My boys are the sweetest

I love all of my boys--Brigden, Kanton & Ray. First thing this morning they got up and made me the most delicious breakfast ~ while I slept in. I don't know how I didn't hear them. They made Swedish pancakes, the prettiest you've ever seen, with peaches and whipped cream on top and.......I got to eat it in bed! It was so sweet, I love them for being so thoughtful of me on Mother's Day. Ray is such a wonderful husband...thanks babe! I appreciate that you are teaching our boys to be thoughtful.

I love getting the cute little things that Brig makes for me. In his Kindergarten class Brig made me the cutest book and every page had a different picture made out of his hand print. I will keep it forever to remember how small and sweet his hands were at this age. One of my favorite pages was this:

It says:

TRACES

This little grimy hand print will bring a smile someday.

You'll be sure to recollect this little hand at play.

And Mom you will remember and give a little sigh,

When you remember how fast the time passed by.
For little hands are only small a short time as you know.

In a few short years these hands will wave and away to life they'll go.

So for now be thrilled and thankful when you meet them in your day,

'Cause now they decorate our home in a special sort of way.


This little poem really hit home with me and it makes me want to cry when I think my boys won't be little forever and that they are growing up so fast. I love them with all of my heart and I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with these two sweet little spirits to raise. They bring so much joy and meaning to my life.
