My Heart is Full

+ yesterday the sun was shining so gloriously. We noted the signs of spring as we went to school. Blossoms on the trees, birds singing, grass turning green. Today it is cloudy but I know that brings the rain to make our world grow.
+ listening to some of my favorite music. Nathan said all of my music is about love except for a couple of songs. Love makes the world happy!
+ Allan has his first temple trip planned with the Young Men. He is growing up way too fast. I'll always remember him as my little baby.
+ kids have been reading like crazy. New books from the library always call to them.
+ listening to my newest reader. Emily. She loves it!
+ watching my children learn and grow. They overcome, they try, they desire to be better. It's inspiring.
+ helmets and locks in hand. I love watching Nathan and Joshua ride bikes to school. Nathan always looks out for Joshua.
+ Rachel knows most of her colors. She learned pink and purple first. All girl. She still mixes yellow and orange. Toughies. She loves to sort small things - paperclips, waterballons, etc...
+ kids inspired for Football Friday. Laundry piles folded early this morning and chores completed. Now it's my turn to clean the kitchen and cook some delicious goodies for the kids. Probably oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
+ Allan's first football game of the season tomorrow. He LOVES football and comes home so, so happy after every practice.

And I hate posting a blog entry without any pictures but I've been horrible at taking photos. This first picture is from the PTA newsletter. Emily is watching Eddie Coker perform at Cheatham.

This picture is of Rachel after I left her alone in my bathroom for five minutes. That is lipstick all over the counter and soap on the mirror. It was a disaster!
