Mother's Day!

My entire life I dreamed of being a mom! I love kids so I always knew I wanted to get married and have children of my own. I can't imagine my life any other way. My kids mean the world to me. Even on those days when I am ready to pull my hair out, they manage to do something sweet or funny to put a smile on my face.

Each of my boys are uniquely different. While both boys love the spot light, they have different ways of going about it. Ryan is loud, loves to sing, and be silly to get attention. Dylan is a little quieter, enjoys flirting, and dancing to get attention from others. Ryan is my class clown, Dylan is my flirt! They both have outgoing personalities but it takes a little while for Dylan to warm up to new people...while Ryan could make friends with a rock. Both boys are very active, I'm sure in a couple years they will have me going to endless baseball, football, and basketball games. My boys are very smart and will talk your ear off. As babies Ryan was liked attention but didn't care to cuddle where Dylan loved to cuddle and was fine with not always having the attention. As they get older it has changed a little...Ryan loves to cuddle now, but Dylan is fine to just give hugs and kisses and keep his distance. Dylan is a bit more attached to me. Ryan is very independent. Ryan is very apathetic towards others! Dylan absolutely loves animals of any kind, especially dogs! I love my kids!

I look forward to watching my children grow up to be adults. But I'm trying to cherish each moment with them now! I am excited to see how this new baby's personality differs and compares to the boys. I hope I instill all the right values in each them as they grow to be wonderful adults!

Post Office Tour

The kids and I went with MOMS Club on a tour of the Kirtland Post Office. The Post Master, Jesse, was very friendly and the kids really enjoyed listening to him. First the kids got to mail a letter, then we went in the back room to see where it went. Once we found out letter in the bin we headed over to stamp it and put it in the correct box headed for out of town. Ryan was the lucky one that got picked to stamp the letter...he was thrilled. Then we went to the very back room where we got to ride on the elevators that they use to get the mail off of the big trucks. Last we saw where each delivery person sorts their mail for their route (he showed us my Aunt Bealinda's station for sorting!) and we saw the back side of the PO boxes.

Even with the boys being younger I really think they learned a lot about mailing letters and they enjoyed the tour. It was simple but fun for everyone!!
