Yep....Collin and I decided to throw in the towel on having kids. And honestly I feel great about the decision. I don't just want to be a mom, I want to be a really good mom. Throw another kid in the loop and it would make it a lot tougher. So I am soaking in the cooing and baby giggles. Thankfully people at our church keep making babies so I know it won't be the last I hear of it. Also Reese told me she is going to have 10 kids! So I will be one busy Grandmother one day.

    The Lord has blessed you with a beautiful family and I'm glad you have peace about the decision. I was way off on my thoughts as to what the scissors picture was about, I was thinking hair :)

    Hi Amber, I'm your dad's cousin. We have met a couple of times but you may not remember me. Awhile back I discovered your blog and have so enjoyed reading your posts and seeing the pictures of your family. You have a beautiful family! Your children are adorable and you and your husband look great together. I know the decision to limit your family was a difficult one. My older son and his wife have been married 8 years and have 4 children also. They are grappling with the same sort of decision. If you want a couple more blogs to look at check out these (your second cousins) solitary-elegance.com/gimletblog/ (my daughter's) and blogs.stumblingfool.org/ggg/ (my son).

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!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
