{C}

Well this one should be obvious to anyone who knows Haydn. We will of course be starting the letter 'C' with CaRs. For the past year and a half Haydn has had a love bridging on obsession of cars. It is the most requested movie, he never leaves the house without one, two or more frequently four in his hands. We often comment that he carries his "fleet" with him. When Taite first started making noises the first one he made was the vroom of a car, most likely learned from his big brother. He had a Cars themed birthday when he turned two. If you ask him what he did that day he always replies, "I played cars." I was surprised to find that I didn't have any pictures of Haydn playing cars so this has been a good excuse to get some with his most favorite thing. I probably should have gotten him dressed cute, but these are authentic. Doesn't every kid run around naked on Sunday after taking off their church clothes?

Riley's 'C' word is ChRiStMaS!! Did you know there are 101 days until Christmas? Really I don't know many people who don't love Christmas, but Riley LoVeS Christmas. He loves the music, he loves the season, he loves the traditions, he loves the tree, he even doesn't complain about putting up Christmas lights. I love that there is a holiday that brings out the child in adults. I know that it will always be a special day and time of year at our house thanks to Riley.





Since it is Sunday I will add ChUrCh as another word. I am a pretty private person and usually don't talk about my testimony or conversion to the LDS church. (That is a strange statement considering I have a blog that strangers and anyone else can read) I guess talking about my children and reminiscing can make you sentimental. I just want to say that I am so thankful for my testimony and the gospel in my life and the lives of my family. It still catches my breath to hear my two year old say prayers, or think about the fact that I am sealed to my best friend for eternity and that our boys are sealed to us as an eternal family. For those of you that still belong to the church you grew up in it is difficult to explain. I have made a lot of wrong decisions in my life, but I am so grateful that this decision was the right one for me. Having such a strong belief in something gives me a strength and joy I never knew was possible. I will forever be grateful to those of you that played a part in my conversion and there were many. I know my husband and children thank you as well.
