I am so grateful for living this life of mine! I think about the wonderful friends and family that I have and my heart just fills to overflowing with joy! I am so grateful that I am having this experience here on this Earth right at this moment! I am grateful all of my children are healthy and happy! I am grateful they are getting old enough to be independent and to do really fun things! I miss having babies sometimes ( babies are the sweetest!) but I really love my older children! I love having teenage children that fill my life with so much love and conversation! I love to pick Jaydn up from Football and hear how he did in practice and listen to all of his stories, he is quite a jabberjaw!I especially LOVE to tease him, relentlessly...he takes it all in stride and just smiles and tells me I torture him...then he smirks ...he loves it! I love watching Leavi interact with others and to see how she excels in all that she does!I love to watch her cook and to hear about her dreams...they are CRAZY! I love being a part of my Kolo's life and seeing that he is so intelligent and capable of doing many great things!I love to listen to him talk to his friend, Elliot...I spy on them...they crack me up! I love that Kole is a leader and he doesn't give in easily!I love his sweetness even when he is also ornery! I love my Bob and I hope that I will get to snuggle that little boy for the rest of my life! I love to hear him reading to me. He is so funny when he reads. He tries to get the inflection just perfect so he re-reads sentences like 5 times...no wonder he scores just average on his school reading level tests but he really can read much higher than he tests and he understands it all. He is a wonder to me! I love the smell of his hair (weird...I know).
I love that I have so many things to love about my life! I love my husband and how hard he works for our family! I love that he does go out and do great things with our kids. They are blessed to have such an active dad that will just pack up and go fishing/hiking/camping/sporting of any kind...whenever the mood strikes him, which is often!
When I asked Robert the other day to give me schedule of his planned outings he emailed me back and said this " Just know that very Saturday from now until the kids are out of the house I will be either: snowboarding, surfing, biking, kayaking, wind surfing, hiking, fishing, hunting, kite boarding, camping...or any other outdoor activity with one or more of our kids and you if you want!" I love him for making me crazy, and he does make me crazy but it is a GOOD crazy!
We need to have unlimited funds( like winning the lottery or something, but that is hard to win when you don't play it huh?) so I can hire someone to pack and unpack and clean up after each one of these special activities:) ha ha:)
My dream: 4 washers and 4 dryers...6 boot dryers...2 more garages...unlimited storage space that always stays clean and tidy...and a personal assistant at my every whim and beckoned call! Wouldn't that be grand?
For now I am grateful that I have a perfectly healthy and fit body that I can do all these things with for myself and I pray my attitude will be a smidgen sweeter, about all of the work that goes into my WONDERFUL life!
Dream vacation:
Sitting in a fancy,fancy hotel room ( doesn't matter where) reading every book I have ever wanted but haven't had time to read, while "enduring" endless massages and body treatments. Having my meals brought to me and my room cleaned for me! And having the ability to instantly telaport to wherever my family members are and watch them do their activities and telaport back to the cushy life... Oh the life...
WAIT!
I love my life just the way it is!
Really:)
My life wouldn't be my life if I didn't put a little elbow grease into it!

I'm glad you like my "oh yehs.." lol I couldn't think of anything else!! I decided not to be private anymore.. i didn't realize you didn't get updated if I was... That's not my only reason but yeh. When I feel like someone is stalking me or I feel uncomfortable about it then I might again. But until then, I'm not. Phew, that was a mouth full. lol Anyways, thanks for the comment, keep it' a comin! ;o) PS, You look great. :o)
I know you dont want to hear it but anything worth having isnt easy to come by. But it would be nice. I wonder if there will be bathrooms to clean and dishes to wash in heaven.
I just think your posts are so inspiring and I feel blessed when I read them. I love your family and we just are so grateful to have had the time with you this summer. You are welcome any time!
So many wonderful blessings. I can't wait till my children are older. I am so curious to find out what kind of person they will be. You are so blessed to have such great children. Your husband sounds like my hubby. We need to live by each other after we are done with school so Adam can do all those activites with Robert. By the way you look awesome!!
