{10 on Tuesday}

Sure to follow

Its been a week but feels longer than that its been a deep freeze for so long here I feel like I may lose my mind some days but this to shall pass right:) And spring will come just like every stage of life sometimes there are parts we don't like, trials we endure, but spring will come. New life, new growth, new energy... and thats what I'm holding onto these days enjoying what each day brings and whats to come. Because with each day we get that much closer to where we want to be if we hold on. 
No matter what it is.

1. “It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living. . . Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions.”

2. My baby {who happens to be 12 ha ha} went on his first 6th grade field trip skiing today he was SO excited he could hardly sleep and all I could think about was will he be okay will he be safe will he get hurt have we taught him enough with a strong foundation to go out into the world and survive I think about that a lot lately. He's a good kid handsome kind and nice in all the things that matter... The worlds a scary place I can't help but worry...
Seems like he was just starting school yesterday

5.truth. Its all in the Attitude.
Life is Hard sometimes, but you make it harder by choosing a bitter path.
 6. This girl. My little sassy pants. She's getting good at push ups;)
{cause in our house sass means get down and give me 10;) 
Love this girl.

7. Remember When. Time goes by so fast. Cutest little kids ever! Miracles:)

8. People always ask me what I eat since I'm anal and have lots of allergies.... not that everyday is awesome but everyday is a fresh start.... It helps that I love veggies and fruit, some egg whites and a little meat every now and then lots of smoothies:) and the occasional chewy treat cause I can't totally give those up;)  Today's breakfast below was so good:)  So basically clean eating gluten/dairy free for the most part and i feel so much better:) 


10.  "If we look into each other's hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other with much more love, patience, tolerance and care.
- Elder Marvin J. Ashton
Love this.

So much going on in the world we all need a little happy,
a little reminder that we are important, 
a little sunshine to feel the love, 
a little fresh air a deep breath to be thankful for all that we do have right now despite the freezing cold sometimes that seems to last forever!

So this summer I'm looking forward to July 1st weekend for I get to come to Raymond and plus that's the one week I'll have with my husband all summer. A week of no work and the parade and time at echo lake with the people I LOVE.

Kami said...

I'm excited to move! We aren't sure where yet but we do know it will be above ground and I'm so ready to be out of the basement!

Maddie said...

I'm excited to get my mission papers started and in to leave by the end of this year! Probably not in the summer cuz I'm going to hopefully so EFY one more go round, but this year! SO stoked for that!

M said...

I am looking forward to completing my first Spartan Race with an amazing team that includes family and friends! I am also looking forward to the 4 family weddings already on the calendar.

My favourite thing about spring is rolling down the car windows with that first Slurpee and cranking the tunes!

Jackie S said...

I'm looking forward to warm, peaceful moments with a book swinging on the patio swing while the kids play in the yard. Ahhhh I can't wait!!!

Jaime said...

I'm looking forward to spring break and bringing this baby home!!

I'm excited to see our flowers start to grow-- it's a beautiful surprise every year! Thanks for your positive outlook-- we might as well be cheerful and count our blessings!

Lynn said...

It may seem funny...but I am seriously looking forward to surgery number two.....so I can get back into what life use to be like. lol. {I know...life is never the same....but you know what I mean.} Thanks for the refreshing reminder to look forward to something. The sun is shining through the window and I can pretend that Spring is just around the corner.

P.S. Your breakfast looks super yummy! What seasonings to do you use on it? Just salt and cracked pepper? Or a little lemon juice too? I'm really liking quinoa a lot this past year also. All those things you have on your breakfast plate would go well with quinoa. Very high in protein.

Mandi said...

More than anything, I am just simply looking forward to warmer weather and more sunshine!! Can't wait to get out into my garden and just enjoy being outside!

Nikki said...

I am super excited for YW camp this summer! Also, to take Caleb camping. My new favourite thing has been figuring out that tzatziki tastes great on sandwiches, since I've never been a mayo fan, but now I get a bit of extra flavor in my sandwiches:)

You're so cute. Some of your thoughts are the exact things I've been thinking lately. I was just about to sit and blog some of my own thoughts. I wish there was more time in the day for this stuff! I still really enjoy reading inspirational blogs but never do as much as I'd like. I always love your optimism and positive outlook on things. I want to surround myself with people like you. I have friends who have AMAZING lives and they just choose to see the negative parts and it's really frustrating to see that all the time. I know I'm not perfect either, but I really hate complainers :( So THANKS for being happy and bright and always seeing the good side of things. I LOVE those earrings. They are totally ME! Super duper fun. I am ready to wear more bright colors like that...maybe if I do it will bring Spring faster! lol. I am so ready to stop feeling cold. As much as I hate winter though, it totally makes me appreciate Summer more. It gets dang hot and humid here too and I tend to get uncomfortable as well...so I need to remember how cold it's been and how anxious we are for that HEAT! Love ya girly. Did I tell you I'll be in Utah on July 4th?? It seems like we talked about it, but now I can't remember. Will you be there too!!??

Tyler and Kristin Smith said...

"Just talk to me!" Hilarious. So so funny.
I love the push up idea with the kiddos. I'm totally starting that here. Myself and Tyler included.
Those coconut chips look delish. Hopefully there's some next time I go :)

I just love reading your blog! You always have something inspiring/uplifting to say, Thank-you for that!
I can't believe how big your kids are getting! I remember your oldest two as cute "littles", doesn't seem that long ago! You have a wonderful family!
I'm looking forward to the summertime, spending time with the kiddos swimming and playing! Also, since we live a day's drive away from any relatives, my kids only see their grandparents/cousins about twice a year... so I'm looking forward to them being able to spend some quality time with those people that love them!

I'm looking forward to camp fire smoke cuddles with my man, sunburns needing coconut oil, eating fresh veggies and fruit from our garden, chasing my *B around the local splash park, pulling a little red wagon to a picnic spot at the playground, bedtime stories by the light of the stars & sippin' homemade lemonade while reading a book with the AC blastin'!! :) Love your blog & love you.

Nora said...

Well.. it wont be a secret anymore, but I'm looking forward to being in a 5k run and dye... I cant run, but walking is fine in it. I've never done anything like this before, but its on my bucket list. I'm also looking forward to looking out my window and seeing colour... green grass, flowers etc, no more grey and white :) Love your blog, always look forward to reading it

Tisha said...
