Today also brought one of the most sweetest moments of my life. I was doing some cleaning in the kitchen while the boys were playing, and out of nowhere Tom comes up to me and says, "Mommy, I'm going to be a missionary with E." Just like that. I started to cry. It was so out of the blue, we hadn't been talking about missionaries lately or anything. So being a missionary is something he has remembered, it's part of him. I am so grateful.
My goal as a mother of 2 boys has always been to be like the mothers of the 2000 stripling warriors. And i know that being a constant influence in their lives is so important. I am so grateful to my Father in Heaven for blessing me with the opportunity to be a mother and for a husband whose faith is strong enough to allow me to stay at home with our boys.

That is great Jen! Sounds like a great moment for you. It's great that your boys are close. And how fun...E is walking!
It is true most days of motherhood are full of the same they can be monotonous and at times unfulfilling-but then there are the days full of first steps, sweetness, and clicking moments that really do make motherhood worth all the sleepless nights, worry, throw up, financial burden, and exhaustion! What a good mother you are!
What a sweet post! It is so fun to read this blog!
I know what you mean Jen, My brother left on his mission in October and Kehl will randomly mention going on a mission with "uncle Irk" (Erik). And my favorite BoM story is the Stripling Warriors!
You are sure raising some fine young men, there, Jen! What a beautiful thing!
