Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Yeah!!!

This evening has been fun with my Kiddos! It's about time! :)
But seriously - they've been fighting more than normal and not listening to me more than normal lately. This evening we went to a fun SplashPad out by our old house and then we went to Walmart and wandered around. Normally I'm trying to run to get out of any store with the 4 freaks. But they were amazing tonight! Yeah!!!!
Like I mentioned, we went by our old house. It was a little heartache for me. There are so many happy memories there for us. I miss that time in my life (sometimes). Our Jakaranda tree that we planted and killed several times over is doing really well. They still have the Beware of Dog sign up on the back gate. :) Do they really have a dog or just to lazy to take it off? We even drove by the rental and another flood of memories came back to me. For all of you remembering that time in my life, don't laugh and think of how often I complained! I really miss it.

On another happy note - Bret comes back to us tomorrow! We have a big day tomorrow. Lots of friends coming over and then heading to fireworks later. I think I need to actually clean my house tomorrow morning. It would not be a good thing to have the kids' mattresses out and junk all over when the friends and their kids come. Maybe tonight I'll get more sleep than last night. I pulled a "Jen" last night and freaked out over the smallest sounds! I normally don't do that, so I'm hoping for a better night.

Man, my kids are cute! One of them just walked up to talk to me and made me smile. Today they are cute- what will tomorrow hold?! :)

Well, I'm going to go and cuddle the kiddos. Have a great night Everyone and a Happy 4th! What are you doing tomorrow?!
