After getting some of the mundane household chores out of the day, me and the boys headed outside. It wasn't too cold today, about 55-60 degrees mostly cloudy. We went walking on our trail in the back of our yard. For those who haven't been to our house, we have an awesome neighborhood because of all the common grounds. There are acres and acres of woods in our community. Our house backs up to the common area and so we have a mile or so of wooded trails in our back yard. Perfect for growing little boys. There is a creek right behind our house that our boys love to throw rocks into and play with their sticks. I took some pics of our adventure today. Nothing really exciting to write about today. Will helped me fix tacos tonight. He is a real helper most days. He is learning something new everyday!
Tonight I wanted to watch the Bachelor which comes on at 8 o'clock. So, I went to my favorite rocker in our bedroom and began to try and watch it. Will and Jake kept coming in and out and finally, Will, looking very tired, said, "Mama, can you rock me?" Awwww, I said, "Sure." So, as I was rocking him, I was telling him that one day he will meet a girl and one day get married. Of course he doesn't have a clue as to what I am talking about. But he said, "Does that mean one day I can be the daddy?" I said, "Yep, it sure does." He said, "Mama, will you still make me Poppy seed chicken and chocolate cupcakes?" I became sorta teary-eyed, and said, "Yep, I sure will, anytime." These days are gonna fly by I know it. I am very observant when it comes to being around my in-laws b/c they are more emotional than my family. I have seen Matt's dad become emotional serveral times at family gatherings over the past few years; mainly when he prays before meals. I know what he is thinking....He can't believe the years have flown by....he is so proud of his family and so thankful to God for his wonderful growing family. I've also seen my parents become much more emotional over the years since I have had kids. They are probably thinking the same things Matt's parents think...they can't believe time has gone by so fast and that they are proud of Paige and I. I hope me and Matt will be there, where our parents are someday, praying at a table with all our grandkids and children. Knowing that these are good kids and that we did a great job as parents with help from Above.
