My Sweet Heart Molly!

Molly found my glasses and put them on and

thought that was so cool, yes they are upside down!

Oh Molly has been so funny today! I just had to post some of the funny cute things that she has said...

*We (me & the girls) stayed home form church due all of our illness. I had gotten Molly breakfast and after finishing it all, she was sitting at the bar with her play phone and she did some dialing and then said...

"Hello? Oh hi mommy! Down Please." She just kept repeating this funny fake phone call until I wiped her off and got her down.

*Kris had decided that he would come home during Sunday school to get Molly and take her to sacrament meeting. So we were getting her dressed and then I took her into the bathroom to get her hair done. I did pig tails (it's been a while since we have done that) I put her on the counter so she was facing the mirror and then when I had finished before I had said anything she said... "I Like It!" So random and I don't think I have ever heard that phrase come from her.

*So I had made dinner and we were sitting down eating and out of nowhere Molly said... "Thank you mommy!" Oh can I tell you what that did for me? Man being a mom is sometimes the most thankless job ever, and to hear my sweet little 2 year old say thank you unprovoked made my day! How lucky I am to have this sweet heart in my life!

Giving Thanks: Day 16 {Sleep}

Yea! Stella and Molly both slept so well last night. Molly got up before Stella, but Stella slept 8 1/2 hours! It was much needed rest as we are all trying to recover from this nasty cold we have had in our house for over 5 weeks now! I am very thankful for Stella sleeping so long!

Giving Thanks: Day 15 {Understanding}

You know those moments that you preserve a situation one way and it's not a good thing and then you find that understanding that you have been looking for and all of the sudden it is clear and things seem better and not only that, but if feels as if you have taken off a 100 lb loaded backpack. That is exactly what happened today. I am thankful that I was able to gain that understanding today and feel the relief that that understanding brings. How grateful I am for those times of not understanding and those times of understanding, and a husband that is so patient with me during all of those times!

Giving Thanks: Day 14 {Home Repairs}

I'm so glad that we were able to get some of the electrical stuff done that we have needed to get done in the house and in the basement so we can continue to move forward and finish the basement!

Giving Thanks: Day 13 {Prespective}

So today I took the girls to get their pictures taken. I wasn't wanting to get them ready before we left so I took everything thing I needed and figured I would get them ready at Kate's. I knew the second I did Molly's hair she would either pull it out or put her blanket over her head. First thing Molly did when I put her in her car seat was put her blanket over her head. (totally glad I waited) When I got there and was getting the girls ready I realized I had forgotten socks for Stella. (bummer) so I kept going and started to do Molly's hair... Oh ya Stella's socks were in the bag with all of the bows!!!!!! Nice. Well cute Kate found what she could to help me out and we made due. I figured I could be totally bugged that I had forgotten a major part of their wardrobe or I could just go with the flow and not stress. Maybe it's that I have total faith in Kate and her photography skills but I was glad that I had the sense and perspective I did and was able to let it just roll off my back!

Giving Thanks: Day 12 {My Young Women}

Tonight was soooo much fun! We didn't do anything absolutely amazing, but I was the only leader there. That has never been the case and I still wonder if I'm old enough to be the only one in charge of an activity. I was just so glad that I had the chance to just be with them. I feel like I know them all so much better and those that I didn't know as well really seemed to come out of their shells. I have taken them home and had some one on one with a few of them, but this was different... I just am really glad that I had this opportunity, I feel that my love for them has increased for each of them more than ever. What an awesome opportunity!

Giving Thanks: Day 11 {Peace}

You know those days you wake up and feel like possibly you should have stayed in bed? That seemed to be this morning. I know I'm not perfect by any means but this morning I woke up still feeling a bit under the weather, with a massive headache. On top of that I have been criticized several times today, most days this wouldn't really effect me, but today I was already feeling under the weather and literally bent down so it was a bit harder. It's now 8:30 and still not felling delighted at the pointing out of my many faults I have had to seek for the peace of mind that I am doing the very best that I can in all aspects of my life and I know that there are places in which I can improve greatly I feel that I truly have done all that has been required of me and I have peaceful feeling that of "I have done the best I can, now it's time to let go." I know this is a really random post and it's not making much sense, but I am thankful for the spirit, and the peace and comfort it brings to our crazy lives when we need it most. That is what I'm thankful for today!
