MIA

So I have been MIA for the past couple weeks. I am used to blogging a little more often and I have so many things I want to record for our family but it just hasn't happened.

A couple weeks ago we decided to take a quick trip to Utah and visit some of our family and it has been wonderful.

The best thing about this trip, I have only really opened my computer maybe once a day. For me, that is a record. I still have internet on my phone but I rarely use that except for down time while I feed Lily.

Guess what... I love it! I love spending more time with my children and family. I know that once I get back to Nebraska tomorrow that I will have more time to be on my computer and back into my old routine but I really would like to spend more time with my children. It is what matters most. Akoy is at an age where he is so fun to play and interact with. I really would like to cut down on his screen time. He is constantly wanting my phone or watching a movie. I am not the best example when my computer is out. I have seen this movie clip Moments that Matter Most a few times, but it wasn't until my friend Stephanie who posted it on her blog that really made me think about things.

My family is the thing that matters most to me. I love spending time with them and I want to be a good mom who gets down on the ground to play cars or whatever and make good memories with my kids.

Don't get me wrong, I do play with Akoy daily and he doesn't watch TV all day. In fact it only last a few minutes each time because of a little ADD factor. :)

I am grateful for each moment I get to spend with my family. Lily has really opened up for my mom. She smiles so much for her. I am lucky to get half as many smiles. I can't wait to get home and show Bryson her smiles. Akoy has loved spending time over at Gregory's. He cries when we leave. He loves all the attention he gets over there.We are lucky to have such great families.

One day I will take the time to write about Lily's blessing, our Utah trip, Lily's smiles and a few other things! But for now, I am going to spend more time with my family.
