I have been feeling kind of down lately, dealing with life's ups and downs. So I have been really praying hard to be blessed with peace and comfort.I know my heavenly father is mindful of me because he quickly reminded me of all the many blessing I have in my life.... and LIFE IS GOOD!!!
Here are just a few things that I am thankful for today:
Katie earned her Barbie and has been doing so GREAT at not sucking her fingers. What a relief for me! I was so worried to send her to kindergarten for fear she would be teased. The greatest reward as a parent is to see your children set goals and accomplish them and see their complete JOY and how proud they are of their accomplishments!
This morning when we were getting ready to the day the girls ran in the backyard and started swinging. Usually I hear "MOM... come push us!!!" But I didn't hear anything so I went back to check on them and they were swinging by themselves!!! I can't believe how grown up both my girls are. Brielle amazes me that she can do ANYTHING Katie does.My tulips have finally bloomed and they were worth the wait. It seemed most tulips had bloomed weeks ago and ours were taking forever. I LOVE spring and all the beautiful flowers. Our yard will never be as green and beautiful the rest of the year.

Jami, I hope you haven't been feeling TOO low. I really hope you are feeling better. Please call me and we'll take the kids to lunch or something. Especially if you need an ear/shoulder. I love you :)
Your flowers are beautiful! Your kids need to come teach my kids how to swing by themselves! That is a huge thing to be thankful for because it is a pain to always have to push them!!!
Life is good, especially when you are a mommy! It is so hard to get too down when you have little girls to cheer you up! I am convinced that children's laughter is the best medicine in the whole world! Whenever I am having a hard time with something I always go sit on my girls bedroom floor and read with them. Just sitting there with them makes me forget all my worries. Have a great Mother's Day...you are a great mom!!!!
glad you're feeling better. Hopefully a little St. George/Vegas sunshine will help. You are great, I'm so glad we're friends!!! Love you!
Your flowers are so pretty!! Spring flowers always lift my spirits. I hope you're feeling better. You've always been such a good friend and a good example to me. Happy Mother's Day! You deserve it!
p.s. scrapbooking at my house next Wednesday. I hope you can come!
