The other day I was preparing to teach my lesson at church. The stress was getting to me as it usually does. All the other little things in my life seem to get magnified and I'm embarrassed to say it but it's pretty easy to make me cry when I'm in the middle of all of that.
I was in the kitchen and Blake noticed that I needed some help. He asked if I wanted him to make me some eggs for breakfast. I said yes through teary eyes. He hugged me and yelled for the kids to all come in the kitchen and "hug your mom so she'll stop crying."
Then he pulled them all to the side and whispered something in their ears. Then they all stood up and put their right fists in the air and said, "We'll give you something to cry about."
Then Lilly came over and gave me a kiss then Larkin followed suit. Then Blake said, "No you're supposed to hit her not kiss her." It did the trick of lightening the mood for me. We all laughed and then went on with our business.
Blake bent over to get the pan out to make my eggs and Larkin grabbed his arm and would not let go. (She can be freakishly strong when she wants to be.) We soon figured out that Larkin thought Blake was getting the frying pan out to hit me with it and she was not going to let that happen.
It's good to know someone has my back.

I am so glad you have a blog...keep it up. I have one too, and I don't keep it up like I should. But I love it. Come check it out.
That Blake is so darn cute Nel. I get little sneak peeks at his cuteness when he doesn't know I'm watching.
What the heck? I had no idea you had a blog! How fun fun fun! I'll be a reader too. I love the "snapshot" posts. This one was especially good. So I've been preparing for our lesson for like three weeks but it's hard. Why does it never come together till the end? Maybe I'll get organized and email you my thoughts on it. That's way organized.
I'll check back soon! Love ya!
