Little Buddy

Seems how we just celebrated our country's freedom, I thought it would be fitting to mention my little brother. 

Why is it so weird to see your little siblings grow up?!?!?

My brother joined the ROTC Air Force.  

Not like the army isn't confusing enough, right, but this is what I understand....because he is in the ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Core), he will graduate from college as an officer.  He is at his "field training" for 4 weeks right now, and apparently it is different than "boot training" which is 3 months.  Make any sense....?

I am so proud of him for having a desire to represent our country.  Thank you, love you bud!!!

Little Athlete

Parker recently finished playing in his 2nd soccer league.  He is a such a good little player!!!  I don't want to toot my son's own horn, but he made 30 of the 35 goals his team played, and had the ball 90% of the time.  His coach called it the "Parker Show."  Looks like this is only the beginning of many soccer games to come.   :o)

Boy Overload

I know I have said this before, but holidays are so much more fun with

children around. Parker loved decorating/dying easter eggs. I think he

decorated a dozen eggs all by himself.

Handsome boys! Dressed in their easter outfits.

(I could not get the rest my pictures to upload....maybe another day.)

Love

A Moment That Melts a Mothers Heart

A couple of weeks ago in sacrament meeting, the opening song was "I Am A Child Of God." Parker was not starting off the meeting well. As soon as he heard the song start to play, his eyes lit up and he sang the whole song (he sang the 1st verse 3 times :). After the song was over he leaned over to me with a great big simle and said, "Mom, did you know, I really, really like that song!"

Outside

This picture cracks me up!!!

We were riding bikes on not the nicest day, but had to get outside. Of course the boys had their basketball shorts on (seriously, you would think the world was ending if they didn't have their basketball shorts on...), and we suddenly found ourselves in the back yard where all the snow was not melted. We built a snowman with basketball shorts and bike helmets on.

Silly boys!!!

Birthday Celebrations

February is the lucky birthday month for both boys!!!

Parker had a little party with his friends during the day. He is into superheros and transformers right now, but surprised me by wanting a mickey mouse party (something he has loved since he could see :-) We played pin-the-nose-on-mickey mouse, had a pinata, and "race to the clubhouse." He loved it and loved having all his friends over! He is my social guy.

Carsen is into cars so it only seemed fitting to have a Lighting McQueen party. He also loves basketball as you can tell by the picture how excited he was about getting one. We went to McDonalds with family and had a little party there.

I am normally not very personal on my blog, and just write a little something here and there, but as it has been 4 years since I have had the wonderful opportunity of being a mother I have done some reflecting of how much my life has been blessed having the opportunity to become a mother, and Heavenly Father trusting me to raise these choice spirits. I am so grateful to be a mother and love these two boys so much! A mother's love is something one cannot explain and am so grateful I have gotten the experience it in this lifetime. We all could go on and on about how wonderful our children are and that they are best thing that has happened to us, that is why we all have a "brag blog."
