Our life is so simple right now and I plan on cherishing it! We are all home in our cozy home 24/7. Well except for Lando, but even he's been around so much lately. It was a simply special week for of little tender mercies and joy all over.
Lando:
He had an elective week where he used an ultrasound to find veins to stick IVs in. He did 27 and his goal was 25. He felt like he got better and was able to do some really hard sticks. He also was able to work out every day. He played basketball and football with Jax and did puzzle and perler beads with Ty. He wrestled Lukes and cuddled Brigs. He made me lots of energy balls and went and got me a coke for my migraine Saturday night. Which was particularly meaningful considering it was only 15 minutes before the BYU game started. I love him. He is the greatest part of my life. We went on a date yesterday during Luke's nap. The two older boys stayed home with Luke and we took Brigs on a long walk. Our kids are growing up and our life is shifting into a new phase and its so exciting. I'm so glad that no matter what phase we are in, Lando will always be the person by my side.
Becs:
I'm happy! This has been the best 3.5 weeks of motherhood ever. I just can't get over how lucky I am. Four beautiful healthy boys, a wonderful loyal husband, a cozy warm home, simplicity. Its wonderful. I've always maintained that my happiest time of motherhood was the first 4 months of Jaxson's life, well thats shifting. I will never ever forget these weeks and months and I feel positive that Kentucky will hold a special place in my heart.
Jax:
Loving his football cards. He was very stoic after the game last night. Brigham was the only one not in tears at the end of the game. Jax kept perspective, but he was sad. I cried too, man I hate sports sometimes and how much I care. Jax really wanted to watch football all day yesterday so he woke up at 6:45 and he and Ty cleaned the entire house before we got out of bed. It was wonderful. Jaxson is an incredible example and leader and we are blessed to have him. Also his teacher said during PTC that Jaxson is the ideal student. "He is flexible and happy. He sets high goals and achieves them. I can count on him. Everyone in class loves him." And on and on she went. I just responded, "Thats exactly how he is in our home too :)."
Ty:
I can't even with this kid. HE. HAS. STEPPED. UP. BIG. TIME. He is happy, he is flexible, he is helpful. He has been understanding when I can't help him. He has dutifully done online school every day, without complaint. He has cleaned up things when I ask. He has be happy. He has connected with Jax and Luke. I will never be able to thank Ty enough for how he's stepped up during this time. I can tell he feels different too. Grown up. He told me the other day during one of our come follow me chats that he felt the spirit recently because he's been doing what I asked him to. I feel so so so incredibly lucky to have Ty. He has been an incredibly wonderful. And example and a connector. During his PTC his teacher just talked my ear off about how much she loves him and how well he's doing.
Luke:
He's so hard right now. Oh I just really don't like 1-4 year olds. They are so hard! But I love him. He love his fruit, and nursery songs. He sings and preforms all day long. I think he has enjoyed online school because the boys are around more. But it also makes it so we can never ever leave the house, not even for a walk. On Thursday I could tell that he was really struggling so I took him to the park once Landon was home and we went up and down slides and tubes and ladders. Then we went and saw Christmas lights while we ate dinner. At the end of both of those things he gave me a big hug, grabbed my face, and gave me a kiss and said, "I love you mommy. That was re fun." It was a really special night. Last night after the BYU game I cuddled with him in bed and started to cry. He quickly grabbed my face, kissed my cheek, and whispered, "Luke loves mommy." When he isn't being a toddler, he is the sweetest light in our home.
Brigs:
Oh this boys is as special as the rest of him. I'm obsessed with him and want his growing upness to slow down. He is the best eater and has been sleeping pretty well. He has been calm when I need him to be and he makes all of us so happy. He has completed this band of boys and I can't wait to see what he teaches us all and adds to our home. But its time to go feed him so I have to go.
