This cutie
patootie turned ONE last week! How quickly time has gone with him... and I have
adored every minute! I have been in no hurry for him to grow up, because after
having three others, I realize how quickly it goes by! I remember when Ashton
was a baby I turned his car seat facing forward before his first birthday. I
was so excited about him learning to crawl and walk. With Ryder I still have
him facing backwards in his car seat, he is still nursing often and I
almost cried when he crawled and walked. Don't get me wrong, I think it's the
cutest thing ever to watch him learn new things. I love seeing him wobble
around and point to things as he learns. I love hearing his throaty voice say
new words like "ma ma, da da, ca (car) and bye" But it is bittersweet...
because he is growing up way too quickly!! This kid is ALL BOY! He loves
cars and balls. He is quite skilled at kicking balls around our house. He is
going to be a soccer player! He is a little mommy's boy. And I LOVE IT! He
loves to snuggle and give me slobbery kisses. I love my morning snuggles with
little mr. I love how he passionately ripps my hair and face off and pinches
and bites me. I am just obsessed with this cute, chubby little guy. He is
perfection!!
Little Miss Mazzi
Pants is almost 5. She is our easy going, yet feisty little child! Matt and I
just think everything Mazzi does is adorable. I don't know what it is about
her, but shes just so dang cute! I think she has us both charmed and gets her
way nearly always. Yet for some reason does not seem too spoiled. But maybe she
is?! She is tough and logical. She is a very happy girl... but when she is mad,
she is really, really mad! She is kind of famous for her dirty looks! Mazzi
almost always asks to stay up late with me or sleep in my bed. One night when
she was being rude to me she still asked if she could sleep with me. I
told her "No, because you are being mean to me." She looked and me
said "But I am sorry, and I love you." She thought that should be the
end of it. Needless to say, she slept in her room that night! She is famous for
saying ," but I want whatever I want." Cracks me up! We all do kid!!
She loves to sing in the car and around the house I love to hear her sing Katy
Perrys song, "Roar." She is constantly coloring and creating
pictures for her little friends. She is quite the social little girl. She
loves playing computer games and watching backyardagins, sophia the first or
peter rabbit. She is losing her baby teeth (she tells me they're
wiggling) also makes me sad! Why do they have to grow up so dang quick?! Love
you my little ray of sunshine!
Tera- 8 years
old. Don't let this sweet, beautiful face fool you! This one keeps us on our
toes and praying for patience!!! We love our little Tera! She can go from
sweet as can be to very angry in a second! I have fond notes in her room that
say "Go away Mom. You are mean! I am never coming out because of
you!" I have also found the sweetest notes in her room that say "Your
the best mom ever. I will never leave you. I have a heart that will always love
you." So basically- she is a girl! Emotional! She has so many
friends at school and is always on perfect behavior at school and church. I
have teachers always tell me she is their favorite! Everyone really thinks she
is the most perfect child ever. And sometimes she is! I love anytime I
get one on one time with Tera to practice piano, scrapbook, shop for clothes or
play a game. Tera is a master tetherball player! She plays for hours a day She
is involved in everything at school! Choir, photography club and drill team.
She also does gymnastics. The other day we were having a conversation before
bedtime and Tera asked Matt who he liked the most. Matt said he loved us all
hte same but in different ways. Tera said, "Oh, like you love mom in the
kissy, kissy way?" She always makes us laugh with how her cute little brain
works. She is such a sweet sister to Ryder (and Mazzi when she wants to be).
She is a super sweet, super cute girly girl!
My Ashton, just
turned 10! He is such a creative, fun kid. I love his energy (usually-
sometimes, its exhausting!) I love his negotiations skills and his
logic.He is still a master planner and builder. He is obsessed with good food
and money. He is always ready to make a plan and has a great sense of humor.
Ash is still doing Tae kwon and is a ____ belt. He is a powerful kicker. He is
such a good brother to his sisters and to Ryder. He protects them and watches
out for them. He loves to play with Ryder. He is a good friend to others and is
very thoughtful when it is anyone's birthday or any type of celebration. He
likes to make a big deal out of occasions. Even the cats birthday! He still
loves video games and watching tv. His favorite video game is currently
minecraft and he is having a minecraft party in just a few days. Ashton is self
sufficient. He has been able to make his own meals since he was four years old
and he continues to cook himself some breakfast. Usually cup of noodles, corn
dogs or something else not healthy... but still he just gets it done! He
is a special kid who is very aware of other peoples feelings. I feel honored to
be his, and all my children mother.
