Favorite moment of the week

My favorite moment of the week this week was when Audrey wanted to paint my toe nails and finger nails. It was one of the best bonding moments I have had with her. It's so hard to explain the feeling of it. It was so cute because she would sit there and paint my toe nails and just talk to me about random things that were on her mind. There aren't words to describe how close I felt to her. I need to do more things like this with her more often. That moment just made me realize how much I need to make her my number one priority and not the tv, or cleaning, internet, etc. And that I need to be selfless and do things that she wants to do and not things that I want to do or that is more convenient for me. A friend of mine posted a quote on facebook that made me realize how much I need to spend more time with her. She seriously is growing up so fast and I feel like time is slowly slipping away and I don't want it to. It's so crazy to think that I am creating her childhood. The things I am doing now are things she is going to remember and I really want her to look back and remember the fun things we did together. I really do LOVE Audrey so much! I look at her and Gracey and still can't believe that I am so blessed to have them in my life and that they are mine forever!!!!

Brooke said...: What a great moment for the two of you! I am right there with you on needing to be more focused on my kids, especially Kinsley and teaching her how to do girl things and let her help me with things. From your posts I always think you are really good to let them help you with projects, and you always seem to create projects just for them. I should do more of that. Anyway, glad you had a fun time painting nails!; October 13, 2011 at 9:57 AM

About Audrey

Audrey was born at 4 pounds 14 ounces. She was just a little one. She might be small but she is a really strong girl. Audrey is a bit stubborn these days. She still likes to do things her way and when it is more convenient for her. She is very independent. We can't force her to do anything because than she won't do it. She is ready when she is ready and that is how it has always been since before she was born. She was born 3 weeks early, but came when she was ready. If she keeps this up, life is going to be hard for us (Brandon and I) when she gets older, it already is and she is only 3. :) We love her so much and would not change her for anything and are so glad she is a part of our family. We can't imagine life without little Miss. She has definitely kept us on our toes!

About Gracey

Oh , our sweet sweet Gracey. I call her Sweet girl because she really is so sweet. She was born a couple of weeks early but gave us a scare at 34 weeks when I started having consistent contractions and was dilated to a 3. Luckily she decided to wait a bit longer. When she decided to come she didn't wait long. I was in labor for 5 hours, almost 3 of which were at home. She made it so easy for me and oddly enough that is what kind of a baby she is. She is easy going and happy and smiles so much!! I love her so much!!!
