Why Do Women Cry

I loved this so I thought I would share it

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
– Genesis 2:18

 God did a great thing for Man when He made Woman. The beauty and strength of women is a blessing for all the world. This wonderful story tells how God gave women those and many other phenomenal traits including a tear to shed.

Why Do Women Cry

“Why are you crying?”, a young boy asked his Mom.
“Because I’m a woman,” she told him. “I don’t understand,” he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, “And you never will, but that’s O.K.”… Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?”. “All women cry for no reason,” was all his Dad could say… The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God and when God got back to him, he asked “God, why do women cry so easily?”
GOD answered…
When I made woman, I decided she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet, made her arms gentle enough to give comfort…I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come even from her own children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue without complaining…I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances. Even when her child has hurt her badly…
She has the very special power to make a child’s boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager’s anxieties and fears…I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart…I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and it is her only weakness.
When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good.

Tailgate party

As a family we decided to take a step back in time and go to the UNR homecoming tailgate party. It was so much fun, there was tons of free food and the UNR marching band show. It was good to look back on our fond memories of our time at UNR.

 beautiful view of the campus.

 Josh and Eric thought this was really cool.

 This was taken just after we finished up lunch. Which is why Josh has chocolate all over his mouth.

Bouncing Princess

Our friends gave us a baby bouncer today and Eden loves it! So do the boys for that matter but not for themselves it is all about Eden for them most of the time, they are very devoted little brothers and I'm not being sarcastic.

 So happy in her bouncing chair

 Josh learned this from school

still not sure about it.

 Cheeeeeese 

Such a major goofy.

Baby Fun

My friend Tirza came over to play this morning and we were able to get our little bundles of joy together. 

birthday and apple hill

My birthday was on Friday and it was a fun day and then we left for Folsom to be with family. Saturday we went up to apple hill and enjoyed a fun afternoon and then we came back and had dairy free apple cake. It was sooooooo yummy. Eden was a good girl and the boys had a lot of fun with their cousin. Enjoy the pictures.

 Eric, Josh and Eden ready for the season

 Eden and Mommy, this is just about how I carry her around all day every day around the house.

 We found real life super heroes and they let us take pictures of them and their truck.

 Eric driving the fire truck. He was a little scared to be up that high.

 Josh the fearless, he loved pretending to drive the fire truck.

Mommy and Eden

My pretty little girl all ready for Halloween.

 Happy birthday to me, and no I don't feel 27 I still feel like I'm 23.

 My big girl, She was so pleased with herself for sitting in the big kids chair.

 that face says I'm ready to eat, to bad she has to wait to eat table foods for several months.

New coats

We pulled another all nighter with Eden as we continued to work on getting her to sleep in her crib. She's a little more stubborn than her brothers. So while pulling the all nighter I was able to listen to the howling of the wind and swishing of the rain against the windows. It made for a tough night and even tougher morning. Josh didn't like what I had picked out for him today and his  t-shirt that he chose was not going to cut it for the cold weather. So I broke out the new winter coats, that dried some dramatic tears. I'm really glad I put everyones coats on because as we were walking to school I looked at all the kids wearing little sweat shirts and complaining about how cold they were. Eric is still complaining about mommy not letting him play on the toys. Next wet day I'll put him in the stroller so he can't fight me.

Josh was still being Mr. drama king in this picture but he was happy when he got to school and discovered that it was wear nice clothes to school day and not Halloween costumes day. That was the root of his fighting me this morning. Eric on the other hand was all smiles when I put his new marshmallow coat on him.

Eden looked super cute in her pink bear coat.

Guilty

Guilty

good thing is that most of the mess was on him

tutu

As a baby gift my mother inlaw gave Eden a dress with a little tutu skirt on it and today we put it on her. She is soooooooo cute if I do say so my self but I'm a bit bias when it comes to Eden. Eden is so lucky she has two Grandmas that love her so much.

