My Kids

so i just re-read my blogs. yikes i sound so pessimistic sometimes. no wonder no one ever reads my blogs. oh well.
i thought i would just write a little about my kids- for posterity sake.... ;) and because i love the little twerps. :)

Jerra. she is such a strong willed, independent, sensitive, thoughtful, sweet & beautiful girl. She is always trying to look after claysen and make him have fun. it is so cute to watch her put all her toys in bed, read them the scriptures say prays with them and tuck them all in. she has such a big heart. since she is just now starting to talk- we must repeat everything that she says. or she will get louder and louder and louder until we say something. it's rather endearing. and she loves shoes! :) *sigh* her mothers daughter. but hats are great and pretty dresses- wow.

Claysen. he is soooooo stinkin lovable. but he is so serious about virtually everything it is cute. new food, movies, toys, books, puzzles. everything you name it he is serious while doing it. if it is a single person event. when you play with him. his grin is so big you wish you didn't have to make dinner. and when he is done playing- he gives the best hugs in the whole world. i love it. but he is sooooo pleasant. and he is definitely my boy. :)

cute thing- we were at a fireside last thursday (the 5th). and we were standing singing a song. and claysen was in my arms and i had my arm around jerra- joe was at home working on the house. and they were just singing as loud as they could! then, part way through the song, jerra put her little arm around me, looked up at me and smile and sang even louder. it was soooooo cute. she is such an angel.

claysen has watched her throw tantrums. he will now cry and gently lay down. and grunt while doing it and they fake cry when he is down. then jerra pounces on him and tries to tickle him cuz "cla sa " is how it comes out- then he really is mad. it's sweet. but he has started to bark. so now when he sees lady he barks at her. they are sooooo precious and amazing. i am so blessed and happy. :) the only thing that would make it better is for my house to be finished. :) but that will happen- i just need to remember to have patients. but we are blessed and ohso happy.
