flash backs

You know in movies when people are about to die and they have a flash backs of people or events that happened in their life? I am sure that I am not the only person out there that thinks of stuff like this, but there are moments in life that are so good you know that when that happens to you (if it actually does happen) that moment that you are experiencing will flash back to you.
We had just woken up about 9 am. When I say we I am talking about Collin and I. The kids usually get up at 7:30 or so and play. We used to have a rule that they weren't able to get out of bed until we got them, but now that they are a little older they will play quietly in there room and let us sleep a little bit longer.....good kids :) Anyway Reese comes in and asks if she can get cozy next to mommy and daddy. We say of course you can!!! So she lays next to us and I just am taken away at how beautiful she is becoming. We started talking about the baby that is coming and she has the yeah I know attitude. She sees that my belly is growing and that I am tired all the time, but I don't think that she fully understands that the baby is actually inside of me. Hopefully you understand what I mean. Well the baby was starting to kick me like crazy and I told Reese to put her hand on my stomach. She did and boom....the baby kicked her. The look on her face of amazement and wonder was what the MasterCard commercials would call priceless. Words couldn't even begin to express how I felt. Anyway....this will be one of those moments that one day will flash before my eyes again and give me joy.

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"
