Connor loves hockey. We are so proud of him for making the Comcast team for next year and can't wait to see his talent grow as he plays on this challenging team. So far for this season his team is undefeated and Connor remains one of the top players. Jaxson has told me that he will hockey when he turns 6. He has made 6 this magical number and has promised me that he will do alot of other important things when he turns six. For now, he is 5 and can't do it. (doesn't want to do it)

The past few months have been very difficult and I have had days I have felt so worthless and down that it was a struggle. I am so grateful for my children because without them, I couldn't do it. I had a day that I was in my room crying and Jaxson walked in with a paper towel and started wiping the tears off my face. I am so proud of all my children and think they are just wonderful.....all three of them. Connor is not affectionate but he has been so wonderful helping me clean up the house and just sitting with me sometimes. Carter gives wonderful, tight hugs that make any bad day better. Being a mother is the greatest gift I have ever received and I am humbled to be the mother of three wonderful little boys. Nothing I have done or will ever do will EVER be as special as being a mother. I am not a perfect person and I have made PLENTY of mistakes in my life that I wish I could do over but I want my kids to always know that they made my life happy. I have spent many hours crying and in prayer over their wellbeing. It seems that the children should need the parent to make it through life but I will admit that I need my children probably more than they need me. My hope is that my boys will look back on me one day as their mother and accept that I am human and prone to making mistakes but they will know the love that I have for them and know me for the true person that I am. One day my father told me, "We did the best we knew how" and I want my children to be able to look back on their childhood and say, "my mom did the best she could" If left for me to decide, I would have children until I couldn't possibly have anymore because I love this time of my life right now and the sweetness of these little boys. I know that my future holds great potential and my only goal is to one day stand and say, "nothing was ever more important than my children"
