So Sweet

Tonight at dinner Caden and Abby were being so good eating their dinner (and a little playing between bits), then out of the blue Caden leaned over and gave Abby a hug and said. "I love you so much Abby." The boy was melting my heart...I must be such a sap because I have to admit it brought tears to my eyes. As their mother I hope and pray everyday that they will be friends as they grow up.

Happy

These two kids sure do make me laugh. Caden has so much personality, he cracks me up. He happens to own some blue rain boots that he loves and thinks are perfect for playing in the water. I mean they do keep his feet dry, that's what he tells me. He reminds me of Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh.

So the other day I go upstairs and this is what I find happening in the bathroom. Gotta love my two little ones. They bring me sooo much joy, each and every day.

Drum Roll Please...Here is the finished project on Abby's hair.

Cute Random Pictures of the Kids

Just a few random pictures of whats been going on with us.

This picture totally cracks me up. This morning I told Caden that he could play on his little Leapfrog computer...but the batteries weren't working. So I told Caden that when I went to the store today I would buy some for him, then I said I would right it down on a piece of paper so I wouldn't forget. Caden said, "no Mom I will write it." This is funny since he isn't writing words yet. Anywho when he got done he said, "here Mom I wrote it down now you won't forget the batteries. So needless to say even though there words aren't there I didn't forget the batteries.

Abby's hair is finally gotten long enough to fit into pigtails. I am making her let me do here hair since I can't do my own right now. I have learned there's no such thing as a bad hair day...only bad wig days. Ha Ha.

Caden colored this picture and was so proud of it that he asked me to take a picture of him. I think he did a really good job getting the whole picture colored in. He is getting so creative when he colors.

Funny story...a few days ago I got the kids some snacks and they wondered out of the kitchen...not that uncommon around here. All you Mom's will understand the fear I felt when I realized how quiet the house was. When I went looking for them I found them sitting in their bathtub eating their snacks. Don't worry I had just finished cleaning the bathroom.

Happy Mother's Day

Hope that everyone had a really nice Mother's Day. I started the day out nice and early making frosting for cupcakes. My sister Amy was having her homecoming talk about her mission, so we headed up to Logan for that. She did a really great job. She talked about miracles and how they are all over the scriptures and can inspire us. It is so true that miracles continue to happen today. I have seen them happen time and time again over the last few months...what a wonderful blessing the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings to us. I truly gives me the strength to carry on when I don't think I can go any farther.

Anywho...it was fun to see my family and some extended family as well an eat lots and lots of yummy food. Caden, Abby and Eli got me the best Mother's Day gift. First was the card that they recorded their voices on, so sweet made me cry then there was the super fancy new blender. It's awesome it breaks ice just like at Jamba Juice...the old one that broke never did that!

Good Things

Last week I had some new friends in our neighborhood invite me to go be in the audience for the local TV program, Good Things Utah. One of the ladies that is a host lives in my neighborhood. She asked my friends since she was going to be participating in the Race for the Cure on Saturday, if I would be alright with it, if she ran with my name. I was so honored that she would ask.
Anywho I found myself sitting in the studio audience on Friday morning at the Grand America, and when they did the opening of the show where the girls are just chatting I found that when the conversation about the Race came up. Marti mentioned briefly my story and that she was running for me...even though most of the tears I have lately really are from allergies, these ones weren't. I was really touched. We have a great time at the show and all the audience members ended up getting a free nights stay at the Grand America in Salt Lake. I told Eli I am not sure I own an clothes that I should be seen in at the Grand America...it is very nice. Maybe I will have to go shopping!

Infinite Power of Hope

I came across this tonight and wanted to share. What a sweet message from one of my favorite's. I mean what's not to completely love about Pres. Uchtdorf???
