Happiness

So a few weeks ago Shea and I were planning this big trip to Vancouver to go to his mission and the dedication of the temple there. Well we started feeling guilty about just us going and not taking our kids (like most parents do). Why do we do that?

So we ended up taking our kids to Disneyland. Was it worth it?. . . . .It sure was! I spent 4 wonderful days with my favorite people. It was great time and we made wonderful memories!

The following Saturday we spent the day working outside in our yard and inside doing some spring cleaning. Even though we were working and working hard, we had such a great time and we made wonderful memories!

Monday night, we sat down for FHE, we were reading the scriptures and I got the giggles. We ended up not finishing reading, but then somehow we got serious again and we ended up having a wonderful talk about doing better as a family some of the kids ended sharing some of their feelings about the gospel. We had such a great time and we made some wonderful memories.

Lately I have felt so completely content with my life. I feel so blessed to have the kids I do! I know they are not perfect, but I am not a perfect mom. I am just grateful that I have the life that I do! Having such a great time and making memories that will last forever!
