So I was looking over a list of 30 things you should tell your kids about yourself and on there was list 3 legitimate fears you have and why. I don't think this is really that crucial for them to know, but I'll bite.
Fear 1: The end of the world. YES I have huge fears when it comes to this. If you read in the Bible (or look around and smell the roses) you will see that the world is going to get pretty bad and crazy. I didn't really fear this until I had kids. After that, Jared and I had "the talk". The one where you talk about what you would do if something bad were to happen. I am terrified! Regardless, I'd do whatever I had to in order to protect my family.
Fear 2: Gaining weight. SO silly and vain, but it's a fear. How many old people do you see that are "fit and fab"? I want to be able to be active and healthy. You better bet I'm going to be a sassy old gal :)
Fear 3: One of my family members (extended included) needing me and I'm too far away and can't get there. I've always had this fear. Since I was 18 I've lived pretty far away from family, and I always worry. I decided Beckham and Brayson will not be able to be more than 6 hours away from me when they are in college or married. 6 hours is driving distance, and I can floor it and get there in 4!
Love my boys :)

Crazy Days, Peaceful Nights
As guilty as I feel for saying it, I feel like the title of this post definitely describes our lives right now. Although I feel guilty, it needs to be put out there. LIFE is CRAZY. Screaming, squealing, laughing or crying babies equals a hectic life. But hey... it's a heck of a lot more fun than it being a family with no kids.
I am so grateful for my babies. Honestly, Heavenly Father really loves me for sending me Beckham and Brayson. They are the sweetest, craziest, funnest (yes, funnest) kids in this world.
Five things I love about Beckham right now:
1. He runs down the hall saying, "ma, mom, mom" looking for me
2. He has the cutest smile, and if you don't smile back at him you have no heart.
3. He waves at EVERYONE! Today we went to Golden Corral with his GGparents and waved at every single person leaving the restaurant. Wave back, people!
4. He gets a look when he wants you to chase him. He stares at you, smirks and then scuttles off as fast as his little legs will take him. And he's dang fast.
5. He gives kisses! It melts my heart when he comes up to me and smacks his lips for a kiss. Hilarious, cute, and he loves me. :)
Five things I love about Brayson right now:
1. Everyone who meets him calls him the most "smiley baby". Little do they know, he has some pipes when he doesn't get his way.
2. When we are in the car, he laughs at Beckham and they either do this back and forth the whole time, or squeal the whole time. Squealing, not so fun when you're in the car for 45 minutes going to visit family.
3. He still lays his head on my chest. Beckham didn't do that after he was strong enough to lift his head. I love snuggling my Brayson.
4. When he sees me in the morning, he gets this smile. I can only explain it by comparing it to those videos you see of parents telling their kids they are going to Disneyland for the first time. Mouth open, whole face smile, followed by a squeal.
5. He can army crawl now, and it's the cutest thing ever. When he sees something he wants, he WILL get it no matter how long it takes, or how far he has to go.
Jared is seriously the best dad ever, too. He will always take the time to make sure Beckham knows he loves him. When Beckham wants to be chased, Jared will drop everything and chase him. The sweetest sound in the world is that, and then later hearing him hum our babies to sleep when they have a bad dream.
Life is good :)
