Why we have kids...

Really, this picture says it all... they are happy and glowing and it melts my heart to see pictures like this of Bella and Ivy. Today I was having a really bad day (much to mine own making) but nonetheless, it was a difficult day for me to face. But, I sucked it up at church and put on my best happy face and tried to feel the spirit. I got to sit by Bella for a bit of Primary and really enjoyed hearing her answers to what was asked by the leader. I tried to avoid almost everyone in the mishap that I might break down crying or some silly thing like us moms do. But, I made it through and went home to Brad and Ivy. I was making lunch and Bella decided she wanted to be an early teenager and blast her kids bop music from her room. I think every single song had something about being happy, or getting over a bad day, or realizing what you have in your life. She was singing at the top of her lungs (cause that's what Bella does) and it made me realize that I can get through the hard times in my life if I just think of them. Thanks Bella and Ivy for making me happy today!

I'm sorry you had a bad day, but I thought you did great with the kids in primary - I really did love the Christmas medley.

I've never known a little girl who could belt out a song like Bella. She's so fun to listen to.

Sorry you had a rough day, but those two little girls really are angels :) Oh and I tried calling you the other day, we were going to see Tangled and wanted to know if you guys wanted to join us. We'll get together over the holidays. chin up

Those are the moments to live for and cherish! Children have a way of giving us the "big picture" to what life is about! We love you and hope things go better for you! PS- your girlers are adorable!
