Happy Father's Day...

Yesterday as I was at Wal-Mart looking for a card for Dave, tears filled my eyes as I thought of my dad.
I looked at the cards thinking if my dad were here what would I get for him?
The one I liked the best said...

"Every kid should have a Hero to look up to."
Then on the inside it said...
"I never had to search far to find my hero.
For me, Dad, it was you...
always you.
Happy Father's Day."

Happy Father's day to all the wonderful father's out there!

Family...

...it's about time.
I went to see my family this weekend.
Started in St. G at my cousin Jeffie's reception.
I do not have pics but my mom does so when I get them I'll post pics from that.
The night in St. G was gorgeous and the newlyweds look great together.

Then we drove to Mesa for my other cousins "farewell" talk.
Daniel is going to Portugal on his mish.
Kaden, Danny, and Lacey.
Daniel and Me.
I love my family.

Lilly and Layla are getting so big.

They are so precious, they are actually my cousins too, although I could be their aunt :)
I drove to Mesa with my Uncle Thaniel and my boys.
It was a nice trip as we went as a caravan with 4 generations to Mesa.
Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, cousins and our kids...

I love going to Mesa, AZ.
I got to see my friend/classmate LaDawn while I was there too.
Then last night I slept in St. G and before coming home to Provo today we went swimming and spent time with 'my boys grandparents' :).
I do not have pics from it all and details from it all, but it was a nice visit and much needed vacay for me.
I love you All!!!

Life

Well it has been over a week since I posted.
I do not have anything crazy or special to talk about.
I have continued writing in my journal.
After 3 bedrooms, 1 family room, 1 living room, 1 laundry room, 3 bathrooms, 5+ closets, 1 kitchen, 1 pantry,1 storage room. . . I am almost all unpacked and comfortable, but there is 1 room left and it is the room I am sitting in. ya. the spare bedroom/office/guest room/scrapbook room(but who does that anymore anyways???)/who wants to do it for me room?
I am comfortable in this home.
Work is stressful but I love what I do.
The boys are home with their dad during the day
and then home with me at night.
Life is good.
We are blessed!
I want to complain sometimes, but have to take things into perspective and recognize the hand of God in my life!
He's there, I KNOW it!

Sisters...

I love my sister!
We're all moved out and all moved in, but not unpacked.
I like our new place.
The internet got hooked up today.
I feel so blessed. I have definitely felt tender mercies of our Father in Heaven in my life.
I am grateful for all I have.
Grateful for these two little boys who keep me busy and teach me so much.
Grateful for a husband who loves me and loves spending time with our family.
Grateful for my extended family whom I Love and miss!
Most especially this week I am grateful for a little sister who loves me and spent so much time helping me and my family move. She really is the Best Auntie ever to David and Joey, and the Best Sister I Ever Had!!!
