Motherhood

What is Motherhood? I have been thinking about motherhood lately and have decided that it IS a lot of work. Everything I do every day is for my kids and husband. These last couple of weeks have been especially difficult. Emma was sick with the flu for about a week, and now Taiylor is sick. Taiylor has been sick with a bad virus and stomach pains for 5 1/2 days now. She looks so pitiful. She is having a hard time fighting this one. I have been trying to do everything I can for her and I feel like I can't seem to do enough. From morning till night I am busy cleaning, cooking, chasing kids, cleaning kids, playing with kids, and so on. But you know I wouldn't trade it for anything. Trenton and Emma helped me today with yard work and they were having so much fun. Trenton even helped me clean toilets today. I am usually totally exhausted by the end of the day but it is the sweet moments when your kids tell you they love you that make it worth it.

On another note, my brother Spencer flew over our house today in his Apache helicopter. It was awesome. We were all outside and he flew about 500 ft above us. He is really talented. The kids think he is so cool to be able to fly a helicopter. He said he would fly over our house again, maybe I can get a picture then. We are so glad they are living in Boise again.

I just heard also that my other brother, Josh and his wife are moving to Boise also. I am so excited!
