took the time to read it. I wish now that I had. It is about a woman who lost her 14 month old baby in June. It is tragic but amazing. Her words and thoughts are beautiful, and she has touched so many lives. She has asked us all to write down the little things our children do and our favorite things they do. After reading her story and Nicole's post, it made me realize I need to love, admire, and treasure every moment with Madi and Zach, good or bad. Their little personalities and their love amaze me and make me so incredibly happy. Here are what I call Madi and Zach moments that I will treasure forever....Madison
The light within her that creates this amazing level of energy
Her bright smile
Her contagious laugh
Her beautiful skin
Her blue eyes
Her love of family
Her love of the great outdoors
Her love for learning
and her ability to learn anything she attempts
Her amazing mind
Her goofiness
Her loud voice
Her reminder to me to be silly
Her excitement for life and her love for the little things in life
She is such a strength in my life.
Zachary
His sweet spirit
His sensitive spirit
His little laugh
His crooked smile
His bright blue eyes
His run
The look on his face when he accomplishes something
His love for family and friends
His love for the great outdoors
His willingness to still cuddle and hold my hand
His kisses
His willingness to forgive after being hurt
His imagination
His willingness to try new things
His little voice
His goofiness
His reminder to me that life is delicate
He is such a strength in my life.
I now challenge you to do the same thing for your little ones...

I love this lady's blog. I've been following it ever since her baby, Camille died.
Oh jen, I just love you and your kids so much! You are such a wonderful cute mom and you will always be so close to your kids!! I love this!
What a wonderful way to remember what your children really are, instead of focusing on the the "fun" things kids do day to day. Thanks for the inspriation!
So Sweet! Everyday when I put my kids to bed a think and pray, "I hope I have another day with you." (trust me, I don't usually think that while they're awake, but I try) There is another tear jerker of a blog, I have a link to it in the top right hand corner of my blog. The lady isn't LDS but I don't think I've ever met an LDS women with more of a testimony of our Savior. Her words have really strengthened my own testimony.
I love this post. It is so good to remember how blessed we are to have amazing little ones in our lives. You are a great mom!
