Thankful

I need a reminder today of all I have to be thankful for.
So here's my list in no particular order:

1. I'm thankful for "72 Hour" kits that have just the thing you need right when you need it.

2. I'm thankful for pictures of sunshine drawn by my children.

3. I'm thankful for fish and that all my kids like to eat it.

4. I'm thankful for the new bread machine a sweet lady in my ward gave me.

5. I'm thankful that my children still need me to comfort them when they are scared (during my shower this morning, Joshy would not leave the bathroom until I was out; he's still scared)

6. I'm thankful for music and that my children love it and always ask to listen to it. It was 80's day in our house this evening. (80's music always reminds me of Stacie!)

7. I'm thankful for good books.

8. I'm thankful for "enlightening" blogs like this one here and this one here. 

9. I'm thankful for yoga. It calms and relaxes me and makes me more patient with my children.

10. I'm thankful for the weekend. And for Diet Dr. Pepper and even though Trevor stopped drinking Diet Coke (shocking, I know) he will allow himself one on Saturdays. Something about saving money or something. Whatever... (I'm kidding; I wish I was that self disciplined)

And that is my thankful list. I have many more things to be thankful for but today I'm just letting it be the simple things.

Off to bed to read and snuggle.

Good night.

PS: When would be an appropriate time to start a "countdown to summer"? I'm thinking soon....

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
