A Special Visit

This afternoon I was sitting out with a few of our neighbors letting the kids ride bikes and play. Have I mentioned how much I love our little street, it is so awesome.

We saw a fire truck and a police car drive past our house down the street no lights were on but they were on there way somewhere.

A few minutes later they were leaving instead of just pulling out of our track they stopped in front of the house, they got out and said hi to all the kids and gave them fireman hats and stickers. It was so nice! The kids were all excited and felt very special.

We love our local heroes!!

Luckily I had my phone on me and was able to snap a few pictures!!

Silver Linings today......

I feel like the last few days I have been a downer. I need to look for the happy I know I can in every situation. I have NOT been doing that. Today after the park I have decided to find the happy.

The happy today

*Missy surprised us this morning and brought over some YUMMY cinnamon rolls. So good. Thanks again Missy.

*All three of my kids took a nap today!! WAHOOO!

*Jeff is finally feeling better! Thank goodness!

*My awesome curling iron came in the mail today! Thanks again Katie for the great deal!

*We finally fixed our Itunes and now we can both get music on our phones!

*I am almost completely finished with my Christmas shopping. I have NEVER been this prepared!

*This weekend Gap, Old Navy and Banana is having there 30% off sale I love the friends and family weekend! Did you know it works at the outlets....I am seriously considering hitting those up I need new jeans!

*Speaking of new jeans my jeans that I bought in September are already too big even with a belt! (if that's not happy I don't know what is!)

*Last night I tried Yoga. It was really relaxing I needed it after the last few days.

*I love todo lists I have been writing lists like crazy and it is the best feeling at the end of the day to see everything checked off!
I hope you find some silver linings in your day today!!

decontamination

I'm so sick of being sick. Just when I think we are ALL well then another one bites the dust and it has been this way since August.


Today I am planning on starting the decontamination process. We have to be well. I can't take sickos any longer. I am strating to have MAJOR cabin fever!


Anyone any tips on staying healthy. I will take any suggestions on staying well!!

Spoiled!

Yesterday after Noah's soccer game Grandpa and Grandma offered to take the boys to ZOOMERS petting zoo down in San Juan. The boys had a great time here are a few pictures of their fun outing. Noah loved the guiena pigs. These boys are dying for a pet....mom is too.









It was great because Jeff and I got a lot of shopping done. It is amazing how easy it is to do with one kid...ah the good old days! No they are all good just different. Now poor Jeff is sicker than a dog with strep throat. Every two weeks somebody else gets it. I am so over being sick!!!!

I have a dream.....

In my dreams I would love to be....

A party planner

florist (did you see the new show un cut on TLC) amazing

photographer...this will be coming sooner rather than later classes and work shops start in January. I can't wait!

Cake decorator

Professional Scrapbooker

labor and delivery nurse too bad I would never make it through nursing school.

Martha Stewart....hey I said dreams.


I feel like I am on the search lately. I want a little something more a new hobby to fill my days. I feel like I am closing the baby chapters in my life. I will always be a mom first but I am realizing how fast the time goes bye and in a few years they will all be in school so these are a few ideas for my future!

Did I mention I just learned to post from iPhone! So awesome!

Because there are moments like these....

Being a Mom is a roller coaster of ups and downs. Hard days and fabulous days. this photo was a few weeks ago. Sawyer wanted to cuddle. He has been horribly hard lately, but just when I think I might loose it, he does the cutest, kindest thing, which reminds me that he has a pure little heart and yes we have some work to do, but it's not in vain and it will take work. I am so lucky to be here everyday to witness every moment!

Thoughts This Thursday....

(This pic has nothing to do with my post but hey it's cute!)
*My cold was nice enough to subside while I prepped for the party, but this morning oh boy was I feeling it!! (maybe that accounts for my overly sensitive mood?)

*I LOVED the weather today, too bad it never lasts but I am totally enjoying my sweater I got in SB a few weeks ago, seriously I may wear it EVERYDAY!!!

*I have been stalking my mailbox for the November Ensign. Does that make me a nerd? I am starting to wonder if I didn't realize that our subscriptions were up. Did you get yours? I can't help it I LOVE to read the conference talks, I need to see them visually. On a side note my most favorite conference experience was when I was a sophomore in college and on the Yearbook staff, I got to attend conference and sit in the press box....did you know they had one....oh yes they do but it is great they give you copies of the talks, the especially neat part was when they went off their written scripts and were lead by the spirit, such a powerful experience....anyway WAY off topic!!

*A pedicure cures all! Really it does! I love love love a pedicure!

*I am obsessed with headbands. I just learned online how to make the cutest fabric yo=yos and I can't wait to slap them on a headband.

*I am a little sad that all the Christmas stuff is up I feel like the retail industry has completely forgotten about the Thanksgiving holiday.....not that I don't love Christmas.

* I am loving our train table back in the toy room, fabulous the room is a mess but at least the front room is clean!

Okay that is enough of my random post. Happy Thursday everyone!
