No more, "Angry Mom Moments"
Today was an amazing day; thanks to a wonderful friend who watched my kids for several long hours when asked last minute, (Thank-you so much Darla!) I was able to go to the Rexburg Temple to be with my cousin Kenzie as she went through a session and got her endowments (she is getting married next week!!), then after we left the celestial room we went up to the Sealing Room and her family (my Aunt Leta and Uncle Brent and she and her sister Brittany) where sealed together for time and all eternity. The spirit was so strong as they all kneelt around the alter! This was one of those tender mercies of God moments for me, one of those powerfull glimpses into how much Heavenly Father knows and loves each of us...he is trully mindfull of us...amazing in't it!!! I wondered if my Dad was there in the temple taking part and I am sure he is so proud of his baby sister!!!
We also got our taxes back and it was much better news then we thought!!! (Yeah, baby!)
I just have to say I have two really good kids. They could tell I was in a hurry and they got ready and went and got in the car before I even asked them to! When I got in the car they where already buckled and grinning ear to ear. Isaac said, "Aren't you glad mom... we did this for you, so you didn't have to have an angry mom moment!" To cute! Sure made me stop and think... big huge note to self: A LITTLE MORE ADVANCED PLANNING ON MY PART WOULD MAKE OUR WHOLE FAMILY MUCH HAPPIER!!! To often, I am running around last minute gathering and nagging to get ready to go. Saying, "We're all ready late... hurry come on... we've gotta go!" My kids do not like to be rushed it seems and when I go into this frantice mode it seems to make them move like cold tar, then I get frustrated and just a bit cranky!
I just want to remember today because it was such a contrast from this pattern and is such motivation to make a change! My goal is to look at my calendar each morning for just a day in advance so that I can use that day to get things ready for the day to come. (What a novel idea... bet nobody has ever thought of that before ey?... jokes!... i just have to be sarcastic about this because i feel like it is so simple and silly...this is common sense and yet I struggle with it... taking baby steps to conquer a weekness works...one day in advance is progress!!!
I Will Become the Person I Want to Be!!!! I am gratefull for all that my children help me become! I love them sooo much!

Cabo San Lucas November 2007
We ate dinner at Big Tony's Surf Line Restaurant right out on the beach with pretty big waves crashing on the shore! I absolutely love the sounds and smell of the surf. It was amazing ambiance!!!
This is the sunrise from our balcony!!! Isn't it breath taking?
We are getting ready to go snorkeling!!! It was so amazing. We saw several different types of fish and we took a big bag of bread to get them to come a little closer... well they came all right! It was like swimming in fish for a few minutes you could feel them all over you as they went wild in a feeding frenzy. It was so freaky!!! Just behind being able to spend time with family...snorkeling was probably my favorite part of the trip!

my babies smiles, they sparkle
September 2007Isaac and Ella had so much fun swimming this summer,
this was a cold fall day but they begged and begged to put the sprinkler under the tramp just one last time. I gave in and then I could not get them to come in even though they were popsicles when I finally did!! This is one of my favorite pictures because it captures both of their gorgeous smiles and the twinkle in their eyes!
