Learning from my children!

There is so much to learn in life and most of it comes from me just listening to my children! I have learned to have more patience even though I wish I had more with them, talking, being open with them! Braden was in a situation nothing bad or major but it was where i questioned him about defending himself when someone is messing with him because that is the way I am and he told me" Because God did not put him here to be mean to people but to be nice to everyone" wow! So we of course went into this long talk about his brother because they fight like crazy which is expected I don't think we all get along with our siblings all the time and how people might treat his brother anyways it was a very good talk!  Braden has such a big heart and makes me so proud and blessed to be his mom! I asked God today in church to help me have more patience and be a better mom or just to show me what I needed to do and he does, he teaches me through my children! Just thought I would share this moment with all of you!

Swimming!

Our kids have never taken swim lessons they have just learned! I said this year we were going to do it and we have not still but I must say the kids are doing amazing! I think they are way braver then me! Braden reminds me so much of my Uncle Clayton he can hold his breathe for so long that it kinda scares me at some moments! Carter is like a little puppy right now but is getting better! Emma has made some big progress! At first she would only swim with a little tube around her with floats on her arms now check her out!

Another little camping trip!

So at the last minute we decided to go on another camping trip! We loaded up and went to Lake Livingston and stayed at a park call Northshore resort it was so nice! They had a pool, splash pad, playground, pretty sandy beach area but the best thing was it was not the ocean!  We ate, swam, slept, rode bikes, and relaxed! Met new people and watched the kids make new friends!
