Text of the page (random words):
y malia when i first held you you lifted your head off of my shoulder turned and looked at me like who s a baby i m not i am a big girl and you have been trying to prove that to me ever since well yesterday as i watched you play in the waves and on the sand it hit me you are a big girl how did you grow so fast you are tall skinny long golden curly locks down your back where did the time go i can only imagine in my very near future saying the same thing as you hit more major mile stones in your life now that you are 3 1 2 years old i feel like you have come into your own out of any other time in your life you seem to feel like you have finally reached the age you always knew you were i am sure that will just be more and more the case as you grow always striving to be a big girl just remember no matter how big you get how many years go by you will always always be my baby girl i love you with all of my heart you are my daughter my friend you make me laugh and the things you say scare me sometimes just because they are such grown up things to say you have amazing talents and i am so excited to see what you do with them you are compassionate and loving you love babies and making food your smile lights up the room and my entire world i love you forever and always love your mommy becky 15 comments posted by mrs jones says at 1 01 pm friday january 21 2011 a special mommy daughter date i went on a special date last week with my favorite little girl it was a surprise date so you can imagine the girly screaming and shouting that went on when she realized where we were disneyland we did whatever she wanted to do and boy did she run me ragged i was pooped way more than carting all three of them around high energy does not even begin to describe my baby girl oh and p s guess who is attempting potty training again that is right miss malia so far so good i am sticking to it this time wish us luck i made a special potty chart she gets to put up stickers for all her 1s and 2s and when it is filled she gets a new toy she is excited for now anyway 4 comments posted by mrs jones says at 7 12 pm monday january 10 2011 let s take a closer look i am sure that those of you who have given birth to children have gone through something like this in fact i have spoken to several different friends who feel the same way as me it is a new concept for me because as most of you know our first two children are adopted ok so what the heck am i talking about right it goes a little something like this your pregnant yeah all our lives we have wondered what kind of beautiful babies we would one day make would they have my eyes my chin my nose my ugly feet etc and secretly most of us i think want to have that baby coming out looking at least somewhat like us right i mean we are the ones that are incubating and creating them for 9 in my case months don t get me wrong i love my husband and want my baby to look like him too but call it selfish or what you may i want them to look more like me insert selfish girly laugh here i know we are all different many of you will not agree with me on that that is ok i just grew up feeling such a connection to my family my ancestors and wanted so badly to have that feeling of pride when i saw my baby and they had some features that came from my gene pool as i said before maybe a little more of mine then my hubbies there is that laugh again well lucky for me i married a mormon not just any mormon but a mormon that looks like a mormon i mean he has some hard core mormon genes going on i have my theories as to why that is some cross pollination going on back in the pioneer days maybe but still you can tell those are some strong genes i mean everyone in his whole family looks the same and yes he is the oldest of 7 children so i thought i was doomed that none of my kids would look like me fast forward past us finding out we could not have kids to adopting 2 kids yippee i was fine remember i realize this whole post shows some of my true colors so don t judge me monkey with our kids not looking like me in that case just as long as they did not look like him either and it did not hurt that they both are so beautiful you can t really complain about that and then fast forward to last year i get pregnant oh how nervous i was here comes another confession i would pray that the baby would look like me is that so selfish i mean really that sounds pretty superficial but really i was so grateful to be pregnant and immediately repented of my selfish prayer and just prayed for a healthy baby i felt the situation was helpless and braced myself for a mini mike to come out of me then he was born he was is gorgeous the minute i saw him i was full of gratitude he looked like the perfect mix of us both i was so happy then came the people as i call them seems as soon as you have a baby birth a baby everyone wants to put in their two cents about who they look like remember no one really did that to me with the first two the overwhelming consensus was that he looked just like mike what no i swear he looks like me too so after just over a year i have come to today time to do a study i am good with detail right i mean i am a wedding photographer for crying out loud i am here to prove my point this kid is a perfect mix of the both of us and don t worry i still love you and respect your opinion if you don t agree with me subject 1 a one michael jones age 6mo old subject 2 a one elijah jones age 6 mo old subject 3 a one becky jones age 6 mo old so let us begin what do you think want to know what i see 1 the obvious eli has mike s mouth but a little different might have a mix of mine in there he has a bigger upper lip than mike did anyway 2 he for sure has my eyes the shape and color 3 the hair is a recessive gene both mike and i have blonds in our families my sister has white hair like eli does 4 i believe his nose is a perfect mix of mine and mikes a little more like mine though he has my nostrils 5 he has my forehead 6 he has my huge hands and 7 the rest is just a mix his face shape is a good mix of us both mike says he has my ears but i can t tell bottom line i love this kid and am so grateful for him i hate that because he is from us we tend to nit pick more about where