Mornings--I like to repeat myself (I'm sure I said a lot of these same things yesterday)

It's official...I love my life. I love waking up to Tyler every single morning. I love it when my little boys jump up out of bed excited to read the scriptures as a family. I loved seeing Spencer this morning come into our room at 6:29 so proud that he was the first one up then watch Grant come in shortly there after and jump into our bed...Spencer's big eyes got bigger as the light bulb went of in his head--oh, he liked the idea of climbing into our bed with us to get warm...he like it a LOT. Too bad so sad...Tyler was quick to redirect everyone into the living room. Such a funny little interaction. These things entertain me. :)

I love how reading the scriptures together as a family teaches me where I need to improve. I love being reminded in a very powerful way just how incredible it is to have guidance from a perfect, loving Father in Heaven. I love remembering just how badly I need to feel the way I feel each morning as the Spirit enters and pure inspiration flows into my heart and mind. I love knowing that we are being fed spiritually growing closer to each other and to our Heavenly Father at the same time. I learned today that it's OK for me to go through my morning ritual after I drop Grant off at school. The one where I check my three blogs that I follow the NieNie Dialogues, C. Jane Enjoy It and 71 toes.

Furthermore, that it's equally OK to write my own little post. Once I'm done with all that though I'll be much happier if I get to work; If I clean up my house and wash clothes so that my wonderful little family has something to wear each day. I will feel infinitely better if I get those patches from the pack meeting sewn onto Grant's uniform (Heaven knows how much I enjoy that responsible-sewing-on-scout-patches-mommy-feeling). I will be a happy camper tonight when bed time rolls around and I have taken my kiddos swimming. I can exercise while I play with them. I thoroughly enjoy watching them splash around. Grant is part fish...water is a very wonderful sensory experience for him...more so for him than most humans I believe. It makes me happy to see him happy. I will be happy if I shower and put on something normal looking and wear make up and fix my hair.

I will be happy today if I do these things. So I will. Wish me luck. I'll probably be back tomorrow.

Grant 13

Grant is in 7th grade now! He chose to study Mandarin this year as his language elective and his teacher has been really impressed with his talent for picking it up. He loves to play basketball and football whenever he can get a chance. He his currently working on 3 Eagle scout merit badges and continues to love learning. He is a great big brother and plays with his siblings a lot. He likes having his own room and keeps it really clean. Its fun to watch him grow up and talk to him about life and his goals for the future. Grant is very determined and sensitive to doing what is right. I am proud of his efforts to do the best he can in his current circumstances. We love him dearly.

Spencer 8

Spencer is in 3rd grade and loves his teacher Mrs. Lunt. He is in Gate and shares the riddles he gets from Mr. Boring (the gate teacher). He loves to read, especially Harry Potter. He plays well with his friends and siblings and loves to be at home more than anything else. His asthma is very well controlled this year and we are so happy about that. He is being followed by a specialist and takes a lot of preventative medication to keep it from flaring up like it has in years past. Spencer works hard at everything he does and tries really hard to follow the rules. He is excited to be able to attend the temple when he is twelve. He is a happy guy and we really love having him in our family.

Joshua 3

Joshua is PASSIONATE and very tenderhearted. He feels things very deeply and brings a lot of life to our family. He enjoys saying every single family prayer and is working on taking turns. He likes to sing Everything is awesome for every single family home evening we have. He has perfected the jump tumble and is very much in love with his brudders and sister Kate. His family means everything to him. He likes to play with his friend Jake and go to coop. He will eat most things and still takes a nap every day. He likes to play basketball with his brothers and is always wanting to get money to buy candy. He loves candy!

Kate 19 months

Kate is very busy trying to tease people or get them to chase her. She likes to be funny and she loves her daddy! Kate frequently races me to her brother Ethan when he cries and tries to be the first to hold him. She has a hard time waiting for her turn as I feed him or change his diaper. I think she thinks she is Ethan's mom too. She loves to stare at him and laugh at his little sounds. She puts her cheek on his face and pretends she is folding his clothes in the pack and play. She is very helpful and likes to bring people their shoes, blankets, cell phones, remotes, books, whatever she thinks they need. She has 12 teeth having just barely cut the four back teeth so she is enjoying her expanded food options. She seems to have grown out of her fainting spells. She used to cry so hard she would pass out. But that hasn't happened for a while. She is such a Joy to have around and we all love her so much. She goes crazy with delight when she sees Spencer after he has been gone. She squeals and claps her hands. They are buddies.

Ethan 2 weeks

Ethan continues to sleep a lot. He has started waking up a bit more in the evenings and we all enjoy watching him look around. He seems to be focusing in on people a little more now. We have noticed that Ethan has what is called tongue tie. Where his tongue is still attached quite a bit to the floor of his mouth by a cord. He doesn't have a lot of range of movement. We will have to see what the doctor recommends we do at his next apt. It doesn't seem to affect his ability to nurse so that is good. His umbilical cord fell off when he was like 10 days old but it still has some stuff coming out of it so he hasn't had his first bath yet. I have given him a few sponge baths though.
