The Power of positive Thinking

Today we were outside playing hopscotch, writing our names, numbers, letters and just having fun with the sidewalk chalk. We played baseball with the dog, pulled some weeds, and rode bikes. While I was pulling weeds, Jamison was helping Linzi and Morgan ride their bikes in the dirt, I heard him teaching them a simple phrase, "I THINK I CAN"! It was so cute to hear the little kids chanting I think I can, I think I can, as they were working so hard to make it up the simple hill. It nice to hear the kids working together and to hear Jamison teach the younger kids a simple but profound lesson. It made me think of all the things I could accomplish if only I remembered that simple phrase. Its hard work to be a mom but these little rewards warm my heart and remind me that its all worth it.

Its been a long while!

I know that its been over a year since I sat down and did this, but I think I have a new energy for it. Last Sunday while on vacation in San Diego we went to the Mormon Battalion visitors center, which was awesome and highly recommended. But after the regular tour we watched a couple of the Mormon.org profiles, one of which was about a mother and father who were burned really bad in a plane crash. She inspired me to be a better mother, a better wife, and strive to better serve the Lord.

Some of the things worth mentioning, that I have failed to document...
Birthdays, Holidays, And cute kids!


Morgans birthday party was at the park after stake conference and I forgot my camera! Darn it. It was a monster truck party, and he had lots off fun.

It was an interesting Christmas this year but we all enjoyed it!

Dallen is an octopus made from a sweat shirt and socks. Morgan is a fire fighter. Linzi wanted to be Mary had a little lamb. And Jamison wanted to be a knight, and he wanted to make his costume so we did.
