here are a few random pics of stuff that made me smile lately:
abe got an instagram.
he discovered someone started a "cutest couples" page for his school and look who it highlighted. abe...and some girl he has never talked to:) haha!
the boys got creative one afternoon...
vivian learned how to take selfies... more where these came from:)
the plant at the dentist office that vivian walked over to, studied for a minute, then took a pretty good bite out of one of the leaves...we need to stop reading 'a very hungry caterpillar'! abe and i got a good laugh. i wish i had a picture of her face as she spit it out.
best fan club ever...these little people are troopers.
they have been to their share of ball games!
vivs went with me to the church to rebound for sadie. sadie would shoot and vivian would smile and happily jump or clap and say, "nice!" or "nice shot!"
went with kai to his scout klondike.
super cold but fun. i was happy to spend the morning with kai.
i went home and tried to get warm and kai turned around and went skiing with dave for the afternoon.
sling shots and snow sculptures
we went to church.
vivian refused her coat...couldn't cover up her sparkly dress!
i really love church.
i know that might sound weird, but i love watching abe pass the sacrament, i love serving in the primary and the ladies i work with, i love watching vivian get excited about nursery. it is a good boost for me spiritually each week. sadie bore her testimony about her seminary class. she was put in a seminary class with the special needs kids in the high school and it was neat to hear her thoughts about helping them learn the gospel and the thoughts she had lately about focusing on other people, not just herself. she also was put in the mia maid presidency and was set apart after church. her priesthood blessing was so nice. it also talked about reaching outside of herself and promised if she put Heavenly Father first then she would be blessed in all her activities.
abe painted self portraits every day after school for about a week. a good relaxing thing to do before basketball practice and homework. this was my fave.
sadie and some friends went to the byu game together. fun for her to introduce them to her cousins and family. after games, it's kind of like a mini family reunion. it's great!
life is good. this is just a glimpse. i feel so grateful and i want to post a million more moments that make my life happy!
enjoy your day!
