"Treat others the way YOU want to be Treated"

It just amazes me on how observant children are and the way that they interact... At only 4 and almost 3 my children seem very involved in everything... To what they say, how they act, how they love... it just melts my heart on a daily basis.... The unconditional love that they show is mind blowing! I am blessed. I am so happy that God has a plan for me and that he is allowing me to live it with all my heart and soul.

Last night we were sitting at the dinner table, talking about what made the kids feel "HAPPY" and what through the day made them feel "sad".... Violet tells me last night that it makes her feel HAPPY that we are going to have another baby in our family and what made her feel sad, was her friend chose to play with another friend over playing with her at school. She said that it hurt her feelings... So, we of course talked about being able to have many friends and making sure that Violet should lead by example and try to include her friends, even if she is choosing to play with someone different than her norm... That leads me to talk about what made her feel HAPPY! She then tells me, "Mommy, I really want a little sister... then she says well never mind lets just have a little boy... yea, Mom that's okay.. lets just have a little boy."

While this conversation is going on between Violet and I, Preston is chiming in, I want a "Lil Broddder"... I have to say, that this made my face, and heart smile so BIG :)

We then went on and started to discuss, baby names... Violet came up with some fun ones, Preston decides that Brother was a good enough name, for the new baby...

What made Preston feel "HAPPY" is his buddy Shauny... and what made him feel sad was his buddy Shauny... then they proceed to tell me that Shauny pulled his pants down and that he had an ant in his pants. Which made both of the kids chuckle. Of course we made sure that Shaun was okay and then all had a little laugh that he was doing the "ants in your pants" dance....

and that concludes our dinner... I want to stamp this memory and many more in my mind forever. I wish that every time I blinked I could just record everything and keep it in my memory bank!!!

For my Children, I just want them to live... Live with their Hearts open and Minds free to accept new ideas... Looking on our dinner, Last nights lesson was, "Treat others the way you would like to be Treated" What a great lesson in life to start learning at such a young age...

That's MY Nitty Gritty Truth,
Anne

Today started off like any other day. The Weiser crew woke up... We heard the babies start to talk, the big kids were in their room, talking and playing. Bill and I roll out of bed, to start our day. Bill is in the kitchen with the babies getting them breakfast, while I get Violet and Preston ready for church. Preston & Parker - 2013 The big kids and I take off to have a nice morning. We get to church, they are both really excited and ready to go to their class. I drop both of them off and then I go to "Get my worship on..." After the music stops, a little girl got baptized, a couple families were introduced as New Members of the Church and then the Pastors did something a little different. They opened the service up to a Q & A session. They sat there and answered unplanned questions that WE the PEOPLE of the Church, had. I have to say, It was refreshing. A few questions were answered and then a man stood up. He then asks a question that is basically this...  H...

I am sitting here right now paying bills, while my little Man Preston is sitting across from me coloring. I can't help but look at him coloring right now, he seems so innocent. I often wonder what runs through his little head. Well today, I got a little piece of that action while we were at the doctors office. I have a lot of Mom's ask me, "What's it like to have a 4 year old boy?" In honor of that question, I feel like I should share today's adventure. I spend most of my days, explaining things, asking Preston to pick up, making sure that he is playing nicely with the babies (when I allow for that to happen.) I try to encourage him to leave them alone, but I find that when I encourage him to leave them alone, it causes him to want to get closer and closer. This morning we had to go in for Parker's follow up appointment ( a true follow up on my POST, Parker shows signs of Respiratory Distress.) We and when I say "WE" I really mean.. Me, Juliana...

I'M PREGNANT!!!

There is something MAGICAL when a baby is laying on your chest sleeping. Words cannot even describe how much love is exchanged in that moment. I never imagined how BIG my HEART could feel until I had my 4 little loves. MY heart and MY love for all of them, grows daily. It's a love that shouldn't need effort. Unconditional love. The love that when they look at you and smile, your heart melts just a little more. After Parker's breathing treatment tonight, he snuggled up on me and fell asleep. I let it be. I enjoyed it. I took it in. My heart melted and I fell MORE IN LOVE with that little man! Possible you ask??? ABSOLUTELY!!! Mommy & Parker James I have people ask me all the time, "What was it like, finding out that you were pregnant." Here is one of the 3 posts I will share on this subject. The post I wrote called SURPRISE.... TWINS, is where I shared MY story on when I found out I was pregnant with Juliana and Parker. ...
