Snow!!

Can you believe it snowed the second week of April? I think it was about 7inches. It looks very pretty and the little kids and I went for a walk in it today. Autumn and Marah sure had a great time playing in it. They were both soaked by the time we got back. Marah is a true Alaskan- she didn't even wear a coat- just a hat, gloves, and clothes of course. Ryker is enjoying his lifeguarding class. He has decided to homeschool and possibly take a couple of classes at Bartlett next year. I'm fairly certain he can get caught up with his classes and the best thing is that all his classes can be taken online so he can do them at 2am and I don't have to correct anything!! Hayden was asked to give a talk at church- poor kid. He said yes and is now having big time panic. I told him it is up to him what he wants to do. My guess is he will be calling the bishop tonight and tell him he can't do it. My poor little Jack has a horrible diaper rash for no apparent reason. We are loading him up with desitin. He already hates to get his diaper changed so this is just making things worse. We had a great young women activity last night. An Amazing Race of sorts and the best thing was how much the girls enjoyed it. I'm feeling very blessed in my life these days- I'm trying to enjoy the moment because it can always change in an instant. Oh, and for my sister I had a dream you are pregnant. What do you think?

Prioritizing

I think as moms it is so hard to prioritize sometimes. We want to hang out with friends and have fun but the little people at home and husbands are needing us. A very good friend reminded me today why making our children and husbands top priority is so important and I'm very thankful for the reminder. As I type Ryker is vacuuming and Jack is following him all around- very cute to see. We had standardized testing this week and I'm so thankful for a husband who will take the time to drive our children and others all the way across town for this great event! The girls are out with grandma today on their Friday adventures and Hayden is recovering from having a busy week. Ryker signed up for a life guarding class- hooray!! We had many big changes at church over the last week and I am so thankful that I have felt the inspiration behind those changes. It took me longer than I would have liked but I'm happy to say I've felt the spirit in priesthood revelation and it feels wonderful. I really do have a life full of abundance and I'm one lucky girl!!
