Little Things This Week

Monday night we finally set up this tent for the first time. We bought it nearly two years ago..... Why did it take that long you ask. Having babies and having a husband that works a ton of hours and not having a yard would be the answer. It went up easily and Natalie was excited to sit in it. Jenna, not so much, but she was really tired. We used it as our acitivty portion of FHE. The lesson was on Lehi. :)

I keep saying I want to rip out these cactus that are in several areas of our yard. I mean who likes prickly things. They have redeemed themselves with these beautiful cheery blooms I have noticed this week. 

Here is a copy of a workout I drew up for a workout group at the church. I teach Monday's class and am really grateful for the opportunity. Fitness is one of my passions and it has been fun to share it with some great ladies. Working out together is always more fun than working out alone.

 

My grandma's yard, that is now our yard is so calming and carries great beauty in the large and diverse plants. This is the peony bush that has bloomed early this year. It reminds me of my grandma. I love how huge the blossoms are on it. Aren't flowers just one of the best creations?

Jenna's got a cold at the latter part of the week. We had a couple rough days from that. I think she will be ok, as she is very happy now, but still makes some very raspy noises and is congested. 

Natalie will only wear 'Frozen' attire for anything she is doing. It is cute and at times frustrating. I ordered her some Frozen crocs because her Frozen flip flops were not working out. She told me she needed sparkly shoes. Justin's job is going well and busy. It has it's challenges, but overall it is a big blessing to him and us that he can be home every night. 

I am busy with the girls, teaching Valiant 10-11 girls, helping with Activity Days, teaching workout class and keeping up the house, yard and family functions. I have been ever so grateful lately for the talks from General Conference. It is such a blessing to listen or read talks from God's chosen servants on the earth. It has been a comfort with all that is going on in the world today. Hopefully I can be better about posting more. Have a wonderful Sabbath.
