IKEA FUN!!!!

I am so mad because I had to redo this whole post over again when I pretty much had everything done!  There are no technical difficulites when you are writing in a paper journal!!! any way .... Let's try this again!

My precious little girl!

don't know how to turn the picture

the love of my life

Oh mom, why must you hide your beautifulness

sisters, sisters never were there such devoted sisters!

Oh tony, we all know that you love taking and seeing pictures of youself!!! :)

cuteness, nothing else to say!

I look like my daddy and I love it!

We had so much fun at Ikea.  Kaydence, you were so tired because you as usual feel like you are going to miss something if you go to sleep earlier than 8. You gave Megan a run for her money when you were throwing a fit and she ended up getting mad at a guy who was making fun of you and Akiah. You apalogized and gave her a peace offereing which was a cup of pepsi which she gladly took and was grateful for! She deserved it!  Adallyn, you loved all the colors there and you wouldn't stay in the stroller that we brought for you because you always feel like you are going to be missing something new that kaydence is doing!  You love her so much and you know what, I kind of have a feeling that she loves you too! You smile and laugh more for her! Well that is my post for today, I love my family and I love you guys, you bring so much joy into my life!

Love mommy!

I hope you Dance

 

As I was changing Adallyn's diaper today, the end of despicable me was going and I looked over and Kaydence was doing every single move that they were doing. I wish that I was able to catch that but I got a pretty good second take!! I love when she dances and is so happy!  I hope she dances through life with this same enthusiasm!! I love you kaydence, Keep on dancin'!

Love Mommy :)

Sorry I guess the video isnt' going to work! I will have to try later! 

My quest to be a good mommy.Something I will always be striving for

So the older Kaydence gets the more and more I think about this question, "What can I do to be a better mommy?"  I realize that although Kaydence is almost three she will be a teenager sooner than I know and to be honest .... that scares me to death!!!  I would much rather deal with poopy underwear (which is a big deal for me) and her throwing fits a hundred times over than even think about life with a teenager.  Not because I think she will be a horrible teenager but I think it will be hard to deal with all the temptations they have to overcome, the big life questions they will have, the rebellious stage, and her not being able to forgive me as easy for my shortcomings, etc. AND having me to look too when all those things come up ... SCARY!  I decided that I need to start now!  I need to make sure she knows where she came from and who she is .... A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER OF GOD!!! I need to make sure she knows what the plan of happiness is all about and what her purpose is here on earth.  I need to make sure to teach her the right way so when she does get in those peer pressure situtuations she will know what her decision will be already and even if she doesn't always make the right decision, (which will happen), and even if she does make mistakes, (who doesn't?),  she will always know that I taught her the right way and I will always be someone she will be able to fall back on!  I (underlinded a million times more)  need to be prepared! 
It seems so easy to prepare and want to become a good parent but with a world full of opinionated people,  which I am not saying it is a bad thing because I have recieved a lot of good advice it's just that some people can be a littlt TOO opinionated in thinking their way is the right way and only way, it can be hard and to tell you the truth sometimes depressing.  I have decided that everyone is different, therefore parenting styles are going to be different.  I am not a bad parent because I don't do what so and so is doing! I just need to do what works best for me!  I think the important thing to remember is that I am always trying to do my best and that is all we need to do, Heavenly Father will make up for the rest!
I love my little girls and I hope the day will come that they will look to me and call me blessed because I did my best and I always strived to be a better mommy!  I love you guys!
Love mommy 

My Happily Ever After

I chose "My Happily Ever After" for the title of my blog, not because I think there will be no hard times and trials that I will have to overcome but because I know through those trials is how I can obtain that happily ever after status.  With each trial that comes my way I know that I can look back and find that it brought me closer to my family and most importantly my Heavenly Father.  I look at my wonderful husband that I get to spend forever with and my two beautiful girlies and I can't help but think how could I not have a happily ever after ending?  I am Lorissa Nicole Gillespie and I am a happy mommy of two. I am head over heels in love with my husband and this is my story of My Happily Ever After!