he gets what think about it when you see a negative quality in your child you tend to point the finger at yourself or your spouse like oh he got that from you the beauty of adoption you don t do that they are completely unique in your eyes truly their own individual my goal is to try to remember that and treat eli the same give him credit for all of his own good and bad qualities through his life and be the best mommy i can be thanks for reading my ranting and here just for fun a disney moment brought to you by eli jones and one from back in the day by becky roberts jones 4 comments posted by mrs jones says at 1 02 pm saturday january 8 2011 my pet project this month we are having a special program this month for the teen age girls young women at my church ward i am one of the leaders in charge and am so excited to put my creativity thinking cap on so far this is what i have for those of you who are lds and looking for a new beginnings theme here is what we came up with be loyal to the royal within you helping the girls to remember who they truly are and where they came from that they are the daughters of a heavenly king we will be making the whole evening a royal event complete with tiaras and castles here is the invite i made out of dowels those little wood buttons you use to cover holes gold spray paint and parchment paper thanks to my good friend sarah for coming over and helping me assemble all 50 of them more to come as the planning and preparation continues 4 comments posted by mrs jones says at 7 21 pm thursday january 6 2011 where did she go i had a third baby and that seriously just killed my blogging i miss it and i miss having that history to look back on over the past year i also used to take way more pictures so my new years resolution is to 1 stop drinking soda and 2 to start blogging again here it goes wish me luck to begin i read this wonderful article and had to share enjoy the read and think about how amazing you are and how not so amazing the people you think are more amazing than you are what you don t see when we all march into church on sunday morning is the chaos of the morning that happened just 10 minutes earlier what you don t see when you look at my four little boys in their suits is that the 7 year old is wearing dad s socks because we couldn t find his and they go all the way up to his knees what you don t see when i pull out the lovely quiet book i made a few years back is that below it in my church bag are five baggies of smashed raisins because i haven t cleaned out the bag for months when you enter my house with its shining entryway you don t see the three loads of laundry dumped on my bed or the dirty pots i stashed in the oven and you will never see the interior of my minivan not until i find the time to vacuum it out when you admire the hand sewn pajamas i made for all the kids we don t talk about the three nights i got no sleep to make those if you look on my blog you will see pictures of homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles you won t see my confession to popping in a frozen pizza three times last week for dinner or the night we ate cheerios for dinner dry because we were out of milk there is a zoom on my camera for a reason there is a delete button for a reason i don t think we re all playing a part we naturally want to put our best selves forward so that is what other people see they don t see what s going on behind the scenes i like to think that good parenting is like a duck on the water what you see is the gentle almost effortless gliding not the furious paddling that happens underneath i keep a mental list of about ten people i want to stalk by camera from morning to night to see how they do it all are they up at 4 a m can they survive on three hours of sleep do they have a housekeeper because i drop balls just as fast as i can grab them my intentions are of pure gold but they come out as tinkling brass at best i started a blog last fall i dragged my feet into it for many reasons one of the main reasons i hesitated was i didn t want to be another contributor to the cyberspace guiltosphere out there especially where mothers are concerned do we need one more reason to feel guilty because from the looks of things other families are happier their houses are cleaner their marriages are better their clothes are more stylish and their craftiness is even more crafty their lives are perfectly lovely while my kids are running around screaming in their diapers my worst fears were confirmed last week when i got an e mail from a friend who asked how do you do it all your column your blog all the things you do with your children you re amazing i looked around at my house at the six bins of winter clothes waiting to be transported to the garage at the sewing projects stacked against the wall at the state of the toothpaste crusted to the sink i let things go a lot of things a spanking clean house is not a high priority for me i m a big believer in mud and its importance in a child s life the time i take to write is time away from scrubbing that bathroom sink i would rather read with my kids than shop at the mall so i am certainly not up to date on the latest styles i ve been listening to the same music for 20 years because i can t seem to keep up with the latest music scene and i require a lot of sleep we all have priorities for some it is keeping a spotless house and they are good at it for others it is writing or exercising or serving others and yes there are some who seem to do it all the benjamin franklins of the world i tell myself i don t have to be them and also benjamin franklin was not much of a family man even he let things go what we don t see when we look at each other on sunday or on blogs or in our shiny kitchens is that we all have different talents and unique situations i tell my kids all the time life is not a race the only person you are competing against is yourself what we forget to see when admiring others is our own personal finish line 7 comments posted by mrs jones says at 6 10 pm saturday july 17 2010 happy early birthday dad why am i saying happy birthday early because i have some time right now and who knows when the stars will align for me again soooo love you dad thanks for being so amazing
