Being Greatful

I kinda' stole this from someone elses blog, but I just had to.

"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more."-David Steindl-Rast

I find myself feeling really greatful in this time of minimal work or job security in the market. But, it helps you really look at what is important in your life. I am so GREATFUL for an amazing husband and family. No matter what is going on in our lives we always have eachother. I feel so blessed to have my Heavenly Father to look after me also. I know that no matter what I can turn to him.

WOW 5 months later...

Asher has given himself a calling in our new ward...Hall Monitor...I can usually get through the passing of the sacrament, but then it's out in the halls! I think he just misses our old ward and just wants to say Hi to everyone. He is sooo cute I guess he can get away with it.


Kai is becoming such a big helper. He has always been so good, but he is so extremely helpful and he does whatever he is asked quickly and happily. We met with his Education Specialist like we do every 6 weeks. For those that don't know, Kai is enrolled at The Classical Academy and I am his teacher. We meet with his ES every 6 weeks to turn in work and she sees how he's doing, what he's learning... She gave him a great comment this last meeting, she said that he is doing really well and is reading at about middle of first to second grade reading level. YEAH! It is so fulfilling as a parent teaching your children. I think that this has been really good for us. Kai is such a smart boy, and he loves learning. He asks what we are going to learn almost every day.


Now sweet little Skylar. She and Asher are in a Music Together class. It is a music curriculum taught by an amazing lady that LOVES music and the curriculum is studied and developed by Princeton. It is amazing. Skylar knows all of the words to all of the songs. She sings ALL of the time. Lately I have noticed that she is singing primary songs, and she knows all of the words. It is amazing to me to when I think about how she started out here. She has come so far and accomplished so much. We did the March of Dimes walk(March for Babies) on April 19th and she walked almost the whole way! When we crossed the "finish line" I kinda broke down. She is so inspiring.
