As with most people I know life has been crazy busy. Really I don't know why, but the days seem to be going by at hyper speed. I look at how grown up my boys are getting and it make me so sad. At this rate they will be grown and gone in the blink of an eye. Seriously can we just slow time down, so these years and fun ages can last a little longer. The last few weeks I have had quite a few reminders of how precious life is and how blessed I am to be a mom. Even on my craziest, busiest, hair pulling out, want to just scream day I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am so thankful to be a mom and for my precious little family. They mean the world to me.

So what has been keeping me busy? I am watching my nieces (ages 5 months and 7) 5 days a week. It is so much fun for the boys being close to cousins. But let me tell you it was hard to adjust from having 2 kids to 4. It was quite the shocker, but slowly we are making everything work incorporating 2 more into busy schedules and if I am ever blessed to have more children this has shown me that I can do it.

I successfully taught my first Sharing Times this month and it is so much fun. I absolutely love my calling and love the children that I get to serve. And the women that I get to serve with are such amazing examples to me. Primary is where I am supposed to be.

It was my turn to teach preschool/playgroup this last week and as always I just love teaching this little group. They are so much fun and full of so much personality. We were learning about the letter "L" and so we learned about Lions. We made paper binoculars and went on a lion hunt. It was a blast. I had an obstacle course set up and then put pictures of lions all over Jacob's room (the cave). They loved it and I think we hunted lions about 5 times. Jacob is really coming out of his shell. I was hesitant to do this preschool with him because he was so young, but it is doing wonders for him. He has been so quiet, but lately he has started singing songs and he is talking so much more. It is so much fun to see him progress.

These are just a few of the things that keep me busy. I have friends that are going back to work and I think of how much I could help financially if I did that, but I know that being a stay at home mom is what I am supposed to be doing. I will pinch pennies, play with my boys and have a blast surviving these crazy days. But most of all I will cherish every moment with my little men, hug them tightly and tell them that I love them cause it is going by way too fast.
