I am so thankful that Heavenly Father knows us so well. I believe he gives us all that we can take and then he gives us a sweet beautiful moment of relief. Today was one of those days for me. Tucker has decided to go 2 on me. He has become a handful and today was the day the straw broke the camels back. I had to go in a take every single last toy he has and every single movie. I thought well that will teach him and yet he still managed to get into everything and go crazy all day for me. I have been very stressed and emotional about life these last few weeks and I thought I can not take my sweet boy going 2 year old on me. So tonight when I was ready to throw him into bed with out dinner because those of you that know us well no that dinner with tucker is always a fight and I hate even thinking about it. But tonight was unlike any-other, there was no fight we all sat down at the table and eat and laugh at my sweet boys. As we sat there this sense of peace and happiness filled my whole body. Heavenly Father knew I could take no more today and so he gave me a beautiful gift of peace and happiness with the little things in life. I know that there is a Heavenly Father and that he knows just what we can handle and what we need in this life. Thank you Father for that gift today.
The whole bunch of us.

Thank you for sharing that with all of us Anne-Marie! I agree that it is amazing when we have those sweet moments from Our Heavenly Father. It is like he gives them to us so that we can have a glimpse of how perfect our children and family can be. the old saying is the terrible two's, the horrible 3's and the blessed fours. Just hang in there and look for more of those moments. Make yourself a sponge and try to soak up as much as you can at this time in Tuckers life. it is a time that will be forever gone, then you will find yourself looking back and longing for those 2 moments. As crazy as that might sound! It is so important you take time for you! We should pull together a girls slumber party at a nice hotel and get some r&r. When is Laurie Anne coming to visit? I miss that in Austin and Athena now that they are so old. And even with Arwen she is growing up so fast. Love and prayers to you Gidget
I love your blog this week. You are right!
I totally understand! I keep thinking of the talk that was given during General Conference where we were told (can't remember who said it though) "The joy of Motherhood comes in moments". Somedays it feels like the moments are few and far between! Kayla is my biggest challenge and we have a lot of tough days! Hang in there and hopefully you will find more of those moments of peace and joy!
