I’ve been so behind in wanting to keep up…I keep saying this, I want to do this so badly, yet I’m just having such issues doing it.

Bensen is becoming hysterical when it comes to singing. I love it so much! These moments are going by so fast, I don’t have a clue how to handle it!

We sing Deep and Wide, he does all the hand motions and sings “Deept” for the entire song. God is So Good he points up and sings Good, good good. This is the Day, of course he chooses just to sing the word Day. This Little Light of Mine is still my favorite song because he won’t let satan “woofft” it out and blows on his finger so cutely! I just love him to itsy bitsy pieces!
Of course with all this cuteness also comes a new level of will and “stinkerness”. He’s really learning his will and loves to test me. Daddy he’s much quicker to obey then myself and I can’t quite figure out why. He still is so good when it comes to sleep/nap time. All you have to do is ask him if he wants his binky or to go night nights and he either goes back and stands at his crib or rubs his eyes and holds his cute little hands up to you for you to pick him up. He is so precious. He now loves to be outside “shoushide” and loves to play with these glass beads from a stepping stone I had out there. They are like his little treasures. He loves to play with the garden hose or his little bucket of water. His 4 wheeler is a favorite and he is such a dare devil on that thing it practically gives me heart attacks. He has figured out how to stand on the handle bars and reach for things, or he stand on the seat and presses the red button and rides around while standing on the seat. He’s also mastered standing on the handle bars and reaching his hands up in the air and clapping. Scares me to death!

So anyway, I guess that sums him up right now and all his sweetnesses, (of course one little blog post is never enough!)

Miss Jenavieve however, she is almost 6 months old already!  Where has the time gone?????

She is developing her own little will too.  We now call her our Screetching Teradactal because whenever she is upset or wants something she goes into this high pitch screetching fit.  She just started to get a light flick on the cheek for it and she usually stops, looks at you like “why did you do that to me” and then lets out a real cry of discomfort for about 10 secs.  Then she is usually onto the next thing to look at or try to pick up.

She is so good at picking up her binky and putting it in her mouth.  Her fine motor skills really impress me.  Great with toys and little objects and she’s good because she doesn’t put a whole lot in her mouth.  She still loves to have her blanket right next to her face which now that it’s summer months is becoming a problem with sweat.  Most naps she wakes up sweaty, stinky and wet, but oh well!

These kids are such sweet hearts!  I wish I could write down all the little moments that melt my heart each and every day!  Like when Bensen holds Jena’s hand or walks in the room with a BIG smile and says “Hiiieea”  the way he says Jena or Jenaveive’s big open mouth smiles and belly gigles!

Just the other night it was late,  everyone was in bed, Sean and I were watching tv in our bed and the kids woke up.  They both came into our room and layed in bed and watched tv with us.  It was the most heart melting moment!  I just grabbed both of my babies and held them tight and kissed their head and praised God for giving them to me!  How good He is to us!!!  A few nights later I was out and came home after the babies were already in bed.  I couldn’t help but sneak into Bensens room and give him a kiss!  Sean soon followed behind me and it was the sweetest moment standing at Bensen’s crib with Sean’s arms around me and we prayed together in a light whisper for Bensen and Jenavieve.  How much I love them and want to raise them to fear, love and trust the Lord.  It’s so hard!!!  Oh how much I love these times though and how I want to remember them and make them last forever.

If I can enourage anyone to take time out of there day just to enjoy the moments, do it!  Enjoy The Moments has almost become my new closing to any blog post I write now.  Just a reminder that there are a million little moments in every day that too often we forget to stop and look at, let alone embrass and hold dear.  I have a hard enough time remembering things on my own, but if I can just stop for a few moments each day, reflect and PRAISE GOD for all He has given me and these Wonderful moments I have right in front of me. WOW!  What a wonderful day it can become!
