My Boys

Wow where did 2012 go?!

It was sure a fast year but loaded with memories for my family! The kids are just growing up so fast I can barely keep up with them.

Put them to bed tonight and cannot believe how much they have grown.

Nicky is in 5th grade. I look back at that age and his attitude questions on life and character make so much sense! It was like a turning age for me and he is definitely becoming such his own independent person. I can't help but to be proud. He faces life head on, and wants to know things and wants to better things. Not to forget how awesome he is at being the oldest brother. He is always looking out for his brothers and putting them first (most of the time). He is such a sweet gentleman.

Then Jacob in 4th grade. Man this kid really just cares about video games you would think but when I watch him with his friends and with his brothers, and when him and I have one on one conversations he is so funny and so smart and such a character. I can't help but see how much he has going for him and yet he is so easy going. He is not just a gamer like he pretends to be.

Caleb oh my sweet 1st grader. The one who we used to not let grow up. He is so so smart. and it isn't just his cute glasses. This kid does not need to be told what to do when it comes to school work or much of anything he just seems to figure things out. And always has a smile on his face. You can be so upset with him, and he gives you that smile and you melt. Ask anyone. He does it to everyone he meets. Caleb such an inspiring boy.

Brody oh oh Brody. Yeah he is something else no matter how much we will not let him grow up. He sure is smart and can definitely fool us with that baby face and silly speech. Man this kid, he will boss the boys around knowing he is the baby and can get away with it. He will give you kisses and tell you he loves you then throw in can I have a cookie after. Let's just say this kid has us wrapped around his finger and has our number. And yes we let him.

I am so in love with these boys and so lucky to be with them and be home with them even if they drive me nuts and vice versa. I have such a great relationship with each one and they just mean everything to me and I will remind them that over and over and over till they are old enough to realize just what I mean. So so lucky to have 4 amazing boys who I wish would just stop growing and stay this sweet and caring and innocent and cuddly forever.
