Heber Creeper Train Ride

Aunt Laurie out did herself for the annual Halloween party.  A fun dinner at the park and a spooky train ride with cousins.  The zombie chicks taunted poor Judd but he was such a good sport!

Fall Break

I loved having the boys home all day.  With all the hussle and bussle, I liked being able just to hang out.  We had lots of fun at Cornbellys,  doing science experiments,  and lots of artwork. I love these boys of mine.

Birthday!

My Judd had another birthday. Where does the time go?  I love this boy so much but boy can he test me. I feel like because he is the oldest, I am a little tougher on him. Probably more than I should be.  You want the best for these little human beings, and I worry constantly that sometimes I fall short as a mom.  Judd is sunshine to me and I am so glad he is mine to love, teach, and raise. 

Things to remember:
-He is terribly shy, except for ay home. Once he is home the freak flag is flown.
-He learns quickly and reads really well.
-He is persistent.  He taught himself to tie his shoes and practiced constantly.
-He is athletic.  He is playing tackle football and has blown me away with his skills.
-He got a little love mote at church which I thought was adorable.  Judd was embarrassed.
-He is a good artist. I want to frame every piece he does.
-He teases Remi to the point I could send him on a one way ticket.
-He loves reading with me, especially scripture stories.
-I love his prayers.
The list could go on.  Judd is my first and I will always be there for him. I think he is amazing and I want him to know that my heart could burst because it is so full. He makes me so so proud. Love you!

Updates

-Last month it was my mom's birthday.   My mom is my best friend.  I adore her and feel so blessed to have her in my life.  She constantly is helping everyone in our family, and is a true example of someone who loves unconditionally.  I can tell her anything and I know there is no judgement, only support.  All the grandkids love her and look forward to her visits.  I wish I could cook like her!  I love our daily conversations and how I look forward to them everyday.  Happy Birthday Little Lady.  I am glad you got to party like a rock star all week. 

-I got to go on a field trip to the zoo with Judd. Holly Molly!  Being in charge of 5 little ones was extremely exhausting but I loved it!  Judd makes me proud and I love watching him prosper in school.

-I love my boys.  Sometimes they are naughty and sometimes they are nice, but everyday I am thankful they are all mine!
