Amazing

Busy does not even begin to define my life. I'm like busy on a Rockstar with Monster chaser. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm coming or going.  Sometimes I suspect I'm like a dog chasing its own tail.

Frankly, I'm somewhat amazed that I am able to get through every day with some level of sanity. Notice I said "some" sanity.

This weekend the girls and I had the opportunity to attend "Time out for Women," and "Time out for Girls." It was amazing.

Yes, my goal is to type the word "amazing" as frequently as possible. :)

I learned so much, or relearned. Our human brains need constant reminders of the things that we already know but have to hear over and over and over....

Most of all I just had the chance to feel my spiritual cup and REMEMBER how important it is to feed out Spirit. Life is busy. There is really no other words to describe it but sometimes we just have to stop and let the Spirit talk to us.

Yes, I shed some tears. Yes, I realized how important the gospel is in my life. Yes, I felt blessed that my trials, in comparison to others, seem so small. I also realized that I need to trust the Lord a little more. I need to know that he has my back and even if he lets me fall it is only to help me stand back up a little taller.

I feel incredibly blessed to have the life I have. My faults are what give me character. I do not want anyone else's life because the life I have is priceless.

The only thing I really need is for someone to follow me around reminding me what I already know.

Have an exceptional week friends.

This week my son and I have a date at the Utah Symphony I'm very excited.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
