This is by far my favorite picture of Tag
Working with daddy on mom's car...they fixed it!!
Ty loves to put on shoes of any kind...these are mom's hooker boots (as dad calls them)
Ty got into mommy's make-up...concealer and mascara
My future model
I feel like time is so precious these days! I take all of these wonderful pictures of the boys, but if I don't download them immediately then I forget about them until my camera is full and I am forced to download them! Wow, that was a long sentence!! The boys are growing up way too fast and it is hard to believe that Tag will be one next month! Where has the year gone? We have had so many fun memories this past year and I really can't imagine my life without these two wonderful and most of the time rambunctious little boys of mine!! I wouldn't trade them for anything. I just finished watching an Opera show (boys are napping and mommy is relaxing) and they were featuring Country Music Stars. As most of you know, I love to sing! I always think it would be so fun to try out for American Idol just to see what the judges would say...not because I think I have a shot at it, but to say that I did it. Do you ever have moments in your life when you just want to do something so you won't wonder for the rest of your life what could have been? I guess it would be called living with no regrets. Sorry, I had a little tangen there, back to the real world. Anyhow, as I was playing with Tag on the floor, I realized that none of these moments would be this great if you were some "super star"! Not to say that they don't have great times together as a family, but we all know that it is different! I love my children and I am so thankful that my life is the way it is. I know that this perspective comes from having the gospel in my life and knowing that there is a plan out there and that this life is not just some fleeting moment that means nothing in the end! I want my children to know that I love them and I am so blessed to have them in my life! I have an amazing husband and they have an amazing dad that works so hard so I can stay home and care for these two wild and crazy little boys! There are days when I think that I am just a "stay at home mom"and all the hard work I put forward to get a college degree has been wasted or I remember the dreams I had before I had children and how they have been put on hold and some have been permanently put on hold. It's days like those, when I want to come back to this post and remember that life is just the way it should be and I really do have the most important job in the world right now...raising these special little angels sent from Father in Heaven!!

that was beautiful Wendy! Perfectly said! I totally agree; it's such a fulfillment being a mom and having these wonderful blessings that are so darn cute and get into absolutely everything! ;-) I love the pics of the boys...they are getting so big. They are SO cute! Taylor likes to put mascara all over her face too!!!
You are too cute!
You are so fun and a great mom and friend!
I love those pictures of your boys. I think since Mark got his hair cut he kinda looks like Ty!
Oh.. and I love the hooker boots!
You are so right Wendy. I way just talking to Jared lastnight about feeling like sometimes I'm not able to "appreciate" the little moments...he said to me "Coty, it's so hard to appreciate the good stuff when you are in the everyday monotony of it, but one day when the boys are gone and all you have is the memories...you'll wish for the messes, the noise, the diapers, and all the time you spent devoted to their well-being"
Wow, he is so right!!!!
We are their Mother's and we get to do this for them, only us. It's a blessing. One that won't be without some regrets (minor) and many overwhelming feelings of satisfaction...every time our kids make a proper choice and succeed in life...we know we had first hand in teaching them.
Thanks for the Homemade Laundry Soap recipe...and for this post -so sweet.
Your boys are so cute! They are such manly-men, well minus the hooker boots and make-up :-) Glad everything is going so well! You make me so excited to be mom to little boys!
