Harlowe was not having it, taking pics with Great Grandpa Roy.
Family Photo Op
This was Harlowe after we bribed her with candy. Look at that face, she is such a sucker for candy. Where does she get that from, ha. My poor Trystee, he is a trooper. This is their great uncle John.
This girl is such a character, I love her to death but she is a handful.
I know I have the same pictures over and over, but it is so hard for me to pick which picture to post because they are all pretty good. I guess I want Harlowe and Trysten to look back on this blog and not miss out on anything. I am not really big on scrapbooking or making photo albums so this is it. I really love blogging because I really lay it out there and hopefully they can see how happy, overwhelmed, stressed and elated we were having our little family.
My mother always says how good Fred and I were and how she cannot remember anything bad about us when we were younger. Now the teenage years, that's another story, ha. I think she has blocked it out of her mind because having children is hard work. I just want to remember every minute of it because I know my mind is going and I will probably say the same thing when I get older, ha.
I just remember when I was single and even when Dustin and I first got together, not really feeling fulfilled with my life, like something was missing. Until I had children, I feel so blessed that God gave me children and a wonderful husband. I think being a mother is the greatest gift that God has given me. Some days I do feel stressed and overwhelmed, like I need to just bust out and cry, but then I look at Harlowe and Trysten and I am okay again. Days have gone by so fast where I don't take the time to sit down and really thank God for all my blessings. And there have been days where I don't make time for my husband, I am so focused on dinner, groceries, cleaning and tending to the kids, I forget about Dustin. This year I am going to make it my mission to focus on my marriage, because it all started because we fell in love. And everyday I am so thankful for my life and my family.
