My Crazy Life

Finding Joy in the Journey

New Names

May28

So, as you may have noticed, I decided to add an element of anonymity to my blog by changing the names of my children for security reasons. Meaning it makes me feel better. 🙂 So here they are:

A happy Mercury

Mercury: My oldest son age 3. He is so named because he is very mercurial meaning animated, lively, sprightly, quick-witted, fickle, flighty, erratic, and fleet footed. He seems to move more often and more quickly than the rest. Mercurial is another way of saying spirited. Mercury is extremely spirited. He doesn’t walk he runs, he doesn’t cry he wails, he doesn’t giggle he shrieks/ squeals with joy. He is very intense. When he is happy he is a joy to be around and can light up the room and bring a smile to everyone’s face. But he is like the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead if you catch my meaning.

this is a younger one of Mercury but it perfectly captures his personality

and…

My beautiful little Zeal

Zeal: My younger son age 22 months. He is so named because he is very driven, persistent, warm, alert, and determined. He knows what he wants in life and will do what it takes to get it. He will not do something unless HE wants to. He can also be very intense at times. He is also hilarious and can always make us laugh. He is so adorable that we find it very difficult to ever be upset with him. He is even cute when he is angry possibly even more so because he makes this face.

This is what happens when you ask Zeal to make his grumpy face 😀

    I love that idea of changing their names. I actually have been debating putting up a privacy wall on my blog so people have to get permission to see it. I know it’s a pain but I would feel better about knowing who’s reading it. I think I will!

I am a 25 year old mother of 2 crazy little boys. I am blessed to be able to stay home and care for my boys.  My oldest is three and my little one is almost 2. They definitely keep me busy. My oldest son who I will call Mercury is quite a a handful he is very spirited, creative, and energetic. He is always looking for something to get into which makes for lots of fun blog posts. My younger son who I will call Zeal is a beautiful toddler and is always following in his big brothers footsteps. Right now he is into whatever Mercury is into but adds his own little personality to the mix. This blog will basically be about my adventures in parenting and trying to run a household. As I am a Latter Day Saint and also plan on homeschooling you may also hear tidbits about these and other interests as well. Happy Reading!
