Kids, Kids!!! =)












In the midst of all the things in this world that make us sad, or unhappy, or guilty, or just plain bummed out--there are these wonderful, amazing, beautiful beyond words KIDS that just plain & simple make the world so much of a better place!

I have these 2 boys. Now, they are very rowdy! They run and jump and hollar and throw and dump and tip and break......and yet they love, and snuggle, and laugh, and hug, and give, and share, and smile, and talk, and learn, and make me such a proud happy momma. I have needed so very much lately the love of my children, and husband too of course. =) Today for Colby's nap, he wanted to rock with Momma, and so we did. And he fell asleep on me, which just doesn't happen often anymore!! Such a sweet moment, I just rocked him and basked in the glory of my baby boy snuggled up on me, sleeping so sweetly. And remembered again how GOOD God really is!! He gives us these little ones, and they keep us going! And I love them sooo sooo much.
They really are quite hilarious. They're new favorite game is "ghost-hunting"!! Where'd they get that? I dunno!! Ryan caught about 5 min of Ghostbusters on tv one day, and that's all it took!! They now come downstairs, turn the lights off, and start the ghost hunt! Ryan has his cowboy gun, and Colby has the flashlight! They're very serious about it, and when they find one they are sure to run upstairs & tell us!! =) And then back to the hunt!
Colbys' talking up a storm anymore, really hilarious to listen to him spout out all these new words, and even now some sentences! =) Such a follower of Ryan's, he has to be where brother is at all times, and if Ryan wants it--by gosh, so does Colby!
Their favorite movie right now is Alvin & The Chipmunks, and we end up watching....and reciting.....it quite often! They even sing The Christmas Song! =)
Ryan's gotten quite independent, and gets quite exasperated with his mother already!! haha! very funny kid. The other day, he dropped something...and said "Oops. My bad!" ?!?!?!? lol. the things they say. hilarious!

I just wanted to remind myself and others that no matter the circumstances, we always have something to be thankful for, and to smile and laugh at. Laughter really is a good medicine. Gramma & I were laughing alot at Colby eating his ice cream cone tonight! =) Making faces & a mess of his sundae cone was actually quite comical! Gramps would luv'd that one. =) Ice cream is also quite a good healer......
