Little Ones I am thankful for

I am so gratful for these sweet little honey's they make my life so wonderful. I am truly exhausted by the end of everyday because of them, but I wouldnt have it any other way. I love watching Kael learn new things he knows how to spell and read his name and to me that is just to amazing to me. I learn everything over and I love that. I cant believe I am going to admit this but I love all the silly questions Kael asks me like where in the world does he come up with this stuff? I love how sweet he is. He is such a please he always just wants approval of his parents. He loves to be loved.
I love how stubborn my little princess is and that she is already her own person no matter how I try to mold her the way I want her. She already knows what she likes and dislikes. She is such a little girl everything has to be pink or princess and she will love it forever. She loves her baby brother, she loves to take care of him and clean him smother him give him baby ruth candybars whatever to make him happy-even if he will choke on it (: She loves to be pretty she loves her hair done and jewlry on and perfum on she is just such a little girl and I love it!
My newest little one is such a little love. You look at him and he smiles at you. He is just so happy. He loves to sing in church when it is quiet. He blows rasberries when he wants you to know he is mad. He sleeps through the night.-That is just the greatest thing when your an already busy mommy. Not like I give him a choice in the matter. (: He loves Kael he loves to watch his older brother and see what funny thing he is doing. He is the happiest little baby ever. I love him so much I love watching him do new things like sit up,crawl, eat cherios. It is just the greatest thing when your child hits a milestone and your there to witness it.
I love that I get to stay home with my kids. I couldnt imagine having to leave my kids everyday with someone else. I love my husband, he is so amazing, he is truly the greatest dad ever (according to his kids). He works so hard for his family. His testimony of the gospel is just so amazing to me. I am so grateful for my life. The wonderful ups and the horrible downs. They are what makes us stronger. I just thought since it was Thanksgiving time I would share everything I am so grateful for.
Another thing is such a wonderful family so close. I love having my mom and dad so close. I wouldnt want it anyother way. They help us out so much and I am so Thankful for them.
I am also grateful for friends who are always a phone call away no matter the time of day I know I can call them. (:
The last thing I am grateful for is a healthy little one growing inside me I cant wait to meet this child and see there personality. I cant wait to see what they look like and what they will become. I am ready for a crazy life once this little one arrives. I cant wait for the chaos of four little ones 5 and younger. This will be the craziest time ever and I am so excited and grateful for my Heavenly Father in blessing me with everyting I cherish so much.

Emma

Emma says the funniest things and I want to write them down so I dont forget them. Last week after church I asked Emma what she learned in nursery and she said "uh my teacher was just annoying me!" It was so funny!!!

Then yesterday morning Josh had just woke up Aiden and brought him in the hall to get ready for bath before church and he was freezing cold and Emma said to him "A A was you in the fridge?" It was so funny. She has decided to call him A A I guess she likes it better than his name. I just cracked up when I heard it. It's probably not that funny to anyone who reads this unless you know Emma and how she talks.

Kaels Primary Program

Well yesterday was Kaels Ice Cream Party for the primary because hey did such an awesome job on their program. It was two weeks ago right before Halloween. I had been practicing with Kael since we got his part. He never wanted to practice with me though apparently I am not that cool. When the time came for him to go up on stage I was just so nervous I was SO nervous for him. I had no idea what he would do or if he would say his part or get scared or what. Well it was time for the sunbeams to go up and do their parts and we couldnt see Kael or the other kids. Then we heard it, it sounded like Kaels cry oh no we thought is that Kael? But it was someone else Kael had gotten right up on the step looked right at us and began to say his part "Wherefore they first believed in the son of God" he knew his part. He was so confident, he did such an amazing job. We were just so proud of him. I just cried with relief that he did so well. He even stood up and sang all of the songs. It was just so wonderful. I wanted to blog it before I forgot and since yesterday was their party I thought it would be a good time to jot it down. Kael you are such an amazing little man your growing into such a sweetheart and mommy and daddy are really really proud of you!!

A New Calling

Well it finally happend I had stayed under the radar for quite awhile, but I was found. Last Sunday our entire Primary presidency was released, and a new one called I was called to be the primary secretary. When the First councilor came to my house I was just so nervous as to what it could be. During the week I could have around 9 kids at my house at one time because I babysit. My kids alone are a handful! Saturdays we have Kaels soccer games I just thought i dont think I could plan a lesson every week right now, or with all these kids at my house I couldnt handle being in the nursery, but I also couldnt turn down a calling I would just feel to guilty. Not alot of people in our ward know I am pregnant and my dad said if it is to much Amanda just tell them your pregnant tell them about your daily life and that you just dont feel you can do it right now. How could I turn down a calling though? I talk tough like I would say no if it were something I didnt want to do, but I really wouldnt. So when he told me it was primary secretary I was just so excited. Granted I know it involves lots of meetings taking roll through out the primary, learning all the kids names, and not to mention the dozen or so reports that have to be turned into people on a monthly basis. I really think I can do this. I already have a meeting tonight-which is game night (forr those of you who dont know what game night is I will explain later). I have another meeting tomorrow and a stake baptism on Saturday luckly it is before Kaels game so I can pretend I am super mom and do it all.

Ok so last year when we were living in Santa Barbara my husband Josh got pretty comfy playing computer games after the kids go to bed but he would play all night and hog the computer. It was really starting to irritate me! So we made a compromise where he could play video games on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday nights, but on the rest of the nights he has to do everything ie: clean up dinner, give the kids baths, help them brush teeth get dressed and so forth, giving me a much needed break.

So if my hubby reads this I just want you to know how grateful I am for your help. I know all of the sacrifies you make for our family and I truly appreciate them. Thankyou for supporting me in this calling and pretty much anything I want to do. You give me trouble but you always support me even if it isnt the right thing to do, you back me up (: -Believe me I get our family into pretty sticky situations like not to long ago I got our van stuck in the mud and my brother in law and his cousins had to help get us out. All because I said no go down this way I know its this way (it wasent). I love you Josh you are such an amaing guy. Thanks for doing such a great job of taking care of your family!!! (:

Halloween!

Well its finally over! Thank goodness. My kids have been having such a fun October they cant believe its over till next year. We went to pumpkin patches lots of Halloween parties 2 trunk or treats and then the final day of trick or treating. Josh and I are Zoo keepers my mom made us shirts that say the Barron Family Zoo. Literally it is a zoo here every day so we thought it was fitting this year. We went trick or treating in my moms neighborhood with Josh's sis Laura and her hubby and their rug rats. My kids had a blast, but were very tired at the end of it all. We look forward to next year. What shall we be? It is so much fun to dress up. I guess we will just see!
