Musings of Ashley

On Monday, we went to the wave pool with the kids for family home evening. Jarett came over to the kids pool a few times to offer to take Lanaya so that I could go play, but I was enjoying her so much that I let him keep playing with the older kids. In some ways, I might've missed out, but in other ways, I was just soaking it all in!

From where I was, I could watch all of the older kids. I could see them play with each other, go down slides, and have a blast! It was so much fun to just watch them.  I had Benson and Lanaya by my side, and we had so much fun just splashing and enjoying the 'little guy' pool. I don't have much more time with a baby in my arms. This makes me so sad in some ways. I just thoroughly enjoyed sitting down and enjoying having a baby. I will just ache for that in a few years I am sure!

It was a wake up call for me. I only have about five years until Kaia leaves for university or a mission. I so badly want to buckle down and do all the things I imagined doing with my kids when I grew up. The clock is ticking!!  These are precious years. I am going to make the most of them!
