June 17, 2012 - Cinnamon Roll

Today my favorite moment was when Henry was saying his prayers before bed and he said, "I'm thankful I could eat a cinnamon roll tomorrow."

Devin had made the dough but it wouldn't be ready to bake until after the boys went to bed so we told them they could have one tomorrow.

November 23, 2011 - Jaxon

Today my favorite moment happened when we were in the car on our way to Target.  As we pulled in the shopping center Jaxon asked why there were giant candy canes in the parking lot.  I told him, "Because it's almost Christmas."  He said, "But it's almost Thanksgiving."  I was so glad he realized that we need to celebrate Thanksgiving!  I agree that society skips Thanksgiving and we need to remember to be thankful!

September 2, 2011 - Friday Night

Today my favorite moment was just the whole evening.  Devin didn't get to see the boys at all yesterday so it was especially special to spend the evening together tonight.  It is amazing how different the spirit is in our home when we can be together as a family as oppose to when Devin is gone.  The greatest blessing is to be able to be a family forever.  I am so amazingly blessed.

May 29, 2011 - Hill on Walk

Today my favorite moment happened when we were on a walk.  I was pushing Jaxon and Ollie in the double stroller and Devin was pushing Henry in the single.  Devin and I had discussed how my stroller weighed like twice as much as Devin's and how out of shape I was because I was tired after about 2 miles of walking.  We were just about done when we saw a hill that might offer a shortcut for the next time we went out.  My initial reaction was, "I don't want to go up there with this stroller!"  But then I told Devin, "What am I turning into?  I feel so lazy!"  So, we raced up the hill and down the other side, then up and back down.  The weather was beautiful, my family is wonderful, and my body is amazing and healthy.  Everything felt so perfect.
