Attempting to add more pictures

Well, I am trying to upload some pictures off my camera but the rechargable batteries we have are no longer being recharged- I need to get some new ones so I can post some of the fun pictures we have. Most of which I have had to delete because Chailyn keeps taking pictures of herself- most of which are of her with her tongue haning out or upside down.

Chailyn says the funniest stuff. Tonight she was in the tub & swallowed some water which made her then throw up. After she was all cleaned up she came down to me & said "hi mom, it's me the sick one." She just wanted a love and then back to play she went. She cracks me up. :)

Is the Garbage Heaven??

I have the greatest story to share. Last Sunday we were at my moms for family dinner and the kids were playing outside when they discovered a dead bird. My brother, Brady was the lucky winner to take care of the bird so he got the shovel out & as he was getting the bird on the shovel Chailyn, my five year old said "Uncle Brady, that bird is going to heaven huh?, Brady said yup, he then took the bird & put it in the garbage. Chailyn happened to follow him and said quite confused"Is the garbage Heaven??" Needless to say, we have laughed and laughed and we had the glove family home evening to explain our bodies and spirits to her and where our bodies go after we die and where our spirits go.
What a fun story- she is so dang funny.

Showing the house

Well, as most of you know we have our house up for sale and I am not happy getting no shows. I think it is really rude. Today is the 2nd time this week that someone has said they are were coming & pulled no shows on us. Oh well, hopefully it will sell soon soon so I don't have to stop working to clean my house. :)

Well, after I blogged about this the family showed up- 3 hours late, but they showed. They came back for a 2nd showing Friday so I guess we will see. :)

Gratitude

The past couple weeks I have constantly dwelled on the bad not focusing on any of the good in my life. Needless to say it has been a rough couple of weeks. My poor husband- it is a good thing he loves me.
All I can say now is FOCUS on the GOOD. There is so much good to be grateful for. I have truly been blessed in my life and I am thankful for all that I have. Especially my husband and my kids. They are so wonderful!!!

Thanks to all my good friends & to my mom and sister who were there for me. My mom came up and spent a couple days with me and the girls. She is soooo good to us. I have had AMAZING neighbors & friends who let me vent & listen to my negativity. Thanks to all of you. And to a kind Bishop who also let me vent & get out my feelings on the table. I think I shared more than he wanted to hear but he is so kind & loving. I came out feeling like my Heavenly Father loves me & appreciates all that I do.

Anyway- Thanks to everyone- I have such GREAT friends & family!!!
Love you all. :)
