Mikelle- my best helper

Mikelle has been so pleasant to be around. She is so willing to help anyone when they need it. I was digging some weeds and she came and willing helped me. I didn't have to ask and she didn't expect anything for it. Today as I was doing laundry she saw Logan in his diaper and told me that it was too cold for him to be downstairs in just his diaper. I told her that I was getting ready to give him a bath. I heard the water running and I went in the bathroom and she was giving him a bath. She had gathered everything she needed and made sure the water temperature was good. Although it makes me a little nervous for her to give him a bath all by herself I thought that it was cute that she wanted to. I had to warn her that she can't do it all by herself because he's so slippery when getting him out but she did a great job! I love my kids soooo much!

Wow!

I love the pictures that kids take. Mikelle dressed up Daisy and took this picture! I love it!

Mikelle also took this picture of Mia looking at a baby praying Mantis. Mrs. Bingham told her about the Reflections contest this year and the theme was "Wow!" So she took this picture of Mia. Mia loved this little guy so much that she cried when Mikelle left with him.

As I was sitting there thinking of the theme. I was looking at how beautiful Logan is. I love his little face so much. I love how peaceful he looks sleeping and how sweet he is and I just thought, "Wow! I am so lucky." There was a little hispanic girl at the pool swimming that either was going through chemo or has alopecia. I have seen them there before. When I see the things that some people are going through it really makes me appreciate the minor battles that I'm facing. I am truly blessed! There is a saying that says that if everyone were to put their problems in a big pile we would all pull our own out. I'm not so sure about that but I do know that the problems I have had to face have been uniquely my own and with help from my Heavenly Father I know that I can make it through anything. "Wow, I am so Lucky!"

Lagoon

Grandma and Grandpa B recently just got released from their mission. We got together with everyone for a fun trip to Lagoon. We stayed with Jamin and Karen's family. Matt, the kids and I went to Temple square on Friday and watched the Joseph Smith movie and also walked around and went to the visitor's center. Later that evening everyone met at Jamin & Karen's for a BBQ. The highlight of the BBQ was Lincoln in his Captain Underwear costume! On Saturday we met everyone at Lagoon. We ended up splitting up into groups and doing different rides, but did get together for lunch. The girls really liked the new ride "Wicked", "Odysea", and the "Jet Star." I also have to applaud Draven for overcoming his fear of the "Colossus" and riding it. Good Job! We really liked that they let us do a baby-pass-off. That way we were all able to go on the rides and we waited the same amount of time. Logan was really good but it was really hot for him. He mostly only fussed in his car seat that he really really HATES! We had so much fun but are really exhausted from our trip.
