Catching up

I have a lot to catch up on my blog. I have been doing a lot of research and more research. I have a big upcoming projects. Most importantly, my kids are doing well. They grow up so much. I need to put some of their pictures too. I am so grateful for many things I don't know where to start. I'm grateful for our little family. Those little feet are growing and I'm afraid it won't be long till they are not so little! It's a good start for now.

Dying flowers

I sent my husband and Tanner to costco with some list. Tanner came home with some pretty flowers. I put them in a vase and told Tanner that we might keep them for a week. He started crying when I told him that the flowers would eventually die and we have to throw them away. He doesn't like the idea that they're dying and that we'll have to throw them away. I explained to him that there is no root on these flowers. He asked, "Why?." I told him that the florist cut them off. He insisted to put them in a pot and give them fertilizer. I patiently told him that all we need to do is to preserve them as long as they can last.

Be thankful!

There is so much to be thankful for! I wish that I don't have to be reminded through thanksgiving and have that spirit at all times. But, I am grateful for thanksgiving for that particular feeling!
Time has gone by so quickly and I felt like wasting my time so much on the things that are less important. That's right! I need to get my priority straight! How? That's a good question. Everybody's priority is different. Which is the most important to one is not necessarily is to other. So, how would we short them out? Maybe the real question would be: What would the Lord want me to do today? or am I being consistent in teaching my children the gospel or doing our scripture reading/study?

Elnora's birthday party

I can't believe Elnora turned one year old last week. I haven't down load my pictures yet. Maybe I'll post some picture tomorrow. I'm just so grateful for my family. Life is beautiful and yet I'm still worry. Maybe I'm just a worrier. Sometimes I am afraid whenever the thought came that anything could happen, that this beautiful life of mine could change/disturb by something. I then realized that the adversary is instilling fear in me. I need to increase my faith and look forward for more beautiful things to come, the blessing that we still and will enjoy in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Good Things to Come

I was in the need of some good advice. Life seems to go on without me thinking much of it. Summer is here and I haven't researched on what activities I might like to do for Tanner. We have piano and library so far. I need to sign him up for swimming and soccer or baseball. I went to lds.org and found this message. I have watched it three times and it still makes me cry toward the end.
We need to keep going and look forward for good things to come for we have the Gospel of Jesus Christ. How true that is! I often worry about what kind of future I could give to my children. I got discouraged whenever I thought of the darkness and filthiness of the world. I needed to be aware that this thought of discouragement is from the adversary. Of course Satan wants us to believe that there is no hope. However, we can't live in fear since fear and faith can't go together. Faith in Jesus Christ is the answer and I need to hold on it and believe in all the blessings that come having faith in Jesus Christ.

Good Things to Come

Best advice for today!

I got the best advice for today: "You can have compassion for yourself!" (especially when you are angry and frustrated). So, I told myself: "SELF, I have compassion for you. You are still a good person and making progress working on YOU!."
This advice really make me feel better. Thanks to a good sister and friend who loves me for me, unassuming and not judging! Don't know what I'd do without her. She is truly my real life guardian angel! I could be more like her!

Beautiful people in my life

We went to celebrate Martin's birthday yesterday at Lucille. We had wonderful dinner and dessert. We sang happy birthday to Daddy. We celebrated early because we don't know if Martin will get a day off on his birthday. I went home exhausted. I don't know why. Maybe it's the weekend thing. I am so happy to have a wonderful evening spent with the beautiful people in my life. Of course I forgot my camera!
