I don’t tend to brag about my children, but lately I have been feeling so much love towards them that I just wanted to express how WONDERFUL my children are. Yes, they still fight, yell, and have to sit in time out, and Connor still cries and fusses. I think that those moments help me realize what wonderful kids I do have when they are good. I just want to share a couple of things that my kids have done recently that have really just touched me.
Megan came home from school yesterday with a beautiful letter to me. It read:
“Dear Mommy I love you sooooo much. You look prity. You are sooooo prity whin you go to potry’s (parties) with you’r frens. I like helping you. I feel happy win I help you.
Love Megan Kelly
to Mommy kelly
It really made my day. She also drew a bunch of hearts on the back that said I love you. Megan really is a great helper and really tries to be good. She has been doing excellent at school, she’s a great reader and they have been starting to spell and she has been doing so good. I am so proud.
Bryson has really been difficult lately. He is at the stage of asking “why?” to EVERYTHING, and he has started calling names (even though they don’t make sense), and he is being VERY stubborn about potty training. But when I need a hug or ask him to help he is right there. He also will use some very sweet words telling me I’m beautiful, or that Megan drew a beautiful picture. He is very sweet when he wants to be, and is always my best helper. He loves to play with Megan and has been very cute learning how to sing his primary songs.
Connor is usually a happy baby. He loves to laugh and smile. He is constantly sucking on something. He usually takes his socks off to suck on them. He really can brighten my day with his smile or a laugh. I love him so much.
I really love each of my kids so much, it really is amazing how much love you can have for so many people. I am so grateful for my wonderful kids and how they can simply show me their love at just the right moments. I had to give some opening remarks in our relief society night last night and I found a quote that I feel is so true that I wanted to share…
“Recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction.” - Elder M. Russell Ballard -
I couldn’t have said it better.

It is amazing how much love you can have for your kids, and how it just keeps growing and growing with each one. I love the quote you shared. It was a good reminder for me, it has been a rough week.
I love that quote by Elder Ballard! The note Megan wrote to you is so sweet--that's one to keep in the scrap book :) Your kids are too cute, and I'm glad you took a moment to brag about them. It's good to recognize in yourself what great kids you (and Josh!) are raising. :)
We think your kiddos are great too! They are always so loving and caring and yes they have their moments but they also have their good moments. Elder Ballard is so right about what he said. There is really no greater joy than you can have then to be a parent of wonderful kids! I should know I have six of them!
Great quote--so true! I love it when I can take a step back and see the beauty of children. They are so sweet!
I've been meaning to call you on the phone...when is a good time of day?
Wow Lex I LOVE that quote I may need to post it on my blog. :) I love your kids so much and miss them. I loved this post about your kids. With my health problems that I've had recently I have realized that I take my kids for granted. I was away from them for only 2 days but I missed them SO much! I even cried a couple of times. Aren't we all so blessed to have the children we have. They are also blessed to have such wonderful mothers.
