Before I was married I can honestly say I wasn't thrilled with the idea of having children. My mom would tell you horror stories of what my dolls looked like when I was a kid. Although once I fell in love with Jeremy and got married that all changed. Even though I don't really think I knew the extent of the responsibility, I was definetly excited about starting a family with him. We lost our first baby and then quickly had Kya after that. Kya was a happy happy baby....then he became a difficult toddler and now he is an amazing little boy. Even though we have our difficult moments....I can't imagine not hearing his contagious laugh or listening to his annoying whistleing everyday. Kya tries really hard to make good choices which tells me that he has a kind sensitive heart. Im so happy Heavenly Father let me be his mother.
Even though I had a little boy.....I was so excited that I would beable to raise one of each.....and then there was Lucy. She is a beautiful little girl and ever since she has been with our family I have felt like Angels are watching over us. Unfortunately I have had three horrorible moments in my life where I had a glimpse of what life would feel like if she wasn't here. Thankfully it has never been a reality and she is still with us. She is a very independent, sensitive and loving.
One thing I love about both my kids, is there love for family and the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love the way they trust Jeremy and I as we try to teach the morals they need to be good citizens. Yes being a mother is hard......but being a mother is also so amazing. I owe alot to my mom, who taught me so much. I wouldn't be the mother Iam today without her example.
