life...

i sit and think back to when i was little, what an amazing life i had! at times i miss being young. it was like i lived in this perfect bubble, everyday was amazing no stress and no real world problems! haha yes i liked my bubble. i am now grown and going thru the real world some choices im not proud of and others i am. It is crazy how times just seems to fly by!

Jaren is in tackle foot ball it and i love going to watch his games every sat! last week he had the dropped the ball 2x not a big deal but my little man is so hard on himself. i could see his head drop and shake like he is telling himself how could you! well the next time he had the ball he didnt drop it and ran it down and almost got a touch down! after the game i ran up gave him a hug and told him what an amazing job he did...he said i dropped the ball mom and shook his Jar i said you cant get down on yourself babe! everyone makes mistakes but you didnt give up and look how great you did with the next run! ya mom but i dropped it! his big brown eyes looked up and i could see tears forming..it breaks my heart to have him be so hard on himself..i just hugged him and told him i loved him then they pasted out snacks and he didnt mention it again.. about a week later we are in the car and im taking the kids to school! i had cut up apples and oranges for the kids to snack on, on our way jaiden says mom why do you eat healthy foods i explained how the good food helps fight all the bad things that get in our body! just like the blue berries that i call the time bombs after you eat them they go in your body and blow up all the bad things that get into your body and could make you sick! haha then i say it also will make it so your not fat like me!!! Jaren says mom you are not fat and you cant say those things about yourself you cant be down on yourself!!! i was shocked here is my eight year old teaching me the same lesson i was trying to teach him! he has such an amazing spirt! i looked at him and said you are right! ok buddy from know on if i hear you (he finished the sentence) or i hear you we will stop the person and make them say something nice about themselves! How did i get so lucky to have such amazing kids??? they teach me so much everyday and i cant imagine my life without them!
