Oh, so fast!

I have days that I wish would hurry up and be over!! Especially the days when the children wont stop whining, arguing, ignoring me, and sometimes even fighting. But I have so many more days when I realize how loving my children are! I see them share, say they are sorry, and help each other! They are always ready with an abundance of hugs and kisses! When I hear them laugh and see them smile, my heart is full of joy and even through all the stresses of Motherhood and everyday life, things just seem okay! They are growing up way too fast!! Jaxon is 5 and almost ready to go to Kindergarten. He can write all of his letters and his numbers up to 100. (up to 20 by himself and the rest with a little help). He loves to read books and use rhyming words! Where did the last 5 years go?? It is so crazy to me how fast time goes by now, when it seemed to drag on and on when I was little. I've been told it only gets faster. Therefore, I have made a promise to myself, I will from now on enjoy every day with my children! I will no longer wish days away, even when there is whining, crying, fighting, dishes stacked and laundry piled up! I cherish my children, and will revel in every moment! They won't be little for long.....

New Calling

In November, I was blessed to be called to serve in the Primary Presidency. To be honest, I felt rather inadequate and more than a little nervous! But I know that when the Lord calls, it is for a reason! Let me tell you, I have learned more in the last three months than I have in a long time! Primary is such a wonderful place to be, and the children have a spirit that is sometimes indescribable! The Lord knew exactly what I needed in my life, and has blessed me so much! Not only do I get to work with some of the most wonderful children, but I am blessed to be a part of a Presidency where the President and First Councelor are women who I look up to and admire so much! I hope I can serve in a way that will be pleasing unto Him!!
