thought for the day...




Today, I am NOT going to concern myself with....



dirty dishes



floors in need of vacuuming



new toys from Santa strewn about


achieving laundry nirvana - (it doesn't exist, btw)


getting the car oil changed


preparing for my pres. mtg later this week





TODAY I am going to...


do Brady's new puzzle with him


watch a movie with Jensen


Play Hannah Montana on Wii with the girls


shoot some hoops with Tanner


write a couple of thank you notes to people who enrich my life


...and ENJOY my family being home!

Excellent idea! Sometimes that is all that matters. And looking back on their time spent with you, you kids won't be concerned with your laundry Nirvana, but they will remember the time u spent with them.

Builders vs. Wreckers

A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
