{I love my life}

And today I'm not even being facetious.  

I DO love my life.  I love it despite what I may say sometimes or how I may feel in 'a moment'.  

I love it that I am able to stay home during this season of raising our children and experience every moment with them.  

I love the occasional 'sleep' in.  Okay, it's really not sleep, and we're still talking 6:45 am, but I can cuddle in bed with my kids without having to rush off to work.  I love that.  

I love it that I can stay in my 'lounge' clothes, aka pajamas all day if I want to.  

I love it that my little girls will come into my room and watch 'their show' and sip chocolate milk.  

I love the numerous laughs during the day like when Vivie takes her diaper off, exposing her cute bum and makes me chase her around the house.  

Or the way Izzie dances across the room while singing her made-up songs about dancing across the room.  I love her!

And the way Izzie wants not only her back tickled, but her arm, the other arm, each leg, face, and then her tummy. 

I love the way Lexie is so literal...so bright & inquisitive and asks the deepest questions about her Heavenly Mother and how 'our existence' all works.  

I love it that she cannot even think about going to sleep without having rocked with me and I love the way she gives me the best butterfly kisses.  

I love it that Monson will come and give me cuddles and still wants to sit on my lap and is not afraid to give me kisses or hold my hand.  

I love it that McKenzie has an intelligent answer to every question we ask her--even when she's faking her answer, she makes it sound good.  

I love it that Kenz will just pitch in and help when she sees a need.  

I love it that Brayden will call me on his way home from school to tell me about his day and chat with me about his friends and just life in general.  

And I love it that Curt sees when I need a break and is here to relieve me to run  away--even if for an hour.  He's truly a partner in all things.  And he's a large part of why
