MOMMY DAUGHTER NIGHT

so maliah and i went on a mommy daughter night and this is what we did!!! she was so excited!!! BEFORE
AFTER

could you guess what we did?? if not........... she got her ears pierced!!!she had them done when she was a baby but she ripped them out. so i decided after that , when she asked and i thought she was old enough to understand she had to leave them in, we would attempt it again. she was so good. she didnt even cry or flinch or anything. i was a little nervous because right before her turn there was a baby getting her ears pierced and she just cried and cried. but she went through with it and was tickled pink after the fact!!

thoughts, ramblings , feelings

i just wanted to write my thoughts down real quick! i wanna say how grateful i sm to know that we have a plan. im so grateful for a beautiful family.i know that the church of jesus christ is the true church i know that my savior lives and that we will meet again. i know that we have a living prophet on this earth that knows and talks with god.im so grateful that i was able to be sealed to my family almost 8 years ago. i know i will always be with them forever and ever and ever. there is not a day that goes by that i don't feel the love of my savior , and without that feeling i would be lost. i know that i can turn to him and my father in heaven in prayer and be guided for things i am struggling in. right know in my life i am struggling and it is making it so much easier to deal with knowing that i have the love and support of my father in heaven.
I'm so grateful for my husband. i really don't think he knows how much i truly love and adore him. he does so much for our family. he is a hard worker and he loves me and our four beautiful children so much.
so much has gone on in our lives in the past 11 years. i am not the same person i was 11 years ago... i am better, stronger more spiritual... i have a testimony!
11 years ago i had no clue i would be a mother to 4 wonderful children, who love the gospel and love me unconditionally.yesterday we had conferences with the kids teachers, we went to daniels and his teacher gave me his essay, he was to write about his hero.. guess who his hero is??? ME!!!! I am so honored to be this 10 year olds hero.. i guess im doing something right.. for those of you who don't know, daniel is not my child by blood, but for eternity he is mine. he was sealed to me and for that i am so grateful. he is an amazing son. i am honored to call hm my son. i love him so much.

so its been a little over a month since I've posted. i guess i really don't know what to blog about. I'm not having a baby, or getting married or whatever anyone else is blogging about lol. i have been very busy lately. i teach the bear den in scouts in my ward and that besides being a mom to 4 wonderful and active kids is keeping me very busy.last month we had pack night . it was so much fun. we did a fiesta theme. we even made yes i said made.. pinatas. we had so much fun doing it. yes it was messy but very fun watching the boys. it was even better when they got to bust them open at the pack meeting. lol we had a really yummy dinner that a gal in our ward made. we had a father and son cake bake.. it was neat to see all the different cakes.. daniel and Aaron made a basketball.. but id have to say my favorite was one of my den boys.. it was a turtle .. oh how i love turtles. speaking of turtles my parents went on their 3rd trip to Hawaii last month and they brought me back this beautiful necklace of a turtle and it had a little baby turtle on the back , just like on nemo. lol i love it!! the kids have been very busy with school as well. we are trying to keep grades up. i actually took them out of school last friday as kind of a treat for doing so well in school.. we went to the zoo. it was so much fun. i love watching them just be free and happy and not have to worry about work and school. they are so fun to watch . they are growing so fast. i cant believe my baby sammy will be 5 this year. it just blows my mind.aaron is doing good. just keeping busy with work and trying to study for his life licence test. man i totally know how that feels.. we are trying to plan several mini trips this year. we have 3 vouchers for trips so we are going to try and take them all this year. and take a trip with the kids to Disneyland!! ya i cant wait for Disneyland. my sister amy and her family are coming down this weekend, from Utah. i haven't seen her since last may. we are so excited to see them. we are going to the ren fest on saturday and just hanging out with them.i have also been helping my friend erica the last month. she had a Major surgery and well with 3 small kids its a little hard to do all when you've been put down. so Ive bee like the nanny . its been so much fun to play with baby logan. he is such a sweet little guy. it totally drained me but i felt so good that i could do that service to my friend when she really needed it and had no one else to really help her. well hopefully it wont take me a month to get back on here to blog.hope everyone is doing well
