{Me Thinks...}

I love weekends especially ones where we get a lot accomplished, Or ones that start to actually feel like SPRING I got outside and ran early Saturday morn it felt so good! We enjoyed  some fun family time since we had been away all week. Got chores done, K took in his bottles that's always an exciting day for him. He is in charge of recycling around here with all his bottles and such and gets his spending money from what he collects or gets from grandma. He saves up his money for something he wants & saves the rest for the future. Works for all of us it not only teaches him to save, but to work for it and to spend his money wisely, also makes him responsible to take the jugs or cans to the bin if not..... I have a habit of just throwing them away.

Sunday we went to Grandmas and Grandpas for dinner and the cousins all played and we got to meet our sweet new little niece Emmelyn and K2 showed off his new skillz.....

that look kind of like this...our baby is growing up way to fast....he is pretty proud of himself too, its so cute he gets the biggest grins and is trying more and more things everyday!

TODAY HE WAVED GOODBYE TO DAD WHEN HE WAS LEAVING FOR WORK

it was the cutest thing!!!

and today he also pulled open the under drawer of the stove and started pulling things out ahhh 

gone are the quiet playing on a blanket with toys days! 

Bring on the cupboard latches and plug covers I guess...

cause our babe is moving....

 

I just can't get enough of him seriously love this boy he is so dang cute!!

So random I just have to throw this picture in because it makes me laugh when we were in Boise my kids all feel asleep watching a movie while the adults played games and whatever. Anyway when we were ready to go back to our hotel the kids were so ready for bed and dead tired  and ended up like this on my sisters floor before we carried everyone of them to the burb.... seroisuly makes me lol

This is called tired. love L's belly and K2 and M!! heck all of them...

okay anyway back to today....

ME THINKS

.....I found these quotes this week and loved them. They made me think and you know I love things like that. 

But how true there really isn't a better way then to get on our knees when life gets hard or when we think we can't make it through the next trial or even the next day.

I've had lots of times when I'm praying that thoughts or a scripture comes to mind and its totally what I needed at that time in my life and that day. 

Things that never would have come to me in any other way than if I was praying. Isn't it amazing to know that HE hears us when we pray. I've had to many situations to even deny that  

Prayer is the key to overcoming some our hardest moments in life.

Isn't it great to know that when life gets hard there is someone ready and willing to help us along, to guide us and help us help ourselves or those around us, to  guide us through those things in life that are ours to go through and learn from.

Sometimes its just days where we wish we were somebody else or wish we had this or that or could do this or that....

when what we need to do is...

"Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not."

I think that through prayer I've learned that its okay to be ME I don't have to be good at everything, I don't have to be a super mom to be a good mom. I don't need whatever I think it is I need to be happy, I don't need to be the cookie cutter of someone else. 

BECAUSE I AM ME.

...and that's what makes life interesting is that we aren't all the same. and its learning that its okay we all have different talents, different bodies, thoughts, and goals

When we learn to be what we are instead of trying to be something we are not...

whether its through prayer...through experience..or just living life year to year.

Its being happy with who we are and living and trying our best and sometimes figuring out what it is we need to do to get there. 

because we are all different and that's a good thing....

I think its all about finding out our individual worth..... 

and sometimes that brings us to our knees in more ways than one.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK MAKE IT COUNT!!
