Rockstars!!

Okay, so today I am loving my children. You know, not just the everyday "I'm a mom and I love my kids even if they do drive me nuts sometimes and make huge messes and sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I could not have kids for just one day so I could spend a leisurely time shopping without 3 crazy kids whining for candy at the checkout line" kind of love. I am genuinely head-over-heels in love with my kids today. Since I am no longer working, I get to spend a lot more time with them and just have fun. We hang out at the pool, have picnics, and I have just been enjoying them. They are really great kids! They are funny and cute and my little rockstars!

Since I just learned how to put videos on my blog, I want to share with you a couple of cool things about my kids.

#1 - Callie, my 5 year old:





Flexible little thing, huh? This was a front-walkover, round-off, back walkover. She can do the chinese splits and all sorts of things that she did not get from me.

#2 - Caden, my 4 year old singing "Nephi's Courage" (Go primary!!):




Isn't he cute?? I love how he makes up his own words to the verse.

So sorry for the bragging, but I just wanted to share a couple of things I think are great about my kids. I don't want them to ever grow up. . they all still love hanging out with mommy.

Summer is awesome so far and hopefully it will just get better! (Hope my good outlook sticks around for awhile).



P.S. "The Time Traveler's Wife", one of my all time favorite books, is coming to a theatre near you soon --WAHOO!!

LOVED your post!

Enjoy them (as you are) while they are young. One day you are going to wake up and they will be grown (like mine) and you will seriously wonder where the time went!

Your kids are friggin' adorable. Does Callie take gymnastics? She looks amazing. My fave is Caden pronouncing "courageous." And Corinne looks like a flippin' movie star in that picture. I'm so glad you get to be home with them now. I love the days when I am in love with the kids!

Just so you know, every time I see the title of your post on my bloglist I start singing "I Wanna Be a Rockstar" by the Pussycat Dolls.

Since it is 2:00 the day of the Primary Activity Day, I figured it is the PERFECT time to give a reminder call. Or comment. Sorry for the procrastination. Anyway, can't wait to see you tomorrow at 9 am. (Really, I think we are looking at the opening song between 9:10 and 9:15, so there is wiggle room). You are only playing three songs. I Hope They Call Me on a Mission, I Want to be a Missionary Now, and the chorus of Army of Helaman. That last one you will play over and over b/c it is the entirety of the singing activity. Once again, you have no idea how grateful I am to you!
