Woops...

Look see....here it is - only Blog # 2 and already I've forgotten the one thing I wanted to include in every blog. My Thankful-fors. So, here they are - for the last blog....

1. Oldest son gave a GREAT talk at a fireside last night!

2. Fiber-one bars. They aren't too bad....for something with so much fiber :)

3. The best Chinese-new-year dragon parade today by the 2nd graders.

Girly Girl

How many basketball games have we been to? Well, in just our daughters life time....probably more than a hundred. No kidding. Between both boys Jr. Jazz games, some occasional church ball, and all the Utah Jazz games we watch (she, not so willingly watching) - I'd say we have seen quite a bit of basketball, and should have a pretty good handle on the game.

So, Saturday, we're at the oldest sons' Basketball game when the White team calls for a time-out. She looks at me and says "Where's the hard chairs?"

I look at her completely puzzled.
It takes me a minute.
Then I get it.
Time-out. Hard kitchen chair.
She's wondering why the coach is putting them in time-out.....what did they do?

Our efforts to have a well-rounded girl have been fruitless. She's a girly girl through and through.

It starts......

Alright.....I know it's about time I start this thing up. So....here we go! It's officially 3:30 am, and suffering from a very stuffy head and clogged up ears - sleep is eluding me. So, after checking my normal web-sites - i.e.; Ksl.com, the bank, & my eighth graders grades, a thought occurred to me. Hey! Why not blog! It may not be anything profound....considering that it's 3:30 in the morning. But it would be a post none the less.

Actually, I'm not quite sure what to do or where to go with this blog. It may just be random tidbits from our home and my head. Nothing profound, mind you. Or witty. Sometimes maybe even boring. Hope that's okay.

I also hope it's alright to copy a little bit. For a long time the idea of jotting down things we're grateful for has hung in the back of my head. I think I heard about a gratitude journal first from Oprah (one of the four times I've ever watched the show). That was probably 10 years ago. It's been mentioned in conference many times over. We have been incredibly blessed, and sometimes I forget that and dwell on the 'don't haves' of my life. So (here's the copying part....thanks Maren!) I'll try to jot down 3 things each post I'm thankful for. More for me than anyone else.

So, here it goes.....my three for today - then I'm signing off.

1. Sinus medicine (10 more minutes and it should be kicking in!)
2. Good kids who missed us while we were gone.
3. The sunshine in the Carribean (I'll blog more about that later) :)
