Being a Mommy of Boys

The other day Jackson told me that he likes that I'm the only girl in the family, and he likes that I have pretty long hair and pretty pink toes. Haha, so sweet. Since we have decided that our family is complete, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I will never have a daughter. I grew up with all sisters, have nieces that I adore, and always thought I'd have at least one girl of my own. Apparently, Heavenly Father had a different plan for me!

Being a mommy of all boys means you're extra special. Parker is really good at teaching the boys to respect, love, and appreciate me. The twins hold doors open for me, take the garbage out, kill spiders for me, and thank me for dinner. Tyce thanks me for dinner too, by saying, "thank you for dinner mommy, my no like it, my no want it." Hahahaha. Anyways, I am amazed at the amount of love and affection my boys show me. Jackson will frequently walk up to me and look up at me with his arms up wanting a hug. He is also quick to compliment me on me clothes, hair, or nail polish. Josh has become much more affectionate lately. At nights he just can't seem to get enough hugs and kisses. Tyce is by far my most affectionate child though. He is constantly telling me how much he loves me. He is constantly giving me hugs and kisses. He is constantly making me feel like I am the most special person in the world. Lately he has been falling asleep for naps like this...

I know that I was sent three special sweet spirits because I need that. I thought I would get it through daughters but turns out I am getting it through three BOYS! I also think I was sent boys to teach me that a little dirt, stink, and mess is really ok (although I'm still working on this). I have already learned so much from Jackson, Josh, and Tyce and look forward to watching them grow up into MEN! Weird thought. I also have high hopes that they will all marry girls that want their mother in law in their lives so that I can finally have daughters. :)

This morning the boys thought they looked pretty cute so they asked me to take pictures for my blog, hilarious... Josh insists on tucking his shirt in because he loves his belt...
I think Jack looks like a Morrill here because this is how Bart and Shane wear their hats...

I love my boys and am so lucky that they love me!


Well I'm off to clean because tonight Jackie, Tegan, and Mom come to visit!!! YAY!!!

The picture on the top is adorable. I was just thinking how bad I have been about pictures lately. I will say I am confused though, what are you laying on? it looks like there is a heat vent behind your head but Tyce looks like he is on a mattress. So confused. Because that was the whole point of the picture of course. I know, so like me to get hung up on something stupid.
