I had so much fun yesterday making mud pies and mud balls with the boys. They were playing in the backyard in some water adding a little dirt. Then I thought we should make mud pies. As I was showing them how to make them I realized how blessed I am. I'm getting to show my children how to play with mud. It may sound silly but think about it. They have never made mud pies. I remember doing that every summer at my grandmother's house. Now I can pass that on to them. How great is that to show your children how to do something. I forget from day to day that we are teaching them life. I get so worried about them being able to read, write and count that I forgot some fundamentals are just that "Fun"!
It is scary to think about how myself and Todd are molding these little boys for manhood. It really make me watch my steps. They are such a wonderful blessing. I'm so thankful to God for getting to be a mother. I have experienced so much joy since having children that I have felt as though my heart could burst.
I pray who ever reads this remembers the simple things are the most important.

That was always fun!!
You have learned one of the most important lessons in parenthood. Give them "your" time and experience life together. Remember unconditional love..no matter what comes down the pike. You surprise me with your understanding already. You are a fantastic Mother, wife and daughter in law.
