Maybe a little to Honest!

For the past month and a half I have been working out with my sister in laws. My brother in law Spencer has been putting us through what we like to call NFL Boot camp. Yeah! I don't think my booty, arms, legs, stomach has ever burned so bad in my entire life. He is kicking our butts into shape. My problem area I would say is my booty but it is looking so much better. I have had a lot of compliments on how I look and I am happy with with how I look also.

Well, there is nothing like a child to humble you. As I have said before Kylie is my brutally honest child. Don't ever ask her opinion unless you REALLY want to hear it. This particular day I had to hear her opinion without even posing a question. I was walking into my bathroom with her following behind me. Here is our conversation:

Kylie: Are you going to workout?
Me: Yes.
Kylie: Well your butt jiggles.
Me: ( Standing with my mouth open)
Kylie: You need to make your butt smaller.
Me: Really, thanks Kylie.
Kylie: ( smile on her face)

If that's not more motivation I don't know what is.
I don't think Kylie was trying to be mean, but she seems to notice any flaws. And I would have to say that my butt is not that BIG but, maybe it does jiggle a bit :)

Dear Brookie

Brookie,
What a blessing you are to our family. We all love you so very much. You are such a fun little girl and we are starting to see your fun personality. I love to stare into your big blue eyes. You always have a big smile on your face with your tongue sticking out. It is fun to hear you say Dada, though I wish at least one of my kids would say Mama first. I love that you are such a daddy's girl and it is so cute to watch you and him together.
I hope you will always know what a ray of sunshine you are for our family especially after the loss of your sister Kamber. I hope you always know how much Kamber loved you. She loved to play with you and hold you. She would show off for you to make you smile. You use to watch her so closely and I know that you are good friends and will be even though she is not here.
Remember we all love you very much and we are so happy to have you!

Love,
Mommy

Dear Kylie

Kylie,
I just want you to know how much I love you! I am so glad to have you as a daughter. You always bring a smile to my face. I love your personality because you always know how to make me laugh. I love how honest you are even when it is some thing I don't want to hear. You are a great sister and I know that your sisters love you.

You are such a sweet girl and you know how to make someone feel included no matter who they are. You have such a sweet spirit about you and a beautiful glow in your eyes. You are such a smart girl and I sometimes think you are so smart for your own good.

I love that you always give out hugs and kisses, they are my favorite! I hope you never stop. Thanks for being such a sweet girl and know that I will always love you!

Love,
Mommy

Dear Tayler

Tayler,

I just want you to know how much I love you. I was so excited when you were born! You were a beautiful baby and even Dr. Huish said so when you were born. His nurses said that they had worked with him for many years and they had never heard him say that about a baby that he had delivered.

You have grown up so fast and at times I wish that I could slow time down so I can savor each moment with you. Tayler you are such a sweet girl and a wonderful big sister. I love that you try to make sure that your sisters are happy. I love seeing you play with your sisters especially when you give them hugs. I love that you have a lot of friends and you always include everyone.

I appreciate all the help you give me and your dad. I don't know what we would do without you.

You make my heart melt every time you come to give me a hug and I hope those hugs never stop no matter how old you get.

You are my world and I love you more than you will ever know. Thanks for being you and I am so proud to be your mom!

Love,

Mommy

San Diego, Sooo Fun!

These funny pictures are at Sea World, last time we were there they didn't have this big play area for the kids. I think this was one of the girls favorite parts of Sea World. This was a big blowup bounce house as big as my backyard!

Daddy and Brookie!

Sling Shot ride! Kylie was a little nervous.

This is seal beach, it was so fun. There was at least 30 seal lying in the sun. Such a beautiful spot.

We had so much fun hanging out as a family. We absolutely love our girls and think they are so Fun!

Secret Santa

We have had a Secret Santa coming to our home for the past few nights. I admit we have tried to catch him but he is way to sneaky us. Actually we really don't want to know because then that takes the fun out of it. My girls look forward every night to seeing what the Santa will bring! We are grateful for this person bringing a little joy to each day during this very hard time. Were would this world be without the Secret Santa's. Thanks to who ever it is I don't know if you read this blog or not but if so thanks for bringing a smile to my girls faces each day.

We also have had the Young Women in our ward do the 12 days of Christmas in a basket for my girls and they have really enjoyed it also. It is the little things that can make all the difference! Thanks Fremont Hill Young Women!
