Sometimes, I lose my patience with my kids :(
Sometimes, I get frustrated with my kids :(
Sometimes, I get aggravated with my kids :(
Sometimes, I get down right mad at my kids :(
Sometimes, I yell at my kids :(
And sometimes . . . they lose patience with me, get frustrated with me, get aggravated with me, get down right mad at me, and EVEN yell at ME! :(
Sometimes, I get frustrated with my kids :(
Sometimes, I get aggravated with my kids :(
Sometimes, I get down right mad at my kids :(
Sometimes, I yell at my kids :(
And sometimes . . . they lose patience with me, get frustrated with me, get aggravated with me, get down right mad at me, and EVEN yell at ME! :(
But, no matter what, absolutely ALL the time, I love my kids :) They know how to melt my heart and take away all the frustration, anger, and aggravation!
Just lately they have melted my heart as I -
- Listened to Madi give a beautiful talk at Young Women's New Beginnings for church. She is growing up to be such an amazing person!
- Watched Katie act as "teacher" at her annual parent-child night, teaching mom & dad about what she is learning at school. Katie is such a responsible and organized student!
- Had Lacey plop into my lap just because she needed a love from mom. She is growing up to be such a big first grader, but still seems to need to be the baby girl at times!
- Heard Ben's sweet words as he prayed, saying "Thank you that mommy can stay home and take care of me" and sensed his excitement when he first spots my shadow on our morning walks, proclaiming "There's mommy's sunshine!"
It's a good thing I love them so much! When they make my heart melt, I know they are worth every single second of aggravating, frustrating, and patience-trying moments. I love these babies of mine - and offer my thanks to Heavenly Father for the many ways they enrich my life and make me a better person.

Oh it's definitely the heart melting "good mom" moments that make the rest of the insanity worthwhile. So glad you're getting a great dose of good mom moments right now!
That is such a pretty picture of Madi, she looks so grown up! It's good they do things that do make our hearts melt. It easy to get mad when they, say, put gel in their hair, but its easy to forgive them when they tilt their little heads to the side and say, "sowwy, mama"
What great photos LaRae! I love the one of Madi...really a great photo of her. Thank goodness for the good moments, it's the main thing that gets us by:)
Awww, I loved that post.
You are very wise to write about all the wonderful "melt my heart" times. It is good to look back on them when you're having a not-so-good day! I love the pictures of your kids and seeing how quickly they're growing up. It happens way too fast!
You have a very beautiful family! Love reading about them.
