Put Those Kids To Work!

It snowed. Yea! Madi and Zach wanted to play in the snow. I went outside to watch them for a minute, and to my surprise, Madi yelled, "Mom we are shoveling for your birthday!" I watched them shovel the whole sidewalk and more than half of the driveway. I couldn't believe it. Madi shoveled, and Zach followed right behind her with the broom. They wouldn't let me help them, promise, until they were tuckered out. What great kids I have.


ZZach is my little cuddle-bug. I love it.
We eat dinner at my parents on Sundays. My little sis, Caitlin, and her boyfriend J come too. J has become "Uncle J" to Madi and Zach. They absolutely love him. Madi and Zach want nothing to do with me when Caitlin and J. are over there. Thanks for spending time and looking out for my kiddos. They love you both so much!!!
Love you, Caitlin!

Ok, Seriosly, I love Them

After homework the other day, Madi and Zach felt the need to be pirates before bath time. If we could only have the imaginations of our children, life would be so much better...

A Little Late But Worth The Wait!

I think my sis and I each make pretty cute kids.


I don't teach them all of their behaviors, however.

Good little posers.

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

AND IT IS OFFICIALLY FINAL. I AM NO LONGER HITCHED! :)

I fear: carma for some people :) Hopefully I have had mine.
I feel: excited. It's been a while.
I hear: birds singing. No I am not being cheesy. Madi and Zach fall asleep to a radio that
plays soothing sounds at night. Tonight they picked birds singing. Tomorrow it
may be crickets. It is actually kind of soothing.
I smell: my dog Jazz. Sick.
I crave: chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with a glass of milk!
I search: the scriptures now. Try it everyday. It is amazing the blessings it brings.
I wonder: when I will fully learn the virtue of patience. I am trying.
I regret: not enjoying the smudges and tiny finger prints on my walls longer.
I love: the fact I am my own girl in about 3 days.

I don't understand: how people can abuse their children. Yell at them, yes :)
I can usually be found: at home chillin. It's hard to go elsewhere without a car!
I need: my driver's license. You will all see me driving before I leave this neighborhood.
I forget: that stupid people need some form of compassion given to them. Seriously.
I am happy: for the future!

I tag: Nicole, Cami, Jill, and Alysha P. (or anyone who wants to do it. It is good for you to write these things down! ) You better do it this time, Jill!

The Coolest Quote Ever

Ok, normally I am not such a cheese ball, but I wanted to put this quote on my bog, so that I could read it when ever I felt the need. A lot of you have already heard it, but it is really awesome. It was just the little reminder I needed. This came into my life thanks to Shannon Sorensen. Thanks, Shannon!

"Those of us who have been around a while-and Elder Wirthlin and I have been around for a long time-have recognized certain patterns in life's test. There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadmess, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us-to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be.' We can't predict all the struggles and storms in life, not even the ones just around the corner, but as persons of faith and hope, we know beyond the shadow of any doubt that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and the best is yet to come."
-Elder L. Tom Perry
