Whatta fabu-lous-soooo summer we had!!! Hence the absence of blogging! We went and did a ton of stuff, we enjoyed nature, we enjoyed friends and family, we stayed up late and woke up later. This summer meant a lot to me, and I think to my kiddos. Now we are back to reality of life. And school! The kids are ALL doing good, which has been a big relief to me. They have wonderful teachers, and friends. SO life is good at the moment! :)

Another Thing!

So as I was pondering my "6 things I am grateful" post, I thought you know there a few things that I neglected to mention so I am amending my previous post.

1. My hubby. we have been through so much in 13 years. And yet, he continues to amaze me. Just when I think I have him all figured out, he goes and shows me that he is an amazing creature. I have no idea how I got so lucky to have him pick me, but man am I very GRATEFUL that he did!

2. My Kids, they are so good to me. I know that as far as moms go, they haven't had it the easiest. I fall all the time, get sick, and I don't enjoy cleaning but through all this they are always there for me. And they step up. They worry about me way more than kids should have to worry about their parent and they never love me less because of it. :)

3. I am grateful for this trial. It has been so hard for me to try to a work my way through. But yes, I am grateful for learning these lessons. Not many of us, get to have our hearts so open. To have to feel your way through life relying on your heart is a great opportunity. I have been loved more than most adults would allow, because of my child-like need for it.

4. I am grateful for all the little things like when someone writes on my Facebook wall or leaves me a comment on my blog. To have people pray for me, and care if I actually have the strength to get out of bed, if I eat, if I make it through the day without crying my face raw and want my advice is priceless. So if you fit into any of those weird categories I am grateful for YOU!!

Ok, well I think that covers what I forgot previously! Thanks for bearing with me!!!

Tagged!

Well I have been having tons of fun with all the Facebook tags that are going around, and now my cute Sis-in-law Steph has tagged me here. So here goes, 6 things I love! Shouldn't be too hard-right!

1. Well My family and friends. When it seems like I can't take one more minute of life, they always rescue me. They are such blessings in my life!

2. Prayer. It is so true "When life is too hard to stand-Kneel" I have been living by this powerful tool. I have spent many many hours on my kneels, and my loving Heavenly Father always hears and answers my many prayers.

3.The Temple. I think life would be too hard to bear, without my knowledge of my eternal family. To know that I will be with my mom again helps give me the strength to keep on keeping on!

4.My husbands job. With all the turmoil in the world right now, I am so thankful that he has a job, and that I can stay home with our kids. We have been blessed so much.

5. As I am writing this I am finding that what I am most grateful for really aren't things. I am grateful for having so many "things" meaning not things in my life! (did that even make any sense?)

6.Right now I am grateful for a warm house. With it lightly snowing outside, I am so grateful that we have warm clothes, warm blankets and these walls to keep the cold outside and the warm inside.

Well that wasn't too painful. Hopefully it made sense. If I tag you please consider doing this, because it makes you feel so good to reflect on what you are grateful for, and you have made a difference in my life!!

That is too funny- I published this without tagging anyone. LOL! OK so I am fixing that:

Julie, Brenda, Tricia, Kirsti, Jenni and Tiffany
