My Heavenly Father Loves ME

As I was rocking my sweet Decker to sleep the other night the song that came on (the piano music that we play for him at night) was the primary song "My Heavenly Father Loves me" (which happens to be my favorite primary song). As I was rocking him I was signing the song in my head, the lyrics are as follows:

  1. 1. Whenever I hear the song of a bird
    Or look at the blue, blue sky,
    Whenever I feel the rain on my face
    Or the wind as it rushes by,
    Whenever I touch a velvet rose
    Or walk by our lilac tree,
    I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world
    Heav’nly Father created for me.
  2. 2. He gave me my eyes that I might see
    The color of butterfly wings.
    He gave me my ears that I might hear
    The magical sound of things.
    He gave me my life, my mind, my heart:
    I thank him rev’rently
    For all his creations, of which I’m a part.
    Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me.
And then the next song that came on was "Dearest Children, God is Near you" and I won't put all the words of that song, but the part that stuck out was :

 Dearest children, God is near you,
Watching o’er you day and night,
And delights to own and bless you,
If you strive to do what’s right.
He will bless you, He will bless you,
If you put your trust in him.

Now. Why in the world am I sharing these songs with you? Well, allow me to tell you. 

Tender mercies. Tender freaking mercies. I am SO blessed. These two songs have always been some of my favorites and have touched my soul. But listening to these songs shortly after our sweet baby returned to Heavenly Father reminded me of just how much Heavenly Father loves ME and is 100% aware of me and the struggles I am going through. I have such a beautiful life and an A-Freaking-Mazing support team... The amount of love I have felt is unreal- and it truly has carried me and I know for a fact that Heavenly Father LOVES ME and sent his earthly angels at the very moment I needed it.  I know that God is VERY near me and that he will and does bless me more than I deserve! I have learned to be better at putting my trust in Him. . . but this trial surely has proved to me that. . . 

Another little tidbit...

Stuart is always a little reluctant to to announce our pregnancies- while I on the other hand like to shout it from the roof tops and have the HARDEST time keeping it a secret... Stuart likes to keep it quiet because he doesn't want to have to let everyone know that we have had a miscarriage (if/when we do). I like to tell people because of the pure joy and excitement and I just can't keep secrets (ask anyone and they will agree with this). Anyways- I had to talk Stuart into letting me announce we were pregnant... and I am so glad we did!

"Honey"

Wahoo. I am on a roll. :) SOO this week- was seemingly boring, but looking back at the pictures I took- maybe it wasn't? Its been a fun week! Let's start out with my goals for this last week- well if you remember it was to read the scriptures with my boys every day-- sadly I only did this 2 days this week. SO this will be my goal for this week as well. My second goal was to make my bed every day- I am HAPPY to report that I did much better with this goal. I made the bed 5 out of the 7 days. :) But I want to keep this goal for another week as well. Wish me Luck! :) Carter tarter pants... He has said some pretty funny things this week. First and foremost -- he has started calling me HONEY. It drives me bonkers and he thinks it is hilarious.... Stuart thinks it is funny too... gah. Another thing is when he is playing pretend he refers to himself as Carter Turnbow. So I asked him why he was saying "Turnbow" for his last name and he said so he could be just like Grandm...

Update on Summer

Well- I did it again. I stopped posting, life got in the way. I can't believe how fast the summer went, I mean, really. I wish I could say it was because we went on super fun vacations and to the pool all the time... because that certainly is not the case. I am a pretty boring mom. :) We stayed home a lot and went on a lot of bike rides. I wish I would have gone swimming more with the littles, but I was too nervous to take them on my own. Both Carter and Decker love the water and have no fear- which makes for one anxious mama at the pool. The other part is I was not feeling well because of the pregnancy-- but I will do a separate post on that next. So we played a lot inside and worked on the yard. . . oh the yard! I just have to say that its looking amazing! All of Stuart's hard work paid off. The grass is coming in and is simply beautiful!!!! We have been clear to walk on the front and even mow it! The back is a little bit slower in coming ...

What would you do for a free cookie?

I just have to post this so I don't forget this. What I am about to relate is 100% true and I am, honestly, still in shock from it all. . . At the end of last week Carter and our little neighbor friend (he is a few years older than Carter) were having a great time playing. They decided to go and ride bikes. Now, since Carter is only 4, we really limit where he is allowed to ride his bike without a parent. (I know I am kind of like a helicopter parent- but he is ONLY 4!) So when the boys headed out I reminded him to stay on our street and out of the street and to let me know where he would be at all times. . . That last I knew- they were going to be at his friends house... So when his mom texted me and asked me to send him home--- you know me--- I went into FULL panic mode. Went outside and was looking up and down the street and they were no where to be seen. Now full panic mode was pushed into border line panic attack mode. . . So about 30  okay 8 minutes later here came Carter d...
