{My top 10 thoughts of the week ...}





1. So the Kids are enjoying their new school year so far only a few mishaps;) always a learning experience especially for a certain 6 year old!!

2. K2 and I are throughly enjoying hanging out everyday we have lots of fun, walks, talks, meetings, appointments.....parent preschool together and its super fun he is such a good boy and listens so well...

3. We tried new recipes.....enjoyed the sun and I even hand wrote TWO letters haven't done that in forever sad really used to be my favorite thing I love letters, mails and packages!


4. K2 Discovered what sour is....

5. We went to a pinterest lunch were we learned to make mozza cheese  its really good and super easy!!Then we all brought a dish we wanted to make from pinterest so many yummy things..and then talked about what things work and what not to bother trying it was really fun! Found here


6. Then came Monday and with it came a massive fire & hurricane winds to drive it in pretty much the same two places as last November so it was a very real  deja view feeling. Although it wasn't on the ranch dang close though.... the Ranch boys and D ended up fighting fire all afternoon and into late night! He came home a smelly,sooted black man with hurtin lungs ...



8. I am so heartbroken for so many people from all over right now so many sad & awful things happening to people all over.... making choices that make you want to cry for them for there families, for the tests in this life. I look around and I see the one word that describes so much what is happening and it is a lack of COMMITMENT in so so many areas right now....
 I see it everywhere..
I read a quote that said

"If you're to busy to read your scriptures, or say your prayers, you are busier than God ever intended you to be....."

how often are we so busy these days we don't even really talk to our kids, or talk at night to our husbands and wives??? because we are checking up on the latest on face book, twitter or whatever it may be instead of reading, praying and talking to those that mean the most to us
actually 
.....being connected in real time...

something to think about.

"It is good advice to slow down a little, steady the course, and focus on the essentials when experiencing adverse conditions." — President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

9. Sad that K2's nystagmus has started to become more obvious now that he is getting older...he tilts his head to the side where his eyes can see best and it seems to be more obvious lately or its getting worse not sure what one .. it also means his big surgery is coming sooner than I want it to :(  {its a good thing just a scary thing for him to have to go through } but we have an appointment with the specialist coming up so I guess we'll see what's next!My favorite little 3 year old in the whole world I just LOVE this boy!!!



and 10. My favorite quote of the week...
"What you allow, is what will continue."
{goes for so many things in life doesn't it}
 
Have a great week...

I LOVE that you have a board of pins you've actually tried so I know whether or not to pin it!
I also always love all your quotes. We should walk to the park with our little guys and let them play while their siblings are at school. K2 is one of the few kids Jace will actually play/ share with so I'm thinking that must mean he loves playing with him. :)

It's so so true.
glad your kids are liking school!
