Words to live by.

The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have now, and the more grateful you are right now, the more you will get.

What makes a bad night good?

When life comes at you full speed and seems so overwhelming, what do you do?

You make Rootbeer floats for the kids and sit back and enjoy the scene.

I am trying my hardest to see all the good that's out there when all I want to do is stay in bed and cry. Thanks to my sweet friend Amber for hangin with us tonight and playing Phase 10 (even though she sucked), eatting my leftovers and just being there.

Tomorrow. Another day.

My grateful for Wednesday.

Found this hysterical.

Tuesdays grateful.

I took the boys to Las Vegas this past weekend for a quick 2 day trip and because Chris couldn't go, I had to do all the driving. On the drive home, the boys were asleep and I was wishing I was too. I definitely needed a pick me up. As I was looking for something to listen to, I came across this. A couple of years ago I went to the mail box and this was in it. Farah had made me a CD. It has 18 songs on it that whenever she heard them, she thought of me. I put the CD in and enjoyed the whole thing. I found myself smiling throughout every song. It was during one of the songs that I had an "A-ha" moment. I have such a hard time recognizing amazing moments and this was one of them. So after I finished listening to the whole thing, I took a picture of the CD so I could share my grateful. Farah made me this out the love for me. For no other reason she did a random act of kindness for her older sister. One that in the past I have enjoyed, (how could you not love some good music) but did not truly appreciate. In the last few days, I have been very aware of the fact that I struggle with realizing all of the amazing moments that I have.
This was definitely one of them.

I love you Fuzz.

Sisters.

These are my sisters. They mean the world to me and I cannot imagine my life without them.

In and Out.

Chris and I have a great love for In and Out. We normally only get this treat when we go to Vegas to visit the fam but not anymore. Good ole SLC has finally gone big time. There have been 3 In and Outs opened in the last month and we took our boys there today for the first time. Usually they get McDonalds or some other form of fast food while we bask in the joys of fresh burgers and fries but we introduced them to the deliciousness that we hold near and dear and thank goodness they too, LOVED the whole experience. I guess we will keep them around a while.

Brothers.

As much arguing and fighting that these 2 brothers do, they always come back to each other. Built in best friends...I love it.
