Loving every part

My oldest got baptized this week.  My youngest is learning to eat solids.  My girl is becoming a fantastic babysitter (I don't actually leave them home alone for more than 4 minutes at a time, but when I'm in the other room she does a great job!).  My middle child is as old as our oldest was when we moved up to Idaho! Sam is becoming a big helper sometimes, but mostly just the family comedian.  LOVE my family-- in every stage!

Did I mention that after nearly nine years my husband is hotter than ever?

Life is so good.  And I don't care what the negative, complaining people want to say, They're great when they're babies, and they only get better!  For all the hard things there are at least as many good things to balance them out.  I am thankful for five healthy, wild, brilliant children.  And I am SO, SO THANKFUL for my wonderful husband to help me teach and raise them-- he makes my life easy and all-around better.

So, Michael, Andrew, Michael, Evie, Michael, Truman, Michael, Sammy, Michael, Perry, and Michael:
 I love you with all my heart.  Happy Valentines Day.  You make my life complete.
