I wanted to document. :) Josh is a little ham. I haven't been nearly as good at documenting him as I would have liked.

We had been doing a lot of driving and Josh whose 2 1/2 was pretty done. Several times he said:

Josh: "I'm gonna throw up! Get me out of here!"

on our bathroom mirror Ben (6) wrote

"mom you are the best. you'll get the hang of chess" :)

Josh: "mom, I got a scratch (holding up his shirt).

Me: "how did you get a scratch?

Josh: "a shark scratched me."

Me: "where was the shark?"

Josh: "in the water"

Me: "what water?"

Josh: "the ghost water."

I have ZERO idea where that came from!

on our way home from Grandma and Grandpa's late one night Josh should have totally zonked but he didn't and kept asking:

"mom, where's my bed?" in a totally tired sweet voice. It was adorable.

Sarah got into my mom's makeup when we were there the other day. She put mascara on her eyelids and blush all over her face. She looked pretty cute.

She kept asking everyone if she was cute in a flirty way.

In this last week the kids have all had the croup. The totally share the things I don't want them to! It's sad to see them sick but it is nice too. Nice because they let me hold them and I feel like they need me.

I wonder sometimes if it is like that for Heavenly Father. If He sort of likes it when I'm having a hard time because I come to Him more, I need Him. Just a thought. :)

Being a mom is good. Life has thrown our little family a lot of curve balls lately. We are learning how to get through together and not apart. Some days it is easier than others. :)

Never in all my life have I felt so much love. I know my Heavenly Father knows where I am and what I need. That is a wonderful feeling.
