Random Kisses

After a long week of H being sick, and feeling a little cooped up in my house, JD decides to come down sick too. As I sit on our couch dreading another week of sickness, JD comes to sit on my lap. He usually is so busy that he only will sit with me a few minutes at a time, but this time he sits for an hour with me. Although he is sick, he is feeling very loving too. Out of nowhere he turns to me and gives me a kiss. I melt and feel an overwhelming emotion come over me.. Even though I am afraid of catching this nasty virus, I take it. I love it when he does this. Throughout the hour I get kiss after kiss, and each time I find myself getting teary eyed. Heavenly Father had planned this out long before I had ever known that H and JD were my own. Each kiss reminds me that I have indeed been so blessed to have these 2 come into my life, and that they are mine through and through. They are my blood, and I get to have them for eternity. I am a mom of 5, and I love them so very much. How blessed I am.

    I love those sweet moments. You're an awesome mom. And ummmm, I'm sick too. But I promise to still be there this week. I just can't sing or shout. So have a mic ready for me:)

Aspen "Hope" Morgan

We have decided to call Azzie by her middle name "Hope."  We have thought about this for a while, and made the decision because we are worried. Hope's bio dad lives only a couple of miles from us. Aspen is not a common name which means if he were to hear it in a store, it would be easy for him to try and come over to see Hope and Jude. This is also the primary reason we chose to by a new van. We just don't want to be easily recognized. I chose the name "Hope" a couple of years ago. It is very fitting that she has this name now. For 5 years  I have been "hoping" to adopt. My dream has finally come true, and "hope describes perfectly how I feel about her. Jude and Hope are the results of many prayer's, faith, and hope that our dream would come true. So blessed that it has.

This is how I really feel.

  There are so many times when I look at my life, and think" wow, how did I get here." My life is amazing! I have a wonderful husband to spend my life and eternity with. He loves me more than I could ever deserve, he supports me and our 5 children, he loves me despite all of my many faults, and he puts up with me even when I do something he is not excited about me doing. My life has changed dramatically within the last year and a half. I have realized what it truly important to me, I have decided that I can make mistakes and that people will understand and forgive me. I have learned how to forgive myself for the stupid little mistakes I make daily. I have learned that no one is a perfect mom, and that the expectations I have for myself are really just impossible, but that if I keep trying that is what is important, that is how we progress. I have learned that being myself and being an open book is actually a good thing. Yes, I have, and will continue to make mistakes or even ...

LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE? I'm trying!

  I am constantly reminding myself to just laugh. I come by this quite naturally, but I have found that as my family has grown that I am having a harder time remembering to do this. From the messes the kids make including rips made in the couch, our couches being unscrewed by our 2 year old, a 12 year old with a temper who "accidentally" broke the plastic on the front of my dryer, bottles of salad dressing poured out onto the kitchen table and chairs, eggs being thrown onto the floor, my 2 year old peeing on my carpet, windows with constant fingerprints and spit on them, a 4 year old who empties her closet daily to change her clothes many times a day, my makeup drawer is no longer organized and J has come out of my bathroom covered in 12 hour lipstick, H with lip stick on her eyes, art work with a permanent marker on my cabinets, walls, and furniture, you would think I don't watch these kids at all, but I do, I just can't keep up with them. I clean one mess, and find ...
