The Whole Crew

I love this picture. It perfectly illustrates what a loving big brother these two babes have-what would I do without Hyrum?!

Then there's the Bug. He showers these two with kisses from morning until night. He is the first on the scene when a babe is sad to bestow a kiss, replug 'em with the binkie, & declare "Happy now!"



I seriously can't get enough of this baby boy, he is just the most beautiful baby & is the most kissable, cuddly thing!



Sweet is the best word to describe our Emma Em! She is the happiest girl & I can't imagine our home without her!

These two keep me smiling all day long

The whole crew.

I am lovin' life (& I mean that, I'm not just trying to "stay positive"), really lovin' it!!! I feel so much more complete & happy with my four babes surrounding me all day. Not that I wasn't happy when it was just Jeremy & I or when we just had Hyrum or when we added Hunterbug, because I was. But I just feel so much more complete as a Mom & as a family & I'm lovin' that feeling. I feel more centered & focused on the things that are important to me. There are days I don't get a chance to brush my hair, brush my teeth (don't tell my dentist, oh wait he knows) or go pee as often as I need to, but I really am enjoying it. It's not going to last forever, or even a fraction of forever that my kids are small & home with me all day, so I better soak it in while I can. I'll have lots of years to brush my hair, brush my teeth, & go pee as often as I want, so right now I'll enjoy being a mess :)

Megan! Look at that crew! Oh they are SO SWEET!

I have to tell you Megan...do you know what a superstar you are for handling 4 kids 4 and under?! That is a real challenge and you are handling it beautifully with grace and with such optimism. I really admire the way you have taken this all in stride!

You have such a great perspective and I can feel how sincerely you are eating up this time! Miss you too!!

What an adorable crew! I think it's so sweet how much Hyrum and Hunter love the babies.

Thank you for your last paragraph...it made me remember to just cherish this time with the little-ones because it won't last long. I can tell you are one incredible mother--those are 4 lucky little kiddos!

Your family is so wonderful. You are so blessed to have such great kids and a wonderful husband. I can't wait to be able to meet the three youngest kids. Any idea where you will be going once he is done with dental school?

Thanks, Megan. I needed to read this today. That's how I normally feel, but today I certainly needed the reminder!
