Our 2 babies are 2!



I can't believe they are 2!  I started this slideshow at about 10pm Friday night and finished it today after church.  I never did their first year slideshow and wanted to give them "individual" time so its a little long but you get 2 years in review and then an extra bonus section to really get a sense of the chaos from the last 2 years of having 4 kids under the age of 4-5.

I am so blessed by these sweethearts.  Ammon is such a mama's boy and definitely lives up to the title of "baby of the family".  And little Miss....(sigh)...(sniff)....she has changed my life.  Don't get me wrong.  I LOVE my boys but having a daughter really is different for a mother.  She's my mini-me.  She's my dolly.  She's my heart walking outside of my body.  Thanks be to my Heavenly Father for seeing me as worthy of such an incredible honor, responsibility and task.  It has been SO hard these last two years.  I have made many mistakes.  I have been over tired, frustrated, emotional, hormonal, worn out and overwhelmed.  But at the end of two years, I really don't remember those parts of it.  I can if I really sit and think about it but who wants to do that?!  What I do remember and cherish are those "perfect moments" of parenthood that make all the rest completely worth it.

Making this slideshow was a great trip down memory lane.  They were so tiny!!!  But the biggest thing I took away from reviewing the last 2 years is that I have really happy kids.  So I must be doing something right.
