31

well today I am feeling grateful for my wonderful life. I am grateful to be a wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt and friend. A few days ago, my son Isaac said,

"Did you know you are at the perfect age?"

Me: "Oh really?"

Isaac: "Yes, I learned in church that 30 is the perfect age, because when we go to Heaven, we will all be 30."

Me: "Well! That sounds perfect... Thanks Isaac."

Well today I am 31 and am humbled by all the many blessings in my life. I have so much to be grateful for and am going to try to focus on all the simple beauties that surround and enrich my existence every day. Like this tiny little hand that is holding my finger as I type. :) Now she is singing a song about our fingers... ahh... life is good.

I got to spend my/our birthday weekend up at my sister Lisa's house. This is the first time Lisa and I have been together on our birthdays in many years (her birthday is the day before mine, if you didn't know). It was really fun! She is a wonderful sister and I'm glad to have her in my life and be so close to her. We have many memories of having birthdays together, so Im posting a couple pictures of when we were small (thanks Dad for hunting them down for me!)... Enjoy!

Spring has Sprung!

I LOVE that spring is here! The flowers blooming, the sound and smell of fresh cut grass, the kids being able to play outside again (HALLELUJAH), trees budding, wondering what flowers to plant this year, chalk pictures, birds singing....*sigh*.... I am loving it.

"Whenever I hear the song of a bird Or look at the blue, blue sky, Whenever I feel the rain on my face Or the wind as it rushes by, Whenever I touch a velvet rose Or walk by our lilac tree, I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world Heav’nly Father created for me."

Why?

Why am I so bad at blogging lately? Hmm.... thoughts?! I do enjoy it, and look at all of your's all the time, but just don't take the time to update my own... HELP!

One of my favorite moments from a trip I will be blogging about soon.... hopefully.
