"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Why I have children

 
One of the reasons I had children :) is so I could brag about them shamelessly, so here goes!  You may wonder why I let my daughter have a HUGE candy bar, at church?  Well, the little 5 year old memorized all 13 Articles of Faith and the primary president gave it to her.  Amazing huh?  All 13!!


Our little baby has outgrown her baby-ness, she is officially crawling, and thinks she is so smart because of it!  Poor Grace and Thaddeus don't yet understand what this means, i.e. her getting EVERYTHING they leave out and crawling all over EVERYTHING they are doing on the floor!  I have to baby proof my house again.
 
 
And last, but not least, Thaddeus.  His accomplishement is his first ear infection of the winter!  bleh!!  But, he loves lightning McQueen, so much he makes me draw him one at least twice a week.  No comments on the quality of the drawing please!
