Best Kids Ever

I need to write this. Not only for me to remember but for them to someday when they are all teenagers, to look back and see how much they really love each other!

Before Seth left today he loved on each of the kids and told Logan that he was going to have to take daddy's place for a few weeks. He needed to be mom's big helper and best listener.

Tonight after making a quick cheese crisp for dinner for the kids, I needed to run upstairs and do something on the computer for Seth who was driving to New Mexico. Chloe didn't have a nap and was quite upset that she was being handed a cheese crisp with white cheese and not yellow (it was all I had). Anyway, I left her in tears and ran upstairs. On my way I heard Logan say, "Chloe, I know you don't want that cheese but it is really yummy. Do you want to race a bite? Look, I'm eating it too." Again tonight after scriptures and prayers I sent the kids to bed. I started to give Mason a bath and once again heard this sweet boy say to his sister, "Chloe, good night. Did you get your teeth brushed? Love you." For the millionth time today, I cried.


Now, just because we have these sweet moments of peace and love doesn't mean our entire day works out this way. However, among the crying and begging for daddy, my relief comes in a 6 month old 18 pound bundle of slobber, smiles, spit and giggles. Sweet, sweet Mason boy knows when to laugh and when to grin and it is always when his mommy needs it most.

Heavenly Father has blessed us with these three awesome kids. They are rowdy, funny, smart, busy, crazy and sometimes more than I can handle but I wouldn't trade them for anything.
