"Our Father in Heaven has given us, His children, much more than any mortal mind can comprehend. Under His direction the Great Jehovah created this wonderous world we live in . God the Father watches over us, fills our hearts with breathtaking joy, brightens our darkest hours with blessed peace, distills upon our minds precious truths, shepherds us through times of distress, rejoices when we rejoice, and answers our righteous petitions." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009

Boats

My kids love to play pretend. They are always dressing up in what every they can find to put on. A few weeks ago I brought down 2 king size pillows I was going to get rid of. Julia and Bryant decided they could make toys out of them. One day they were bridges they could walk over. The next day they were boats. They would stand on them and the other would pull it. Well Bryant pulled it right out from under Julia and she fell and busted her chin on the tile floor. When she first come to me crying I seen this thin red line under her chin where it was starting to bleed and I just thought it was a scrape. But as she stood there sobbing the thin line opened up into a gash about the size of my thumb. She probably needed to have a few stitches, but since I stay at home now our insurance has ended and Paul’s doesn’t take effect until the end of the month so I put some butterfly band-aids and Neosporin on it. She’s a tough little girl! She only cried for a few min. until I got the band-aid on it, and that was it. The is under her chin so it’s not that noticeable. They play way too rough with each other. But I can’t seem to stop them.
It's healing up good!
Day after it happened! This morning!

1. I do not like to have my faced touched by anyone.
2. Whenever I read one of President Hinkley’s books, I can hear his voice in my head as I read it. Isn’t that crazy only happens with his books though.
3. I love to cook and hate to clean up afterwards. When I first got married after I finished cooking, Paul would always clean up the kitchen. Not anymore :(
4. I read this book by Gary Chapman called The 5 Love Languages. Loved the book but I couldn’t figure out what my love language was. So I discussed it with Paul (because he’ll never read the book) and he had to tell me what my love language was. (Acts of Service.)
5. I rarely finish a project I start. I have a closet full of stuff I never finished, going all the way back to an outfit I was making in a sewing class in 8th grade. Even when cleaning I get distracted. I can be cleaning in one room and go to another for something and start cleaning something in there, then go for something else in another room and never finish the first room I started on.
6. I hate to look at pictures of myself past or present, because it makes me realize how much weight I’ve put on in the past 5 years. It’s depressing.
7. I am not a morning person. I much prefer staying up late. Probably because every job I had always required it. Julia wakes me every morning around 9, saying Mommy the sun is shinning in my room it’s time to get up.


So here we go -Afton, Brandon, Melinda, Savannah, and the Thompsons - Tag - you're it!
