Grateful Tuesday

This is how my kids  spent most of Sunday

I know this is not Sunday but I really need to right what I am grateful for with all the stuff going on

My sister in law Lena was just diagnosed with Lymphoma 

She is having surgery today.  She needs prayers 

so if you could please pray for her

She is one amazing lady and the perfect wife for my brother Nik

I feel like she filled a void in our family.

I love talking with her,  we talk about everything.

Books, music, tv, our men, decorating, kids,  and anything else you can think of.

I really do love her.  I hope that everything turns out well.

General Conference was amazing this last weekend.

It filled my soul with  a desire to do better.

I loved talking to my kids about the talks and what they meant.

Their innocence and simple strong faith is inspirational

I was explaining to Noah what an apostle was and the quorum of the twelve.

He looks up at me and says "Yeah Mom,  

I one of Heavenly Father's special helpers too.  I work really hard for him"  

My favorite line Noah said was when I told him the next speaker was David A Bednar

He said it sounds like Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars.  He is in the original trilogy.

At least he is getting his rhyming words down.

We rearranged the basement on Saturday.  

It was a very satisfying day.  We got a lot done downstairs.  

It looks and feels so much better.  

Thanks honey for all your hard work.

There really is nothing better than working together. 

My kids went to the doc on March 31st.  

Noah's Stats for his official 5 year old well ck

36.4 lbs or 16.5 kg in the  25%

41 1/2 inches in the 25%

and he is too big for them to measure his head

but he did pass the visual eye exam

Sofia's Stats at 15 months

21 lbs 8 oz or 9.76 kg in the 25%  

30 1/4 inches in length in the 50%

head cir.  46 cm in the 50%

They are both doing so well and just joyful and wonderful kids.
