This has been the true week of never-ending laundry. I have been sick and unable to do my Monday laundry fest. I get about one load done everyday. My sister-in-law Lindsay recently posted a song that she sings during her laundry day. It is sung to the tune of The Never Ending Story. I have included her verse, and made up one of my own. Sing along with me.
"Turn around! Look at what you see-ee-ee!"
"More Laundry! A never ending sea!"
"Socks and shirts and underwear, waiting there for me!"
"Heaps and piles of clothing,"
"KIDS-the answer to our Never Ending Laundry!"
"Look around! As far as you can see-ee-ee!"
"Dirty clothes! They're clear up to my knee-ee-ee!"
"Dirt and grease and ketchup stains, and buggers on the sleeves!"
"Can't believe it's been a week"
"It looks more like three-- Never Ending Laundry!"
I hope you enjoy this song as much as I have this week especially! Thanks to Linds for the inspiration!
I'm thankful for things to laugh at when we're sick!

SPRING!
I am thankful for spring. It seems like spring peeks her face out just when you think winter will never end.
Don't you just love spring? I do. I love to see the new growth. Even if it is weeds.
I have my geraniums blooming in Andee's room and my kitchen window sill. I've started some mini petunias and they are growing in Andee's room too! I feel like such a gardener when things grow for me!
In February my violas that survived the winter started to bloom. Now my daffodils are up and opening. My crocus are too. Next the tulips will open and the pansies will bloom too. YIPPEE!
Spring also reminds me of the promise of the Resurrection. In Primary on Sunday I shared this with the children too. I told them that when we place the bulbs in the ground in the fall it is like when the Savior was placed into the tomb. We have to trust and have faith that the bulb will come forth in the spring just as the apostles and disciples of Christ had to have faith that He would rise from the dead as He had promised.
The thrill that runs through my veins when I see the first bulbs poking through the soil and those first blooms is wonderful. I am also thankful to my Savior for the promise that the resurrection holds for me. Because of His suffering in Gethsemane I can be forgiven of my sins, if I repent, and because of His resurrection I also have the promise of my body and spirit being reunited with my body. Of course, the separation has not yet happened, but as part of Heavenly Father's plan, we all must taste of death. What a precious gift His has made possible.

I'm thankful for...
Aubrie!
What a sweet girl. She has been getting up early to get herself ready and then make me breakfast in bed. Who taught her to be so thoughtful? Not her mom who seems to snooze the morning away and only get up in time to make lunches, fix cold cereal, fix hair, and jet the girls to school after family prayer.
Aubrie has been playing basketball for the past few weeks and enjoying it. Last night at the local School Board meeting she presented something for her teachers with a few other class members. She did such a great job.
Aubrie always helps me get things done. She helps cook, clean and take care of the kids when I need an extra set of hands. I expect a lot of her and she always does her best to please me. She loves making people laugh and tries to think of ways for me to 'sneak' a kiss from Matt.
BIG thanks and love to Aubrie.
p.s. These photos were taken prior to her Locks of Love submission.

Thankful for...
Today I'm thankful for healthy bodies.
It has been a while since my last post. I have been busy with family, Primary and so many other things. I've had sick kids and nothing makes you realize how nice it is to be healthy than having sick kids for a while. It seems like Jesse has had one cold after another for the past month and a half. Matt and I have both been sick with terrible head colds. Andee got it last week and has been miserable. At least most of us are old enough to take decongestants. The poor girl has had to suffer thru the pain without anything but a humidifier, bulb syringe, and tons of tissues.I am getting better at getting up in the morning. Although today there was no school again for parent teacher conferences, and so I took it easy, OK more than easy (I got out of the shower today at 1pm). Can anyone say LAZY! But I did exercise. I have lost three inches off of my waist in the last week. They found me without my permission and I have been working hard the last two weeks to remove them and several of their friends.
Love to all.

Hello Again - It's a New Year
What a great Holiday season. We have such great families. We enjoyed spending time with the Stevens family and missed the Strouds! We went on Hikes, sledding, to grandma and grandpa's house several times, bowling, to the Marie Osmond Christmas concert, ate too much, slept too much, and had lots of fun together!
The kids are back to school today! The new Primary year is under way. It is snowing today. The kids were so excited. Aubrie commented "If only it snowed like this on Christmas eve".
This year I'd like to use this blog to tell you about the things that I am thankful for.
Today I'm thankful for my husband - that he hasn't watched every football and basketball game, that he holds the Priesthood, that he loves me - despite my faults, that he makes me want to be a better person, that he is gentle with our kids, that he listens to me, that he shovels the walks for me and the older people he Home teaches, he thanks me for the things I do, that he includes the kids in everything he does, that he rarely rolls his eyes at my new hair-brained ideas, that he helps clean my house and fold laundry when he sees the need, that he got me a new bedroom set - including a headboard that he didn't like or want, he serves others, he lets me choose, he loves Heavenly Father and Jesus, he remembers family prayer and scripture study, he reads books by the Prophet and general authorities, he remembers what the books say when he's done. I'm sure I could go on forever, but the laundry awaits.
