I came across this quote the other day and thought that it was so true.
Take time to enjoy the Little things in life because Someday you'll look back and Realize They were the Big Things.
When I read this I thought about my kids. Sometimes it is easy to say,"I will in a minute". there are examples of this in my everyday life. To me my family is the most important thing in the world to me. It is so important to take time with them while they are still little and while they still want you to,because there will come a time when they will not need you so much and depend on you so much and to me this is going to be a very sad day. Maycee asked me several times yesterday if I would play catch with her outside, I was doing laundry so there was always an excuse. Today I will play catch with her. Today I will do some things that make both me and my kids happy. I want to be more aware of these little things in life that soon will be the big things. I invite my dad over to eat with us quite regular if my mom is not home, and after we will visit, the kids are running helter skelter it has been a long day, all I want is some peace for a few minutes, he can tell I am getting irritated, he looks over and says," These are the best years of your life, when your kids are little and they still need you, they won't be here forever so enjoy them while you can." I love this and it is so true.

That's a great post. I truly agree with you. These are the best years of your life, but they are also some of the hardest. Everytime I rock my baby I think, she's getting bigger and soon wont want to be rocked, it almost makes me cry. Just cherish every minute because the days turn into years so fast!!
This is great advice Steph, Just like the new song says- "You're gonna miss this" Cary likes to listen to that. Sometimes I wish my kids would all grow up, but then I think I wish they'd all just be babies again! I miss Chesi being little, we just look at her and say I can't believe that in 5 years she will be 18 and leaving us for college! Thats WAY to soon.
Yes you hit it right in the head. I used to obbsess about the dirty footprints across my kitchen floor. The kids comein from the back yard and leave them all over it. Then I realized that one day my kitchen floor will always be clean and I will miss those footprints!!
That is so true!! It is so hard to think about that sometimes when you have 2 kids crying, and have completely lost your patience! I try really hard to give my kids all of the attention they need, but I know I can do better!!! And, it's so nice to be reminded every once in a while how truly imortant it is.
hey thanks for visiting my blog! i read some of your posts, and cracked up about the socks in the laundry.
sometimes i have my kids play "go fish" with them. they have to match the socks in the process, and it works out to be win-win. i can't do it too often though, or they'll see right through my devious plan.
What a great post. It's so true that the little things become the big things. There are so many little things I have done with the boys that I didn't really think they would remember. They do remember. Fuzzy is always saying to me "remember when we did this mom". I don't want my boys to grow up :-( I love having them around and will be sad when they are ready to trade me in for teenage things.
Dude this is wild...I actually found your blog a day or two ago, because your sis commented on my sister's blog. Crazy! How are you?! Guess what...I'm gonna be at Ruby's Inn this weekend! You should come visit! :)
