Things I love!!

Things I LOVE about my boys:

-How when Parker is driving his big truck to the park or when we are playing at the park and he sees people coming- he calls them friends. "Look, mommy!! FRIENDS!!"
-I love how when Beckham wakes up in his crib and is crying- when I walk in he holds his blanket up for me to hold with him.
-I love how Parker still wants me to go everywhere and do everything with him
-I LOOOOOOVE how at night I will go in and rock Beckham with his blanket and paci and he just snuggles up so close and doesn't wiggle and try and get down.
-I love playing in the leaves with Parker
-I love watching Beckham learn and experience new things like play-doh.
-I love how Parker talks constantly to me- he tells me that he gets to eat gum when he is older (in fact, EVERY time he sees someone chewing gum.."when I get older, I chew gum!")and he wants to hold his new BIG underwear and how he has "two more minutes" and then he will go night night.
-I love that Beckham is starting to really understand me and will do what I tell him to do and is really receptive now.
-I love how Parker wants to "help" with everything. Feeding the dogs, cooking and stirring, unloading the groceries onto the conveyor belt, putting the battery into his big truck.
-I love how Beckham points off into nowhere telling me he wants "something".
-I LOVE how Parker is a snuggle bug now...he wants to sit with me on the couch to watch movies or read books. He LOVES to hold my hand in the car or on the couch. I love how sometimes he just needs to sit with me and do nothing...just to get that mommy time. FILLS ME UP
-I love watching Beckham learn how to get up on the couch! haha...it's SOOO CUTE!
-I love how Parker gets SO excited about everything. When we get in the car...even if it was from somewhere that was NO fun, he will say "was that FUN mommy????".
-I love how no matter how MAD Beckham is, I can tickle his neck and he immediately starts DYING laughing!
-I love watching my boys play in the backyard...pushing lawn mowers, filling up the dump truck with toys, playing in the sand and water pit and with the dog bowls.
-I love how when I have been gone without the boys somewhere and come back to get them, they are SOOOO happy to see me. Man, that is the greatest feeling in the world!
-I love how my boys LOOOOOOOOOOOVE their daddy....they just LOOOVE him....both of them.
-I love sitting on the couch, arm-to-arm, with Parker drinking hot chocolate and watching a movie.
-I love how when Parker was scared in his bed the other night- he wanted to pray!!! Oh, warms my heart!
-I love how when Parker wakes up in the morning- we go get him on the couch with a pillow and blanket to watch cartoons and he says "mommy do Bible study???"....yes, baby, mommy is going to do Bible study.
-I love my baby Beckham's smile....that baby is SOOOO CUTE!!!! He melts me into a puddle every time I see him....he is SOOOO CUTE!
-I love how Beckham can be in the heat of playing something or in the heat of a screaming fit and if you say "Beckham, let's go take a bath- or Beckham do you want to go take a shower?" he will STOP and start CHARGING towards the bathroom! He LOOOOVES bath time.
-I love the way Beckham smells....even when he smells like old milk and slobber- I just love how he smells....kinda weird :)
-I love kissing my babies....those cheeks and foreheads are SOOOO perfect!!!
-I love when I pick up Parker he holds me really tight around my neck and then plays with my hair.
-I love when I am snuggling close with Beckham he pats my back.
-I love how when Beckham walks he uses his arm to go back and forth to gain momentum to go even faster! haha! Soo cute!
-I love how Parker will tell me about something and I don't understand him and he will say, "I'll show you mommy" and come pull my hand and take me to what he is talking about
-I love how when Parker is putting his underwear on he tells me that the "tag goes on my hiny"...then after he puts his clothes on by himself he RUNS to show me and is SOO excited!

-I love experiencing life with my boys....I just love it. It's hard work, and there are so many uncertainties and there are tantrums and screaming fits....but man....having two healthy boys that I get to invest in every-single-day is such a HUGE blessing. The frustrating times are pretty frustrating, but the good times are so good that it washes all of those frustrations away. Just sitting here typing out what I love about my boys makes me want to go wake them up from their naps and just hug and kiss them all over.
