Mommy Moments

Mommy moments....ahh....there are many! I LOVE being a mommy, it's the best thing I have ever been a part of! I feel so blessed to have 7 great kids so far. God is good! With that being said...I thought I would give you a glimpse into my "mommy moments".....my real life.

The things I say the most are:

1. I love you

2. great job!

3. good morning....did you pee your pants? always said in the same breath....always fearing the answer!

4. Did that come from your nose?

5. Go wash your hands....don't touch anything on your way to the sink!

6. What are you eating and where did you find it? Oh...spit it out....NOW!

7. Ash, Ty, Vanna, Kyara, Cyle, Kate...I mean COLTON! Sad, but true, I cannot remember my own children's names. The one who's name I am trying to remember and say just stands there watching all their siblings come out of the woodwork to see what I want...while they patiently wait for me to remember their name.

8. Get out of the garden

9. Can I pray with you?

10. Come give your mama a big hug! Always said with a smile!

Some of the crazy things I do during my "mommy moments" are:

1. forgetting to do a headcount until we are 10 minutes away from home...then we turn around and get missing oldest child...

2. forget to ask if everyone has shoes on until we are well on our way....I think this is a ploy for them to get new shoes!

3. One time we had a man from church over for dinner and we sat down, prayed, and began our meals...a few minutes passed and we realized we forgot to give the man a plate of food!

4. standing next to any given child, having a conversation, and then yell thier name for them to come to you...yup, they are standing right next to me already...why in the world can't I remember these people! LOL....just kidding...I know very well who they are....lol

5. We sing before we eat breakfast....we sing "This is the day"

6. We love to have our children pray for our meals, not just Daddy

7. We don't "do" any youth programs at church....well, we do the Christmas play and Sunday School....but that's it.

8. We all cram in ONE small tent when we camp....children wake up ontop of each other...sometimes with a foot in thier face or an elbow in their eye....makes em' closer, right?

9. We give lots & lots of hugs at our house

10. It's nothing to find us running around our yard acting like goobers with our kids....life is FAR too short to be serious all the time!

Hope you enjoyed a small glimpse into my life as a mommy...I cherish each of these moments...what are some of yours?
