Grateful Post

DAY 7
I am grateful for this boy! I can't tell you how grateful I am. I love all my kids and all equally in their own ways, but I have known he existed before I had Natali. (it is really a long story) but the fact he made it here and healthy is truly a miracle in and of itself. He is into everything! He keeps me on my toes. I am sure Noah caused havoc like he does but I don't remember it.  I look at him and everything he does I marvel at and take it in even though at times I do get frustrated and mad (like with any of my kids). Knowing he is our last, I have tried to breathe in all of him and his mischievous behavior that comes with him. Unfortunately because of this he tends to get away with much more than I should let him, and I try hard not to let him get away with it. But I am guilty of it. It is true.  He takes after his brother in his love for playing computer games. Trying to nip that in the butt right now. He loves his sister Sophia to the point of punching her (and his other siblings for that matter).  He LOVES LOVES to be outdoors. He has been known to escape outside without my knowledge. (thank heavens he hasn't decided to go out the front door again.  He loves cars and anything that makes noise even if it is a dollar store telephone. He loves flashlights and has a recent obsession for keys. I find keys (real or pretend keys (like a paperclip) found in the random of places that he has tried to "open" the top of bunk bed hole opening on his bed, a plug outlet (yes, glad he didn't hurt himself) The refrigerator, a cupboard door, the crack of a desk. Okay I have rambled on enough. This kid is hysterical and I am so glad he made it to our family. I count my blessings and he is indeed one of the many!

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
