Loves of MY life

GEOFF. PAITYN. BECK.

Those 3 words make me so grateful for my life. When I am feeling down, I just think of their love, and I am happy once again.

All three are learning, while I stand by and watch. It is more enjoyable to me to watch them learn, than to actually be learning myself. Although, one day, I would like to take some classes on photography, and maybe quilting, and maybe, well...you get the idea! But, for now, I am content with just sitting back and taking in what is going on around me.

Day to day life can be boring, unless you enjoy the simple things.

These are some things that I enjoy about my 2nd and 3rd favorite words.

PAITYN.
She is constantly saying new words. I never thought I would be grateful for a television show, but "Dora the Explorer" (I know) has taught this little girl a ton of words, and she pays attention, and answers when they ask questions.
The first word I heard her pick up from this show was FIREFLY. Now, she repeats words they say, during every episode. It has also helped her learn colors, but her favorite color is BLUE (don't get any ideas you crazy BYU fans!) I am fairly sure this is because she knows she has blue eyes. She always says, I have blue eyes, baby has blue eyes, daddy has blue eyes, mommy has blue eyes. Then, I have to reassure her that mine are green, and she says, mommy have green eyes!
So, with that, I just want to say that I am so proud of Paityn, she is learning more every day.

BECK.
You know how it is usually da-da that comes out of a babes mouth before ma-ma? Well, the past couple of days, I have heard him say ma-ma! I don't know if it is specifically for me, or just a new sound, but I'll take it either way.
That's about all he can say, but there are so many more things I love to watch him do.
Climbing up the stairs is one of them, because I can tell, he is so proud of himself, and he looks back at me, like, "you're not gonna catch me!" (mom, does the exclamation point go in the quotations, or outside? Really I don't know this!)
He is also growing out of his dairy allergy, which is wonderful. I haven't totally tested this, but I have given him things that say, contain milk, and he does fine. YEAH!!

ok....I can't leave my first favorite word out of this long rambling of a blog.

GEOFF.
He is learning to love me even more, despite my imperfections, and is patiently helping me as I learn to be a better, happier person.

He has fought to take care of his family since the day he was laid off of work last year. It has been a rough road, but we haven't gone without the necessities, and some luxuries!

He is changing his career, and I am so excited to watch him, and maybe help him out a little, as he does this. I know going BACK to school, after already having a college degree, is actually a nightmare in my mind, but Geoff is doing this, not only for his happiness, but for the well-being of our family in years to come.

So. That's it.
I just wanted to express my feeling towards 3 loves of my life, at this very moment, with these feelings fresh in my mind.

I. LOVE. YOU.
