A few Things that I Love...

Just thought I'd write down a few things that I love.
*I love that I have to record Nascar and Football for the boys instead of cartoons. Even though the end is always the same, they can watch it over and over again. I think it is hilarious that my 3 year old can name most of the Nascar drivers. I really don't know where this love came from either. I also love that he is his own person and even though Dustin likes Jeff Gordon, it doesn't change who Jace likes....good ol' Jimmy Johnson
*I love that at the school Reflections Contest tonight, Dreyton only got a certificate of participation, but in his eyes he won. He came and sat down and said "I can't Believe I Won 1st Place!!" He was oblivious to the other 20 kids that were called up next to him and got the same prize and certificate.
*I love that I never know what I am going to find when I do laundry for two little boys. I search their pockets before I put them in the wash and have found rocks, bb's, mouse bones, chicken bones, live worms, dead potatoe bugs, lady bugs and tons of other 'treasures'.
*I love that wherever the boys are at in the house, if they hear their dad teasing or tickling me, they run to my defense and attack him. They are my best protectors.
*I love that I spend so much time working in my flower garden to make it look good, and whithin seconds the boys have picked the flowers and are handing them to me with nothing but love and excitement on their faces. There is nothing better than a cup full of your picked garden flowers sitting on your table....even if they don't have any stems on them. Oh yah....and dandylions are always considered a flower...not a weed.
*I love that Dustin is just as big of a kid as the boys are and every single night is a wrestling match, football game, baseball game, or some other game or competition. It is hilarious! The best entertainment ever.
*I especially love that I am only 24 years old. I guess I will finally have to turn 25 this year since Dreyton asked "How many years are you going to be 24 anyway.". Time to get older I guess.

That's all the rambling I have for now.

Oh my gosh! I loved this post! It was so sweet! I might just copy it and post it on my blog. (I'll change a few names here and there.) No one will ever be the wiser!
