Sleep.....

"I'm so good at sleeping I can do it with my eyes closed!"


I've heard this quote over the years and I just love it.  When you're single, free and have no responsibilities, sleep is wonderful, and I was VERY good at it.  However, now that I have children, sleep is....well, I get it when I can.  I know my boys are older now, so it's not so much that I don't sleep through the night, but I very rarely get to have a sleep in.  The other day, I was SUPER excited to sleep in till 7.30am.  In fact I felt almost guilty that I hadn't got my boys from their room and was even more surprised that they hadn't come in my room to wake me, which is normally the case at 6.30am.
 
Anyway, this sleepy post is mainly for my boys.  I have been so blessed with great sleepers.  They still seem to amaze me at how they just fall asleep anywhere.  They really are "good sleepers".  I've never had to worry about making sure they're in the beds for nap times.  If I've needed to go out, I would and the boys would fall asleep in the car.  I would then transfer them to their strollers/pushchairs, do what I need to do and then put them back in the car, go home and put them in bed.  I promise you, they don't even wake up! 

So when this afternoon, after church, we were eating dinner and Roman was super tired, it didn't surprise me when he fell asleep like this:


My cutie pie can sleep every where! Just like his brother:




I know that not all the children I have will be great sleepers, so I will just have to enjoy it while I can! :)

Easter Fun

We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun.

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull mom...
