Radio Flyer Rocking Horse

Tuesday my Mom came down and spent the day with me---much need adult time. We didn't do much but we achieved something fantastic!!! We found Caleb's dream toy, a Radio Flyer Rocking Horse. I wanted to get him one for Christmas but they were too expensive. after driving around Blackfoot and visiting a few stores we decided to go into a second hand store. There it was, and Caleb ran right to it and tried to hop on. I wasn't sure if this was okay with the clerk but Caleb was determined and hopped right on and wasn't about to get off--he is a little cowboy at heart and rocked as fast as his little legs would go, all while yelling Yahaw, Yahaw!! After a minute or two my Mom walked over and said I think I should buy that for hime for his birthday...it was $50 WAY TOO MUCH for her to spend on one little guy. We finally got Caleb off for a minute and let Emily try it out, she also loved it, it was fun to watch thier faces light up and my Mom said it would be a gift for both of them (theier birthdays are 13 days apart). They were so excited and I think it made my Mom's day to do something so special for her grandkids, Thank you Mom!!

I had to throw this picture in because Caleb's face is priceless....a kiss from sister YUCK!!

Children are precious!

It has been almost a month since I updated my blog. I love the Holidays but they are busy! We had a wonderful Christmas and we were able to spend alot of time with our family and friends! That is all that matters right!!

We spent New Years with our friends and they were a blast! I even found out a few days later that her Grandpa had passed away and she still put the party on and we had alot of fun, what a great friend!!

I will have to do scrapbooks of our holidays adventures later but for now I am sitting here contimplating life I guess you could say. Tonight I went to pick Ben up from the bus and while I was waiting I heard a song by Lee Ann Womack called "There is a God". Oh how true that statement is!!! I think we all tend to forget all the little Tender Mercies that we recieve each day, our minds waiver a little and is overloaded and we simply forget. I want to be more child like!! Last night I asked Ben to give me a blessing and afterward Caleb got upon the chair I was sitting on and in the most precious voice her said "Dad, bless" Ben said, what do you tell a 2 year old? No??? Never, so Ben went over and gave Caleb a father's blessing. Since Caleb is only two, very healthy and happy I had no idea what Ben would bless him for. He never ceases to amaze me, he was inspired and blessed him to do well in nursery and be happy and get along with Emily. It was really sweet!!

This is pretty much how Caleb is most of the time...happy and a joy to be around! I love you little man!

Today I am so grateful I have a worthy priesthood holder as a husband. I am thankful for his willingness to serve me and those around him. Since he has gone back to work I have felt so alone, I know I am not alone but I feel that way! I feel the need to have more friends to do things with, I need an "out". I feel like I want to break out of my "cleaning the house" shell and be adventurous and take on some new tasks. I have de-junked my life and I will stive to be a better mother and friend!
