to use this wonderful technology called a blog to help be my memory.  


Today Kennedi and Kaden were upstairs in their room playing.  I was cleaning up and over-heard Kennedi say, "Kaden, your guy is named Jerrod and my girl is named Heidi." 
They were playing "Heidi and Jerrod"!  It was so cute.  Kennedi was the little Mom who told "Jerrod" what she was doing and told him how to play with the kids.   It is so funny what kids pick up.

The kids LOVE to play "I Spy" in the car when we are driving.  Kennedi is pretty good and will always pick tricky ones.  Yesterday she said "I have a tricky one!  I spy something that we are on."  
I kept saying, "the road?  the seat?  the ground?"  She giggled and kept saying that it was tricky.  Finally it came to me.  "Is it the Earth?" 
"Yes!" She giggled with delight and said, "See Mom, I told you it was tricky!"
Kaden doesn't really get the whole "I Spy" concept just yet.  He tries to play with us and says things like, "I Spy something Rain!"  "I Spy something Trucks!" 
He is so fun and loves when he gets to play games like that with us.  

One more from "I Spy".  
On our way home from church yesterday I said, "I spy something beautiful!"  It could have really been anything.  Like the trees, the flowers, the sky, but nope...my very modest daughter yells, "ME!!!!"
The funny thing was is that she was right.  I was talking about her, but I just thought it was so funny that she said herself.  I am thankful that she thinks that she is beautiful because I think that is so important in a young girls' life.  

Now, here is a Laugh Out Loud, slap your knee funny story about Kaden...
Kaden is a 3 year old boy who is very aware of his...let's just say "Manparts" (thanks for the wording, Tyrell).  
A few weeks ago, I found him upstairs in his room with his diaper off and his pliers from his Handy Manny tool set pinching his 'thing'.  
I said, "Kaden!  What are you doing?????"
He said, "Mom, I am fixing my Dinkie!!!"  
I was laughing so hard I was crying!  
BOYS!

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...
