I LOVE my Kids!!!

Sorry, I haven't really been up to 'bloggin'... we are a busy family, but it's hard to think of things to write about or to feel passionate enough to write about things.  A new thing that's kind of a big deal for us this week was that we bought a van.  It's pretty exciting, and also kind of weird because we keep getting all these strange comments about becoming "a real family" or "entering our new phase of life" or "having a mormon assault vehicle"?!?!   Funny... weird... I never viewed a van like that before, but am super happy to have one now!

So I really wanted to blog about my beautiful children.  Right now I'm pregnant, and I don't know if the hormones are what's making so gooey about my kids, but seriously I'm filled with so much joy from my children!  I've always loved children in general, but my kiddo's blow my mind with how cute, hilarious and fun they are.  My 1 year old is super cuddly.  He's always giving the best hugs and thinks it's so funny to tease me with kisses (meaning, he'll give Hugh a kiss, but taunt me by not kissing me and just laughing about it, and making me chase him down for a kiss)  It's a big change to have a cuddly baby because our daughter would NOT cuddle until she was probably 2!!
Our 3 year old has the greatest imagination ever!  She's always making strange requests that keep me laughing... like whenever I read her "Winnie the Pooh and the Big Bear", she has me change the big bear into a big girl bear, and I have to add female voices... ahhh.. fun!
This week I've not been able to sleep in even until 6:45am because Marybelle is so enthusiastic about the mornings.  So she's always in my room bright and early and wakes me up by saying the cutest things "Momma, the sun is out, it's time to get outta bed sweetheart". and she'll pat my face or kiss my cheeks...   I actually have turned more into a morning person a bit because I get excited to see her and hear what she says first thing in the mornings.

Anyhoo... it's awesome to be a Mom - I'm super excited to see and meet baby #3...  Loving each moment!
