Remembering

I just wanted to write a few things down from this week so I don't forget them...

{I'm not the best at writing in my journal, but for some reason blogging is more fun for me so I will share it here.}

*Paisley has a pretend dog named Sally.

*Charlotte's 2 bottom teeth came through, just a couple days before she turned 7 months. {Feb.17th}. And she just looks A-DORABLE with those 2 little pearly whites.

*Paisley told her first BIG lie to me this week. She came to me with bits of plastic pieces in her hands and said "MOM, WHY did you break this?" I raised my eyebrows and said, "Paisley, Mommy didn't touch that. How could I have broken it?" She kept saying that she didn't do it and that it was me. I told her that we need to tell the truth, even if that means we could get in trouble. And that we would get in MORE trouble if we DON'T tell the truth.

She then said, "I'm sorry Mom, it was me." "But, let's hide this so dad doesn't see it, ok ?" I said Paisley, why do you want to hide it from dad, and she said "because I'll get a spankin!"

haha. Anyway, good teaching moment I guess. And she is just so hilarious I can't help but love her even when she's fibbin to me!

*I always check on the girls one last time before I go to bed. I love how peaceful and beautiful they look. Charlotte on her tummy with that sweet ever so squishy bum in the air.

And Paisley, 2 blankets draped over her little body. The purple quilted one that was mine when I was little , and then her rag quilt on top of that. Owl next to her, and her pillow pet placed just so perfectly over her legs. Her drink of water and a tissue folded in half on a stool next to her bed. The girl has such a stringent schedule for bed time. We even have to stand in a certain place in her room when we say good night, and close the door just right, giving a "THUMBS UP" to her as we leave. She's perfectly Paisley and we love that.

*I love how sweet Charlotte looked at church this week. In her little pink tutu and her silly bow that she always pulls over her eyes. Speaking of her eyes, they just light up the room!!! She's just beautiful. {if you look real close, you can see the 2 bottom chompers}

I peeked in to Primary this week and just watched Paisley's face. She absolutely loves it and is eager to learn. This made me smile. Man, is she growing up.

I love Charlotte's BIG old smile. She's so happy and she spreads cheer through our home.

I love watching Wes help Paisley finish her dinner. He talks to her about her day and asks her how she's doing. I hope she can be as great of a person as her daddy is. He's so great with both of our girls.

I'm excited as I watch Charlotte attempt to crawl. I love how Paisley cheers her on and says "come on little sugar, you can do it!!"

Paisley loves to HELP. So, like any smart mom would do, I put her to work!! Dishes, and vacuuming. She loves it. And so do I!! {Plus, it helps her to earn pom poms for her good girl jar}

Paisley's favorite movie is Mama Mia, and her favorite song ..."Dancing Queen",

and "what's my name" by Rhianna... (don't judge)

I recently read this book, and it's helping me change the way I look at things. It's a great book...

These are just some things from my week that I wanted to always remember. What a blessed life I have.
