{10 FOR Tuesday..and a giveaway:))..}

1. I love a warm spring breeze, sun on my face,  my four kids, my relaxing husband, a picnic, walks in the coulee's, throwing rocks in the river, and then the so silent sound that it rings in your ears kind of sound,  I LOVE where I live...so much beauty and I love the memories with the kids we make.... 

A perfect Sunday drive and afternoon:) 

 

2. Add a little flower sniffing, cactus pulling, animal spotting picture taking opportunities........... life is even better;)

3.  I love this homemade recipe I found on PINTEREST its so easy and its  an amazing night time face moisturizer, an after sun take the burn away cream, keeps your tan from peeling, SO many uses I use it on my legs and arms as lotion every morning I ♥ it!!

Recipe

1 cup of coconut oil in solid form

1 tsp of pure Vit E oil 

Whip in the Bosch or kitchen aid for 7 minutes on high

put in a container and use:)

Its amazing and you will see a difference in your skin after a bit super creamy and soft:)

4. Kolt got his first job today interview and all {at dad's office doing the yard work} SO proud of him D said he did a great job talking with the controller in his interview #seriouslywhereisthetimegoing

For FHE we planted the garden, cleaned up the yard {and did kid control:)

5. Part of our ADOPTION openness agreement for all of the kids are till they are 5 or 8 once a year pictures and letters.... we don't have visitation or anything .....but sometimes we run into them here and there those that are around here and its fun to see where they are and give them huge hug... 

It's always a very humbling feeling writing letters and compiling pictures. I am just SO grateful to each one of our Children's birth families without each of them we wouldn't be the family we are.

 SO grateful for forever families and the blessings of adoption in our lives.... Most often then not writing these letters and going through pictures from the previous year, finds me wiping away the tears streaming down my face. There is not a day that goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for each of these special spirits we get to raise and for each person that made each of these miracles part of our eternal family...

 6. We finally had M's birthday party he really really wanted to go back to the wave pool so we had him pick a few family friends that knew and trusted us to take there kids swimming:) They all had a blast there and afterwards at DQ......... We love our wild man M:)

 7. Not sure I can tell you how much I love this picture and the time K2 and I get together each day...he is such a smart, cute, fun boy, a complete joy..and its hard for me to think of him going off to preschool {can you guys believe that already didn't we just find out he was coming!!!} But he is SO ready he sometimes gets a little bored with me but I will most definitely cry when I drop him off for his first class. He is the sweetest kid and I can 't even begin to express how much he makes my day 

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

{He fell asleep on my arm at the counter one day last week while I was doing books.....}

8. Have you read this article its awesome and something to think about.

Found here

"The important thing is … it’s not too late to stop yelling.

The important thing is … children forgive–especially if they see the person they love trying to change.

The important thing is … life is too short to get upset over spilled cereal and misplaced shoes.

The important thing is … no matter what happened yesterday, today is a new day.

Today we can choose a peaceful response.

And in doing so, we can teach our children that peace builds bridges—bridges that can carry us over in times of trouble."
