sleep talking...

Bry had to go on a scout camp this weekend. I am so proud of my hubby for fulfilling his calling like he does, but I HATE when he is not home at night. I don't sleep. Every sound starts my heart racing and so I stay up doing things like laundry and watching TV. After Logan had fallen asleep I was folding a load of laundry and Shelby was still awake with me. She kept seeing Logan and crawling into his room. I finally gave up on carrying her out and just let her go. She crawled in and talked to him while he was sleeping for like 10 minutes. It was the sweetest thing. Every night when I pray it overwhelms me how grateful I am to be a mom to these amazing kids.





Shelby is all over the place now! I am loving this stage. She is constantly finding little things on the floor to eat which is making me keep my house cleaner. She loves crawling under this stool and hanging out. She is in her happy place when she is standing. And the smiles just keep coming.

Logan is into finding solutions to problems. Example: Today he couldn't reach his fire truck and he said, "I know, I will get the stool and get it." Every solution is proceeded by "I know." So cute. He also likes to do things "all by myself." We are completely potty trained (YEAH!) and he loves to go potty by himself, wash his own hands etc.

Love these kids!

The "holy ghost"

I can't find my phone anywhere... It is somewhere in the house and somehow it turned off so calling it is not helping. This morning I asked Logan if he knew where it was and he said no, but immediately put it upon himself to help me find it. He put on his "spotting scope" to see if he could help me find it and has searched high and low throughout the house. As we were trying to find it he said, "Mom, maybe the holy ghost took it!" I love children!

This is Logan's "spotting scope"

Logan also has a fetish with having things in rows, especially his cars.


Shelby's latest happenings... Playing peek-a-boo, being a little acrobat,(she loves pulling herself into a pike position), and just being so stinkin' cute!

P.S.

P.S. Shelby has RSV and bronchiolitis. It seems like Logan has been sick the entire winter. Poor kid just can't catch a break. My little Shelby Angel had been a rock star and hadn't gotten anything yet. Logan has had a cold for a few days and so generously shared it with his sister. Shelby got it a whole lot worse though. I have never seen her so miserable and it just breaks my heart that I can't do anything for her. I told the doctor I feel like a bad mom because my kids just keep getting sick. She reassured me that it is everywhere in the air and we have just been extremely unlucky! Yeah! For my close friends... I'll give you a call when my kids won't infect your children. That's why we haven't hung out in awhile.
