Random thoughts..

I was just laying in bed with my boys tonight, snuggling each one separately, and just thinking how much I love them. I was thinking back to funny things each one of them has done over the years and how many times they have made me crack up! I just wanted to write I few memories down while I was thinking about them.......

1. I remember Preston calling his sippy cup of chocolate milk "ku-nuh". Still makes me laugh. He called it this for a good 3-4 years, even though we told him it was chocolate milk??

2. The 3rd year of Payton's life seriously lasted like 5 years. Craig and I kept saying, "Isn't he like 10 years old by now." FINALLY he's 4 and its flying by. What's with 3??

3. Every time Payton wants to "watch" something on tv, he says he wants to "house" it?!?!

4. Preston used to call a "needle" a "meekle" and didn't want to go to the doctor to get a shot with the "meekle."

5. I was just thinking about how we went to Sea World last month and it was the most perfect day. We had the park practically to ourselves, stayed on every ride as long as we wanted to, and ate lunch together on a picnic table outside. Craig and I raced up a huge cargo net with our boys yelling and cheering us on and then slid down these ginormous slides, only to get the biggest electric shock of our lives! We ate cotton candy and pushed the boys in a little car stroller while they ate Cheetos and Barbecue chips. We rode the Log ride 5 times in a row and each time was better than the last. I remember sitting there in that little log with Payton between Craig's legs and Preston in front of me, just thinking how perfect this is, and when I would look back to see Craig with his arms around Payton and a big smile on both of their faces, I thought nothing in the whole wide world could be as important as my family and how lucky I am and happy we are!

I'm so grateful for my boys!!! all THREE of them!!

That does sound like the perfect day! You're so sweet. You have such an adorable family! And Tanner is 3 now, and I'm soooo with you. He turned 3 in August, but it feels like he's been 3 for over a year. UGH!

I was reading this and Madison asked why I was crying. It made me think back on all the cute things the kids do and how quickly they grow up. Sometimes the moments of having little kids seem to last forever, and then you look back and wonder, where did all the time go.
