Good things

So, I really couldn't be happier. Really. Things are going really well { Touch wood ;) } with all of us up here. We have been blessed so many ways in ways in which we didn't expect. I am thrilled beyond belief that my thyroid is now working and my energy level is amazing. That whole scenario could have gone the other way, and it wouldn't have been good. I feel happy, I am LOVING my kids, and I love being a mom. I feel blessed to be able to stay at home with them and laugh with Sophie all day and watch Gunner with awe. I feel blessed to have a healthy body that has allowed me to fulfill my wish of having children. I have a hard working, funny and an amazingly calm and level-headed husband. We couldn't be a better match. Amazing considering the speed with which we dated and married.

Last night, I was putting Sophie to bed and I had another fun prayer experience with her. She says them first, then I say one. If I interrupt her to help her remember something, she tells me to shoosh and starts over. Then forgets that thing I reminded her of. Maybe she left it out on purpose. So, after her prayer last night, I was praying. She usually mumbles while I pray so I wasn't listening to close, until I mentioned a friend Stacy. Sophie immediately stopped mumbling and said, "and bless Kayla and Janie (Stacy's kids--the first being one of my Laurels)" It was so sweet, and reminded me that she is listening and watching. I was so glad it was me who could share that with her. Her prayers are pretty similar, but I wanted to record it so I wouldn't forget.

It usually goes something like this- Dear Heabenly Father, tank you this day, tank you food, tank you Gaga and Papa and Gwama and Homepopo, please bless daddy and Gunner (this is where I remind her to bless mom and she shooshes me, starts over and still doesn't bless me), tank you church and prophet, Jesus Chwist, Amen. Those are the standards, but of course others are added. What a little sponge. What an honor and what a huge responsibility.

Anyway on to some trivial stuff :)
