I know I am slow...

Ok, so I have been telling myself for a long time that I need to start keeping a journal again. So many wonderful things have happened in my life and I regret that many of them exist only in my mind now! I am certain I have my Dad's memory because like him, I easily forget things that everyone else remembers. I take pictures on special occasions, but the wonderful everyday events that mean so much are just in my mind now...somewhere! However, I am going to change that now. Technology has left me with no excuse to keep up with these everyday blessings, so I will now be able to keep up with the simple joys of my life as a stay-at-home mom. I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband and precious children. Adam is my best friend, my sweetheart, and partner in life and I give thanks to my Almighty Father for giving him to me. My children are God's ultimate blessings and I can't imagine a life without them!

My firstborn is Mallory Brooke. She just turned 4, and she is literally our princess. She is spoiled and knows it. Last night we were eating at Burger King after church and an older man walked in and looked at Mallory. He said to her "You sure are pretty, you know that?". Mallory's response was "Yeah!" (We are working extra hard lately with the "yes ma'ms and yes sir's"! ). So yes, she is spoiled! She is a precious girl though with a very sweet heart. She loves her friends at school and church and loves playing with any of them when she gets the chance!

Jaxon is 19 months and a whole other world of spoiled. He knows what to do to get what he wants and knows what mood to catch me in. He has recently developed this scream that most times I don't put up with. However, there are those times during the day when I am stretched to my limit and when that scream hits my ears, I will do ANYTHING to make it stop. However, all that being said he is my sweet baby boy and I love everything about him. He is all-boy and brings back out the rambunctious kid in me that loves to wrestle around in the floor and give "horsey" rides on my hands and knees. He is also a red-head and that adds a little spice to the mix!

So with the two of them, life is never dull. Therefore I want to start keeping up with the everyday things they do....the silly sayings, the funny stories, the creative messes, and everything in between! Welcome to my world!! -Karis