Eden's first tutu

Buddy walk

We have some special friends that had a daughter with Down syndrome. As of last year we started coming out to the buddy walk to try and support our friends. This year was a fun year they had a bounce house, face painting, balloon shaping and donuts. The boys had a really good time. Afterwards we headed home and watched general conference. At about 12:00 Jason took off to pick his uncle and Aunt up at the airport. We visited with them for a little while then said our good buys to them as they drove off with the truck that has been sitting on our driveway for the last couple of weeks. We then finished general conference and found ourselves edified. Today was a very good day and I look forward to tomorrow.

 I know what you are going to say, Eric's shirt is to big, well that was the smallest shirt they had and he looks cute in anything.

Eden

Eden had her two month check up and this is where she is. She weighs 9lbs 1oz and is 22in. long. The Dr. placed her in the 10th percentile only because compared to other babies her age she is small, but he expects her to catch up quickly at the rate she is growing. She has a small head that was the Dr.'s words. She did end up getting her vaccinations today only because the Dr's office received a grant that made it more affordable and more convenient. Having to make another trip out is difficult when we only have one car. So my beautiful little princess is doing well and we hope to be able to introduce dairy back into my diet when she is about four months. Though no dairy has been the most successful diet I have ever been on, I've lost 10lbs because of it. Eden also has to learn to sleep in her crib as the Dr. told us no more sleeping in the reclining high chair at night, so tonight might be a long night.

Salsa

Every year we can salsa but this year was special because for the first year we were able to grow our own jalapenos. It was a small batch this year because we still have several jars from last year so the rest of the tomatoes in our garden will be going to spaghetti sauce.

 The jalapeno that Jason is pointing to came from our garden and the one next to it came from the store. Ours looks so much better.

  Sealed and ready to enjoy. Jason really likes it this year because thanks to garden fresh products it tastes so much better but watch out it's a bit spicier.

Pretty Girl

I keep finding all these cute dresses that people gave me but I forgot all about. Eden was a happy girl and her personality is beginning to really shine, she is a very happy little girl.

Toddler's Rules of Possession

I found this on a friend's site and thought I should share it with others because it is really funny and so true if you have a toddler.

Toddler’s Rules of Possession

1. If I like it, it’s mine.

2. If it’s in my hand, it’s mine.

3. If I can take it from you, it’s mine.

4. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.

5. If it’s mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway.

6. If I’m doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.

7. If it looks just like mine, it is mine.

8. If I saw it first, it’s mine.

9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.

10. If it’s broken, it’s yours.

look familiar

I took a picture of Josh and Eden and after taking it I realized it looked alot like a picture that I took of Jason and Eden.

I guess that when she wants Mommy she has no patience with anyone else.

My little lady

Just as Jason came home for lunch both the little ones decided that they were tired and cranky so after putting them to bed and finishing my project I looked over to see my beautiful little lady folding her hands, so of course I just had to take a picture.

boy tea party

Last night I came home from the gym to Josh and Eric sitting down for what they called their boy tea party. It was very inventive and the boys had a good time serving each other. Josh has asked for a kitchenette for Christmas, I'm glad he gave us some notice so that we could save up for it. I love that he is so creative in making up these pretend games.

Happy girl

I tried to take pictures of Eden yesterday but she was a very unhappy little girl, something tells me that I ate something I shouldn't have no matter today she is very happy. I put her in an outfit I thought wouldn't fit for another month or two but it fits and she looks so cute in it so I couldn't resist sharing the pictures with others. We're going to have to look for more purple for her. It's definitely her color.

these are better pictures for her two month pics

PJ's

Last night Jason did the glamorous job of dressing the boys for bed while I continued to fill jars with pears. This was the result of the boys night time outfits.

I'm happy that the boys found thier outfits to be so much fun.

Also at about 12:00am one of our neighbors decided that it was a good time to practice their drums. I'm grateful to the neighbor that yelled at them to stop otherwise they might have woken up our kids and that would have been a tragedy for us. People really need to think before they act.

Oh and we only have one more box of pears to finish and then we start work on the tomatoes with our beautiful peppers from our garden.
