My Top 10 Loves

With all the hustle and bustle of love in the air due to Valentines Day I was inspired to write the Top 10 Reasons I love the members of my family, so here we go!

Why I love my Ellie Ray Ray:


1. Her kisses!!!
2. What a great big sister she is! (I could ask for a better helper)
3. The way she cuddles with you in bed! (she hugs you and pats your back)
4. That she likes broccoli! (seriously what kid likes that stuff :D)
5. Her great imagination! (it's so fun to see her play, she comes up with some good stories)
6. She wants a puppy so bad it's sad! (we told her Santa only brought puppies to kids when they're 5. So she asks me everyday, no joke if she is 5 yet. It going to be a long year and a half)
7. That she calls me her best friend!!! (gotta soak it in now before the days when I am no longer cool and know absolutely nothing set in)
8. Her compassion for others! (she is always trys to comfort her brothers when they cry)
9. That she loves to read! (I hope she never looses that)
10. Her love of chocolate! (I can get her to do almost anything if chocolate is involved :D)



Why I love my Carson Matthew:


1. His laugh!!! (he has the best laugh ever, it makes me smile :D)
2. His kisses! (when and if he gives them away)
3. That he loves to sing and dance to music!
4. When he's hungry he says "I bite"! (I'll be sad the day he doesn't say that anymore :( )
5. That he thinks he is such a big boy, and can do everything the big kids do! (he really can't, but don't tell him that)
6. His dimples (can't see them in this picture, but he's got 'em and I love 'em)
7. His love of balls and cars! (he really, really likes to throw things, Matt's hoping he has a lefty pitcher in the family)
8. His determination! ( although in the moment it's not so endearing, his strong personality and knowing exactly what he wants comforts me for when he has to face the world)
9. That he likes to help me clean! (need to take better advantage of that one before he realizes that it is not fun)
10. That he can never keep his shoes on! (I can't count how many times that boy has lost his shoes in public, but it is so him)




Why I love my Hunter Thomas:


1. That he smiled for the first time yesterday! (for real, it wasn't gas)
2. His chubby cheeks!!!! (I seriously could kiss them all day)
3. That he finally takes a pacifier! (I was sweating that one for awhile)
4. His widow's peak! (the one thing, besides his height that he got from is Daddy)
5. His bright blue eyes!! (even though I ultimately don't care, I secretly hope they stay)
6. That he moans in his sleep! (he can get kinda noisy sometimes, but it's a good noise)
7. His frowny face!! (all my children have this face, so he is definitely part of the crew)
8. Rocking him to sleep! (a favorite past time of mine with all my children)
9. Kissing his tiny little lips!!
10. The great amount of love that he has brought into our family!!!



Why I love my Best Friend:


1. His sense of humor! (he can be a funny guy and it helps me not takes things so seriously sometimes)
2. His willingness to help others! (that's actually how we met he was trying to help me fix a zipper on a purse )
3. He is an amazing Father!!! (seriously my children are really lucky)
4. When he kisses my forehead! (don't know why I like it, but I do)
5. His laugh!! (it is great and very contagious ask anyone)
6. His cookies! ( he makes the best chocolate chip cookies ever, so can I blame him for not being as skinny as I would like :D)
7. That he truely loves me!!! (I can be a difficult person at times, but that doesn't seem to phase him, which I am grateful for)
8. When he leaves me love notes!! (he is known to do it on occasion, and it's my favorite)
9. The gold flecks in his eyes! (I don't get to look at them much with our schedules and the kids, but I love his eyes they are pretty)
10. Holding his hand!!! (another thing I don't get to do that often, but absolutely love)


I could go on and on.........but I'll spare you. I just want my family to know that I love them very much and hope that they have a Happy Valentines Day!
