I was watching my kids play outside last night. It was fun. They giggle and laugh and pretend and do all those things that kids should do. As I watched them, I realized that "this too shall pass:" My oldest is going to be 14 on August 4th. 14!!! Time fly's by too fast. I remember the day that Lexie took her first steps and how she used to be able to mimic every referee call for basketball. That was years ago. How Taya used to fumble up all her words..... bouncy ball and commote (for remote) other cute things like that. Brie just used to be so little and didn't do much at all..... she can crawl now. Even my little three year old is so big now. Potty training (finally...yah!) and saying so many more sentences and making sense.

I guess what I've learned is that we should grab each day as it comes. Make memories that will remain with you, always. To write in my journal EVERY DAY, so that I can remember those things that we did that are worth remembering. One day, I will be old and grey and these memories won't come to my mind anymore. I'll need to remember. Let's hope I continue to write down and take pictures of these things so that I and my kids will REMEMBER.

Another good talk to watch is
I was reminded today of something that I don't do enough in my life. Watch this video...it was inspiring to me.
