Your Gonna Miss This Moment
Play along with this new meme!

I am not sure how I stumbled upon this blog You're Gonna Miss This .... but after a bit of reading I was hooked....

I LOVE the whole idea of posting the moments you are going to or already do, miss the most..... go on over for more info....
I have been having the most emotional week when it comes to


.... All of a sudden, he is no longer a little boy....

This week he have finally agreed that he no longer has to go to the after school program at school... he can come home on his own & get started with his homework..... when did he get so big????

This is a picture of him going away for his first camping trip in the mountains today.... without mom & dad..... (not by himself..silly...)

WHEN did he get so BIG?
OK... I am getting to the "moment" .... yesterday when I got home from picking Eva up from school... I called up to Dane, to let him know that I was home... & he started crying.... sobbing.... my great big boy... i asked him to come down... asked him was wrong... it had just been "one of those days" You know...over tired... nothing going right... they went hiking all day at school.... trip to the mountains.... (I went to pick him up from school..they told me he had already left....so I went to pick up Eva...) Dane however, did see me.... Dane yelled for me but I didn't see him... Dane ran to try to catch me.... but I just drove away...


I sat there with this great big boy on my lap, & just let him cry...
he is almost as big as me... & as I held him on my lap yesterday.... it really hit me... t
there won't be many more moments like this... sure, he can always come & cry on mamma's shoulder.... but it won't be long before he is just too big for my lap.... that makes me S A D.... so sad.....
I know, I am going to miss these moments...

Yes indeed! You are going to be broken hearted when the chickies fly away...So good that you realize fleeting moments are just that - the mother love that lad has lasts for eternity- lap sitting, not so much. Thank GAWD! my baby boy weighs 200 pounds!
Your pictures are awesome!

:( You're breaking my heart with this meme...I don't like to think that they are getting so big. But they are aren't they?

I hope Dane has a great time on his camping trip...is it really that cold there already?!

I was going to say the same thing Kelly did. We mom's have all been their. I think this week has been really hard on you for many reasons. Hang in there. I hope you have another fun week like a few weeks back after your girl's night out. Thank you for sharing your heart. Big hugs are on their way!

I wish I could tell you it gets easier.... wait till that day he drives off ON HIS OWN because he does not legally need you in the front seat with him anymore... I think that was one of the toughest... I counted the minutes until she came back!!

It's funny I was just talking to my 4 year old today about how she is getting so big and I'm going to miss the little her :(

I am so glad you stumbled on my site and decided to join us!! Being aware that I am in a time that is fleeting, and actually treasuring the moment, is where I want to live... sounds like you accomplished that this week. He is so handsome, how old is he? I have one that is just 10 and it sounds like we are in the same stage. Thanks again! Hope you play again!

My daughter is only four and the snuggly moments are already tapering off. It's bittersweet to watch your children grow up.

Even though it was because Dane was upset, I'm glad you got to have another one of those rare moments with him. What a sweet boy.

Gosh, girl..I don't have children but that just made tears well up in my eyes! I think those moments are so great though. They are fleeting but thank the Lord they happen. Because once they do, they will never leave your memory...which is amazing. Your "babies" are precious!

OH how sad. That just breaks my heart. Those are the magic moments that stay in your heart forever.

Hey, I was going to email you but I don't see your email on your profile. I took down the post about his ex stalking me because she started stalking me again and I didn't want her to read it. (annoying)Anyway I track all of my visitors with GetClicky at www.getclicky.com
and I block the people I don't like with an IP blocker at www.toolator.com. Now they used to be free. Now you can only block 3 IP addresses for free. If you want to block more you have to pay. This changed just this week. But because of our situation we pay for it. It's worth it for us, I'm sure you know why. :) My email is katieritchie05@gmail.com if you have more questions!
Have a great day!

I don't think I'd like doing this meme, though I do love the pics. I think it would make me sad.

My daughter is in first grade this year and already I am seeing her pull away a bit. My heart just catches a bit because I know how far I have moved from my parents.

At least your "big boy" knows he can still come to you and have a big old cry when needed. That is so sweet.

Wow, that was something. I went out of town this weekend and when I returned 48 hours later, it seemed like my oldest had aged 2 years. This will be a fun meme to do, especially since her bday is right around the corner. Thanks!

I know what you mean, my daughter is only 15 months and I already miss things that she doesn't do anymore.
I found your site through a comment on Rebecca Jo's and wanted to say Hi!
Love the blog!

Look at how cute they are. That is me trying NOT to think about how much I am going to miss the younger years as my kids get older. We watched home movies of when the kids were 3 years younger and it was amazing the difference. Crazy how fast time flies!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long
