We have a little independent soul in our house. Most kids say "I do it" but Collin's phrase is "its my turn." Brushing teeth, picking out books, eating dinner, washing hair, getting dressed, even picking up toys at times. Collin has always a more independent little boy, much more so than our snuggler Jacob, but it makes me sad and happy all at once. I was thinking today, before I know it, Collin and Jacob will be starting school, than graduating, going on missions, and than getting married with families of their own. And it made me sad. I love my boys. I always worry without having girls in the house, will Mike and I be alone for the holidays some day? I see it with one of Mike's aunt and uncle and it makes me sad. I hope i can be the kind of mom that makes my boys want to come home for the holidays.

I used to hear the same thing from Caden, "My turn."
It would drive me nuts some days!!!
Hopefully this stage won't last long, right?
HI! I stumbled across your blog from a blog from a blog etc.. I spent 4 hours readin and reading from the beginning! I cried and felt the spirit very stong on certain posts, what an amazing person you are. so strong and inspiring to many people, I'm sure!
I'm a huge fan of the biggest loser, I don't miss an episode.. I would love to tag along on your weight loss journey, however, I understand that it is a difficult situation and you not knowing me from Adam I can see why you wouldn't want me to view something so dear to you. I'll send you my email but will understand 100% if there is no response :)
That is my hope too. I just can't imagine not having them around. I get choked up just thinking about it.
