{Tuesday 10...}



1. We all need a little peace. However we can get it;) So many fast paced crazy things happening all around us, some life changing some in our own families..... sometimes the quiet moments where our minds aren't running in fast forward are the very best fleeting moments of peace. A prayer, a deep breath, an early morning sun where ever it might be.


2. Feeling exactly like this article here in the last few days of school:)

3.K2 & I have a head cold and I have swollen ankles/water retention the past 4 days along with it any correlation?? weird and annoying:/

4.I have a great husband never mind that he's a great dad to my lucky kids or a great boss and husband and friend.... but he can whip things up like this in 3 hours from store to hot dog roast:) LOVE IT. LOVE HIM. Love all the memories this will provide love how much the kids loved it too. I loved listening to them talk and laugh and have so much fun. Thats what life is all about making great memories :)

oh and he built me this deck flower box the same afternoon:) love it and the flower inside it;)
 

5.Fathers Day was great love this picture. Pretty Accurate;) Pretty Blessed. Happy Fathers Day to my father, my Father in law and each of my children's birth fathers where ever they may be. We all somehow by miracle came together to form this eternal family what a blessing to me everyday that thought is.


6. For our Primary kids we did these for the kids to give to their dads this and a questionnaire we helped them fill out.... fast and easy :) link here to the printable... thank goodness for free printables:) So nice...

7. I love instagram {in case you couldn't tell yet ha ha} . I Love the randomness of it. I love playing around with easy edits and then the rare shot like these that make me stop and wonder where the the time has gone.... 
BECAUSE
This little boy will be 4 in 2 weeks

8. This weeks favorite QUOTE is this one 

[The institutions of marriage and the family] must be fortified and preserved. They must be morally and spiritually sound. No nation can rise above its homes. The good home is the rock foundation—the cornerstone of civilization... [especially] in building character. There can be no satisfactory substitute for the home... [which] must be safeguarded, strengthened, and restored to its rightful importance.” –Ezra T. Benson

9. The kids have 3 days left of this school year which is totally crazy they have all had a good learning year new life lessons and learning to read write and do math etc. Proud of each one of them they are all such good kids and work hard insane to think they will be in grades Pre/2/4/6 Wow......

10. Weird to be out of the baby stage and into this next stage wondering if its forever or whats next and probably that feeling will never go away....Guess thats Life right....Enjoy it all:)
Change is inevitable and thats just what life is:)

Have a great Week:)

Not sure why I am just realizing your oldest and my 2nd oldest are the same age and both are boys. And your 2nd and my 3rd are the same. If we lived close how fun would it be. Can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!
