Dinner Conversations.

I love when we are not running crazy and make sure we sit at the table for dinner. Last night dinner was running late. We had to get school supplies for the boys. High school is so different from Elementary school. They tell you what to get the first day of school and you need it the next day. Plus they supplies are way more $.

Anyway, dinner was ready @ 7:oo pm. Set the table and time to eat Chicken Alfredo. YUMMY.
As we sat the kids talked about the day they had at school. I new we needed to do FHE "Family Home Evening" so I tried to rush everyone. As I looked at them telling about their day and laughing I realized I wanted to sit and here more. FHE could be another day. We had a friends daughter over who said to me " Shelly I like this" I just smiled.

Avery talked about how much she likes her teacher. She also told us about a boy who already wants her to be his GIRL FRIEND,, say what?? oh no! not on the first day. Lord please help me..

Travis talked about his Teachers. His friends and girls. He also wants Time release for Seminary. LOL 6 am comes early.

Aaron was not happy to have a different lunch then his buddies. I asked him if he wanted me to get them to change it, he said no he is fine. Then the truth came out "GIRLS" he is setting at lunch with two girls..

As the kids put food away. We talked about the Teachers they have all had, Ones they loved and ones they don't. It was so fun to here Shelby and Aaron talk about the Teachers Travis has that they have had, Laughing and yelling WHOOT WHOOT!!

I then looked at the clock and it was 9pm. I was happy we took the time to just hang. I never leave my dishes in the sink but I did last night. As your kids get older you are sad but then as they get older you can still have great times. It is priceless moments like these that you hold onto.

I am Grateful for my family. I am Grateful for the Gospel. I know that having the Gospel in our everyday life's helps us grow stronger as a family and with it we can get through ANYTHING.

Softball

Avery loves to play Softball. She has so much fun doing it. Her team came in 3rd place. They all got along so well.

Avery likes to play 3rd base and also outfield. She was catching for a while. She says she still likes it.

Watching her reminds me of my Softball days. I love this game and I am so happy she enjoys it as much as I do.

Avery loves to be out side so this is a great sport for her.

She asked me if they could still play? I wish I told her. We should have Fall ball here.

Loss

My good friend asked me if I would be with her as she was loosing her baby. In no way was I going to let her go through that on her own. The Doctor said she had a hole in her sack and was loosing fluid. They did not think it was going to be a good outcome. They also said because of how far along she was , she would go through labor and it would be a still birth. After that weekend at the hospital she went home. She then asked me to go back with her the next Friday. The Doctor would induce labor at that time.
I also lost a baby and it brought back many memories for me. Some new feelings as well. It was scary and very spiritual as well. As a mom you feel your baby move, you start to think of what it will look like? Will it be a boy or girl? What will the name be? The last thing you think of is having a Still Birth My baby was just a week younger then hers. I did not have great nurses that helped me, hug me, sat with me or even explained anything to me. I never got to hold my baby, give it a name or take a pictures of it. This was the opposite for her. She had very caring staff that helped with everything. She got to hold her baby, name her baby and take pics too. I was so happy for her. It is hard to go through this and not having closer was very hard for me.
We cried a lot, but smiled too. We talked about Heaven and being able to one day raise are babies.
I do believe that one day my "Little Girl" or "Little Boy" Will be in my arms. I will give him or her a name. I will kiss and hug him or her a lot. Make memories, and Love every minute of it.
