Summer is here!

We went on vacation just in time to get back for SUMMER! Fort Morgan was a wonderful trip for us and the kids. It was nice to get away. As days go by, Ben and Jonna give me little reminders of how "big" they are. Jonna will be three and Ben will be 5 in July! Already?! Jonna she is one beautiful stubborm little miss or should I say "mess". She reminds me A LOT of me. And I mean a lot. She definately acts like the younger sibling because she wants everything her way. And really cares less what anyone thinks of her. She has mad finger snappin dance skills. She usually hears the beat of the music before everyone else does. We go to Church every Sunday, and if Jake isn't there, then it is me and the kids. I have this theory that even if right now, I don't seem to get as much as I could out of Mass. Because I am too busy correcting Ben or bringing Jonna out for a spanking and time out... if I continue to bring them and let them know this is part of life. It will get better. They will realize that for one hour its okay to sit still, be reverant, and give God thanks. It worked for my Mom and Dad, and heck they had a lot more kids to have to make sit still than me ;) Although Jonna is a bear through most of Church, my favorite moments of her are when she walks in and dips her hand in the holy water and makes the sign of the cross. She ALWAYS genuflects when she comes to the pew to sit. She sings/hums/ lalala's the songs along with her Mama. And she shakes hands at the time giving each other the sign of peace. So, my theory is working....right?!

Benjamin would prefer to not go to school and rather practice being a super hero all day. He would prefer to be sprayed with a hose, swim in the ocean, ride his bike, and pretend to take over bad guys. But he still loves to have Mom and Dad read him books. He will still twirl my hair in his fingers as long as I let him. He is starting to prefer more and more to hang out with Dad because well...Dad is kind of cooler than the demanding Mom. He started two days ago wanting to wear the cologne that Dad wears. He still wants more than anything to have a motorcycle or four wheeler. The faster the machine goes the better.

My kids are my absolute joys, but We do not know whether there will be another sibling yet. I know they are always going to have lots of baby neices and nephews. Little baby Ian who will be one in July gets tons of attention from Jonna and Benjamin. They are always finding things at home that they are too big for and need to go to baby Ian. I have been coaching Crossfit now for two months, and I love every spankin moment of it. God has given me lots of guidance this year, and he never ceases to amaze me on how he works. All is well in the Holee Realm!
