Life...

Forest Grove has been absoultely goregous... it's been like 70 degrees and perfect. The kids and I decided it would be fun to find a new park to play out and what we found was so much better. A duck lake that was out of this world beautiful. Belle fell in love with the ducks. She would throw the bread in and she would scream and laugh her head off, she thought it was hialrious to throw her luch in as well.... I didn't!! Cash would squeal and you could tell he couldn't quite get his excitment out of his body.... he look like it was going to explode right out of him. We sat down and I taught Belle how to really smell. It smelt like pumpkin or some kind of spice. Belle kept breathing deep and saying it smelt delicious! Cash ate leaves and threw up everywhere! But that didn't ruin anything he thought it was funny! Then we had Family home evening that night about being thankful. We watched how Christ healed people... Belle was entranced! She did not want to stop watching, she cried most the rest of the night. But she finally ended up being happy after she finished her turkey thankful hand.

I have been thinking a lot about life and about family and I have realised how amazing life is trials and all. Times like today make me really think of the BIG PICTURE. Life is really so short we don't have time to waste it. I am not perfect at it by any means but when I fill my days with time for other people and my family it makes me soo incredibly happy. I am so grateful for times when I fiqure this out. I have a brother n law whose mother is not doing to well. She has been sick for a long time. I can't help but feel so sad for their family and I just keep wondering how I could help but as usually my brother n law helped me.... He sees the BIG PICTURE he has shown and lives his life in a way that no matter what happens it's ok and the Lord knows what he is doing. He knows that miracles can happen but he also knows that if something were to happen that he will see her again. I admire him so much! What a crazy hard thing to go through but what incredible faith he has. I hope that through my own life I can develope that kind of faith.
