When my house is quiet and clean, angels tucked away in bed, I can't help but sit and thank my Heavenly Father for so many things. I am so lucky to have two beautiful and healthy girls. This is my joy in life. I am thankful for a job that is fulfilling. I am lucky and extremely thankful for family. My family is so great. They will support me and be by my side forever. I am thankful for the gospel... I know, sounds cliche, but really. I know that this is the one true church and I am glad that I am a part of it. I am thankful for my trials. I know because of them I will be a stronger person...ONE DAY. I am grateful for friends. I have a lot of good ones. Really good ones. I am very thankful to live in a nice place in a free country.
I am thankful that sometimes life slaps you in the face and makes you step back and realize how good you have it...how good I have it.

Today

Today was a really nice day so I ran to Lowes to get a few flowers to plant. Dylan loved it. She was very "helpful." Monie loved it too. She just sat there and soaked up the freah air. These little girls are so sweet. They love eachother. This is amazing. Happy kids, the weather, some pretty flowers and the backdoor wide open.

Lately we have been...

My World

Being a mom is the most amazing job ever. These girls are my world. I thank the lord one hundred times a day.

Girls,

I love you with everything that I am.

I want the best for you, I wish I could give you what you deserve.

You two make me better.

I am sorry that I get frustrated with you guys sometimes...I don't mean it.

You can achieve anything you want.

Always love eachother and be there for one another, for there is nothing like a sister.

I am proud of you two.

I hope forever you know how much you mean to me.

YOU ARE MY WORLD.

Love, Mom

A Little Late...

This year Christmas was wonderful.A new baby, an almost two year old familiar with Santa and some delicious Williams Sonoma hot choc. We started out at our house where Santa left Dylan her kitchen...she loved it! We then headed down to the LVon Christmas afternoon to spend some time with my family. We had a Christmas tea party with Grandma and papa didnt dissapoint with the gift of play dough for D. We had a great time and even got to catch matts family on their way down to Disneyland. Thanks to all for the wonderful gifts. Did I mention Matt got me and amazing new camera? He did. What a sweetie. The Christmas spirit was strong and we thank thee for all we have!
