...Those Who Matter Don't Mind

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”Dr. Seuss

Be of Good Cheer - President Thomas S. Monson

"None of us makes it through this life without problems and challenges—and sometimes tragedies and misfortunes. After all, in large part we are here to learn and grow from such events in our lives. We know that there are times when we will suffer, when we will grieve, and when we will be saddened. However, we are told,“Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." President Thomas S. Monson - April, 2009

Summer is:

Lazy mornings

Long days
Smell of fresh cut grass
Snow cone brain freeze
Playing at the park
Sunkissed cheeks
Corn on the cob
Bare feet
Roasting marshmallows
Homemade ice cream
Hiking
Eating outside
Driving with the windows down
Kids leaving the doors open while the AC is on
Ice cold lemonade
Watermelon
Bike rides
Lake swimming

Little Miracles

We have to take the time to see the little miracles all around us. We can get so busy and we forget to just breath and smile. We are truly blessed.

We have witnessed the power of prayer, and the miracles that still happen today. God is aware of each of us. Even is we do not always understand the reasons why things happen, we need to trust in Him.

CKU - An end of an Era

I went to the last CKU this week, I also went to the first (and others in between) it is sad it see it end. But I do agree that it needs an overhaul. The were so many there for their first time, so I know the need and want is still there.

I had a great time being a Teacher's Assistant at CKU again this year. There are so many amazing, creative, talented, good people in the world. :-)

I worked with Debby Schuh with her Inspiration Station project. Using October Afternoon paper. October Afternoon. (I LOVE this paper line)

On Fri I helped with the project "The Wild Things: by Imaginisce , great woman to work with and a really fun line of paper, stamps, ribbons, stickers etc. imaginisce

So many great ideas, but the biggest thing is that people are recording their history in pictures and words. What a blessing for those who come after us to have such wonderful records that are fun and beautiful.

So little, so much work!

Lindsay was crying in pain, she was complaining of a toothache. We could not calm her down, I know that pain all too well. A call went in to the Dentist early that Monday morning, she was seen, but very scared. The results, she would need two root canals and to be put under.

It came as no surprise that she would have a problem with these two teeth. Mine has been removed and so has Mom's. So there seems to be a problem with them. But it was when see was under they found three move cavities. Okay Lindsay, less treats and better brushing. That was a lot of work for someone so little, but she seems to be doing fine.

She looks so little

This is the best part of going to the Dentist.
