Monday May 14

I was really happy this morning.

Just looking around the place we get to live, yes, so much still to do, but I sure love our life here.

We are blessed to live in a beautiful city, with an awesome ward and amazing neighbors.

I am blessed to have found Brent who has provided such a wonderful life for our little family.

Again, far from perfect.....but I was just really struck today with how thankful I am.

So, that's the kind of thing you put in your journal, right :)

I got to have a fun day today.

After dropping the kids off at school, I worked out.

Then I went and visited one of my ministering ladies :)

That was a fun time, then we took a card for another because it is her birthday.

When I got home, I gathered up my stuff and went to Elsie's art smart.

At the last art smart class we had, I asked the kids what they would like to do for their very last art smart class ever?

They all voted for tye-dye.

I told them that tye-dye was messy.....but I would see what I could come up with.

Well, I found a fun way to do it with way less mess!

You use sharpies and rubbing alcohol!

It was super fun and the kids made some really fun shirts :)

It is a really great class!

I took Elsie early from school for PT.

Katie tried a new stretch/massage type thing on her core....we will see how that helps her out.

It really relaxed her and that was nice :)

Then we went to Costco on our way home.

Back at home Madi was hired to paint some mermaid faces at a little kids birthday party.

That was a lot of fun.

She also started mowing the lawn when she was done with that.

Cassi and Porter had a little Mule adventure...running out of gas on the canal road and then getting some from a neighbor :)

We all got to bed at a good time....so I hope we sleep good tonight.

I hope Dad gets some sleep.

He had a busy day out in the sun!

They had fun doing some rope rescue training.
