I don't know if I could be as eloquent as they have been - or share just so much greatness about me - not sure i have that. None the less - I want to document the fun times about our family. I know there will be times were I am frustrated, angry, and sad but I hope to conquer that with more positive and happy thoughts. I know I have alot to be thankful for.
I want our boys to know how much I love them. I would do anything for them at any time. They are my boys...all four to include my hubby.
The neatest things the boys have been up to:
Hayden love to play with his brothers - it usually winds up with someone getting hurt. But completely unintentional and a sorry to follow. Tonite was no different. Brook and I were hugging (haven't had one for some reason in 2 days) and Hayden rammed into him. Spencer was at my feet. Brook lost his balance, I then lost my balance....I fell and took Spencerwith me who hit his head on the tile. Brook grabbed Spencer and started looking him over and consoling him. Me I just sat there in disbelief that it all took place....and poor Hayden went and hid around the corner. I believe in normal circumstances I would have been very angry that the end result was a brother getting hurt but I know he was really feeling horrible for what happened. I peeked around the corner and he was in tears. I just asked him if he thought that was a good choice and if he would do it again. He said no. I told him he should apologize to his brother and his daddy. He did:) So he loves to play -just a bit rough. He even reads every nite to his brothers...sometimes they just don't want to give up the book for him to read it. But he tries. He also has been playing Soccer ALOT. He played on a team this falland loved it. I look forward to him playing more in the Spring. I feel bad we had him in TKD for so long and hated it.
Spencer - He has shown a huge love for the guitar. If you haveFB access check out the video I downloaded. He was playing along with Sesame Street. It was the cutest thing. If he continues I would love to get him a good guitar and some lessons. Brook and I have no musical talents whatsoever...but I had some as a kid. I played piano in first grade, hand bells in 4th and 5th. Maybe... He is just so cute. No one is allowed to touch the guitar except him. That can be a problem for Jacob. His second love of life -torturing his brother.
Jacob - He is so out going. He shares my love of life. He says hello and good bye to everyone. He is a hugger and kisser. He LOVES mickey mouse. He talks NON-STOP. He loves to say - Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy. Mickey mouse. He does like to bite but overall is a lover not a fighter. Not sure I can say that about Spencer:)
I am excited for 2011. I can't wait to see what it brings. Our boys will be getting older, Hayden will go to his grandparents for the summer again - and love it. The twins will be having a great time at school and on their new playground...and hopefully be growing out of the hitting, biting, and pushing stage. I won't get my hopes up on the last thought but I have to stay the optimist.
Here's out with old and in with the new...
My New Year's resolutions:
1. It wouldn't be New Years if weight loss wasn't on it. I lost 10 lbs last year - the lowest weight I have been since Hayden was born. My goal is to get to where I was when I was prego with him. It wasn' t my best weight of my life but it was good. I may not have felt great at the time but I know I would feel great if I could get there.
2. Have more patience. Patience with 3 children and that our house is and will be chaos. Just make it happy chaos. Patience with my husband that I can accept that when he is home with the kiddos that NOTHING will get done except the kids will be in one piece. The house will look like TWISTER....The dishes piled up. They ate crap all day but they are happy. (happened today)
3. Get the kids out to more places. Practice makes perfect right? So more we practice going out the easier it will get. The kids will learn acceptable behavior in public and we don't have to be embarrassed. They do really well now but can always be better! I know that Brook doesn't like going places since it is soooooooooooo much work to get us moving. It feels like more work than fun. It will get easier. So part of getting out more...is getting Brook out more.
If I have too many resolutions I risk not being able to reach them...so I will just have to settle for 3. If I accomplish them - then hey I can make resolutions in July:)
Oh lastly will be to post here more...we'll see!
