What Life is All About!!

I just got done reading someones blog, in my stake, who had their twins at 23 weeks and has just lost one of them and the other one is in critical condition as well. My heart goes out to them and I can't help but be grateful that everything went so well with my little guys!!! I have no idea why things happened the way they did for her and so completely opposite for me and I probably never will fully understand this until I leave this earth and things are more clear to me, however, I cannot help but be completely consumed with strong feelings today. I feel so grateful beyond words for many things in my life, but especially for my little family of boys. I love them more than words can express and somehow that love seems to grow more each day. I love the way Bode is so sensitive to me and always picks me flowers or tries to take care of me!!! I love Max's little smile and when he says "I love you, Mom" in that sweet little voice out of nowhere!!! I love Simon's two bottom teeth that stick out when he is constantly smiling and when Dexter is in a cuddly mood!!! I am so grateful for my sweet husband and that he is the best dad to my boys I could ever ask for! I hope that I can give back a portion of the joy that has been given to me.
On the twins birthday I was thinking about doing a very low key picnic in the park for them, but Beez said he would rather just spend the day together as a family since he had been gone a lot. I was glad he did, although we didn't do a lot it was fun to be together.

So Dexter does the butt scoot, it is hilarious and so stickin' cute!! Here are pictures of me trying to capture it:

Sometimes I will have all four kids hanging on me and I love it!

thanks for sharing. I don't understand others losses either when I am so blessed all the time. You guys have an amazing family and I love all the pictures of the boys. You and Beez are great parents. I am glad that we know you guys. You are doing an amazing job raising 4 boys.
