The 7 Things I Love About You....

I went to a Jonas Brothers concert last week (Yeah) and then after reading Sarah's 'venting' blog, I thought I would share a couple of thoughts. Miley Cyrus wrote a song about Nick Jonas (the curly haired one and the cutest, I have been told) called the 7 things I hate about you. At the end of the song, to be fair, she lists the 7 things she likes. Thus, my title (beefing it up a little). The things a mom learns by going to a concert with a 13 year old!

So, I thought I would list the 7 things I love most about my kids, starting with the oldest (although Sarah needs it the most).

Amanda
1. I LOVE Amanda's creativity. She can do so many things well and will try most anything (sewing, quilting, card making, photography, projects). She amazes me in this area.
2. I LOVE her dedication to her family. She does so much with her kids and husband. Things she might not love, but she learns to love it by doing it with them (rock climbing, kickball, concerts, tv shows, etc).
3. I LOVE Amanda's humor. She doesn't bust loose all the time but she really enjoys a good laugh and loves to share funny things with others.
4. I LOVE her desire to do right. She had this even as a little child but still strives to do what is right. She studies her scriptures, has Family Home Evening, works faithfully at church, teaches her children.
5. I LOVE her beauty. Inside and Out! I think Amanda is so pretty and has pretty actions. I love to watch her talk and read and sleep.
6. I LOVE her kindness. So often, after talking to Amanda, I feel so good about myself because she has asked my opinion about something or when I suggested something, she always says, "Thats a great idea." She is so kind and it makes those around her better.
7. I LOVE her children. She has blessed me with three of the sweetest, loving grandkids. She is a great mom to them and it shows.

SARAH
1. I LOVE Sarah's laugh. She has a laugh that makes you want to laugh. It is genuine and cute. Sarah's laugh makes others want to be around her.
2. I LOVE it that Sarah is so loving. As a small child she would hug me several times a day, for no reason. She still loves to be hugged (mostly by Steven though) and have affection shown to her.
3. I LOVE Sarah's honesty. I never have to wonder if Sarah agrees with me, she lets me know. She has always been this way too. I always said if she were on the right track, she would never leave it but if she were wayward, she is so strong headed she would never leave that either. Thank goodness she chose the right path.
4. I LOVE her humor. This goes along with her laugh but is different too. She is like me, in that she does things that people like to tease her about. She is so good natured and laughs about past mistakes.
5. I LOVE her devotion. She is devoted to God, family, friends, and everything she does. She is so loyal and true and that is a great quality to possess.
6. I LOVE Sarah's electricity. Everyone loves to be around Sarah (when she has gotten enough sleep). She draws people to her and they want to be her friend.
7. I LOVE Sarah's children. They are both so much like her and that is why she struggles with their oddities but I love it. Many times it is like having little 'Sarahs' running around. They enjoy life just like she did when she was young.

I have three other kids but this is too hard and they don't read my blog anyways. I will share the 7 things I love about them when they start reading my blog.

You can all see why I LOVE being a mom to such wonderful women, mothers, daughters, wives, friends, sisters, aunts........... Thanks girls. You make my life worthwhile.
