Saturday, we made it!

Isn’t it always a nice feeling to know you made it through the week? Saturdays can be so wonderful. Today, Shaun got up at 6:30, with Ethan up, too. He and Ethan got dressed and left to help a friend move into their new home. I hope some seeds of service will be planted into Ethan. You just want to teach the best stuff to your kids, you know?

Kevin and I have been under a comforter watching ‘Winnie the Pooh’ cartoons. Brooke slept all night till 6:30, fed her, and put her back down to keep her on her schedule. Angel baby!

This is our darling at 4 months old. She is is precious. The boys continue to love her, and give her big hugs. I am so thankful to have three kids. Yes, there have been a lot of moments of the boys struggling over the same toy, constant reminders to not yell at each other, and such. I’ve heard that’s quite normal for young boy brothers. Shaun and I keep trying to be peacemakers and maintain some sanity in the home, but there have been a lot of playing together moments with the boys. That’s always wonderful.

I had some days of slowing down to have mommy moments this week. Sometimes Kevin gets so very worked up over something, and gets in a screaming fit. Sounds something like a scary horror movie. It’s kind of funny because he will be in his room screaming, you crack open the door, toss a sippy cup in, cookie, or something to calm him down, and shut the door and run for your life before he turns his rage on you. Feeding the bear:)

Well, I was brave and went in the room with him, held him until he calmed down, sang to him, read him some books, fed him a ding dong, and he got better. Thankfully, Shaun was with the other kids. It was just nice to be a mommy and help a little one. I think that’s one of the best moments of being a parent. Its neat to think that is how our Heavenly Father is towards us. If we will come to him, he will hold us and help us feel all better. Prayer is a wonderful thing.

A blessing happened this week. Shaun got hired for a part time job doing paramedic work for conventions. The company is very friendly and it’s a flexible work schedule. We both felt that this could be a blessing to go with school, when we can start that. It’s a start. Still have to pinch pennies, and pay bills somehow, but it’s a blessing.

Today, I get to go play photographer at a fun shoot for the local photographers in Vegas. There’s going to be a lot of models there. I try to do my hair, throw on a necklace, and pretend to be all professional, (yeah right!) while having fun practicing some more and meeting other nice gals with cameras. I just love looking for the best light. It’s so addicting, and once you find it, you can create an amazing portrait. Oh, it’s fun!

Hope everyone has a super Saturday!
