Kids curiosity

So the other day Brittany told Kevin that she never wanted to have kids. I was present when the conversation happened, but according to Kevin the conversation went something like this.

Brittany: Dad I never want to have kids

Kevin: Why?

B: Because I do not want them to have to cut my tummy open to get them out.

K: That is not the only way a baby comes out. That is just how mommy had to have you girls because of her broken back.

B: Well then what is the other way

K: I'll tell you when you are 16

B: Why do I have to wait that long?

K: Because

She is only 5 but she asks some pretty deep questions LOL

Today we had another amusing conversation while in the car (which meant I couldn't run and hide) between Kaitlyn (K), Brittany (B) and Me (M)

Let me give you a little background.... we have a neighbor that lives around the corner that is always outside doing yard work or whatever in some short shorts (it looks like a swim suit to me) and no shirt. Maybe if he was even a little handsome I wouldn't mind, but he is not. I do not enjoy looking at his over tanned flab hanging down.

B: Look at that boy he doesn't have any clothes on he is showing his boobies

K: Well boys don't have to wear shirts like girls do. In fact some boys that look good get married by not wearing any shirt because people think they are sexy.

B: Boys don't have to wear shirts because they have pe-nicks

M: Brittany what did you say?

Silence

M: I am not mad I just wondered what you said

Silence

M: Did you say boys have a penis?

B: no, what's a penis? I said boys have a pe-nicks you know instead of boobs

M: OOOOHHH Pecks 

B: Ya Pecks

M: Oh ok

I love the conversations we have.... They do not know it now, but they are helping to open our lines of communication so we can talk openly about things later!

A baby gone too soon

God called one of his angels home today. His mission on earth was complete. He only needed a body because he was perfect you see. At 7 months old he returns home not required to endure the pains and sufferings of this life. He is in the loving arms of his grandpa in heaven. 

We miss you Christopher until we meet again.

by Edgar Guest

"I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine,"  He said.
For you to love - while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.

It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care or him for Me?

He'll bring his smiles to gladden you,
And should this stay be brief
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

I've looked this world over
In search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd
Life's lanes, I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love,
Nor count the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to
Take him back again?"

I fancied that I heard then say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,

The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that come
And try to understand."

Thank You God for the blessing of this child in our lives.

Please keep my aunt and uncle in your prayers as they bury my cousin this week.

Mother's Day 2012

We have had a great Mother's Day this year. We went to dinner at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants on Friday. We celebrated Alyssa's birthday at Chuck E Cheese on Saturday and I actually got a nice nap on Sunday.

We gave my mom her present at Chuck E Cheese last night. This was her first Mother's Day since she lost her mom.....

 We got her this necklace that says All that I am or ever hope to be....

 .....I owe to my angel Mother. I thought it was perfect for her :)

 This morning the kids woke me up and showered me with loves and gifts.....

Then they put a show on for us. They dressed up in these cute outfits and sang and danced....

Brittany sang the first verse of I love to see the Temples and Kaitlyn sang the second.

It was adorable!!

 Brittany made me this special flower pot for me in school.

I has a picture of us and says Mom, My love blooms for you.

 she decorated the bag she gave me too. It says thanks for being my mom

 Kaitlyn made this bag for me. It says Happy Mother's day mom I love you so much. Mothers are the best. To mommy from Kaitlyn

 She made me this lemon sugar scrub

 They bought me some new summer time shoes :)

 A nice new pan

 Plus my honey got me this ring.

 These flowers are from my parents and my kids.

I was pretty spoiled this Mother's Day.
