I love knowing that we are living our lives as great examples to our children. Last night at dinner when Bryan asked who's turn it was to say the prayer, the boys all chimed in "ME!" Even Tommy raised his and and said "me".
I love my boys, for being such wonderful examples to me and those around them.

Life is Good!

As we get closer to the end of the school year, we get more excited for the summer to appear. We have been busy playing and baking in the hot sun. Luckly we are saved by the great pool and able to cool off whenever we want. Its so simple to forget all the blessings the Lord has given us when we live such a wonderful life and have such a great family. I am so lucky to have the greatest man and boys in my life. Sometimes I forget to tell them just how much I love them.
Joseph is busy this week with his STAR testing and enjoying doing each test. He is very busy with his swimming now that he can no longer get out on the slopes. But thats not to say each day he doesn't miss being in the snow! He has already had busy hot days with friends over at every chance he can. He is currently writing his first dinosaur report in school, and finishing up his first Fairy Tale Book. I cannnot wait to read them both. We have put music lessons on hold for now, since he is so involved in his outdoor activities.
Nathan is going to be 4 in just a few weeks, and he is counting down the days. He is almost done with his first year of school. And what a star student he is. His teachers adore him so much and are so impressed with him that they have requested pictures of him snowboarding and skateboard to post on the bulleten board for everyone to see. He will begin a new year of school in a private by invite only session. He has become quite the fish this year. Once he gets that jacket on he is running and jumping into the pool or going down the water slide. Its amazing what a change a year makes, and how much he has grown in just a year. Since his skateboard has gone missing he is working on his flips and has mastered a full front filp sticking his land on his feet. I doubt there is anything this kid can't do.
Tommy, well he is still the baby-when he wants to be. He has really taken a love for the water. Sunday we spent the whole day in the pool. Tommy not leaving Bryan's side. He wanted nothing to do with anyone but dad, and dad was unable to play with the other boys. He went down the slide BY HIMSELF twice and then Joseph took him down a few times. I would say they both loved it. Tommy loves playing ball, swinging and now swimming. He is already a big flirt and has several of the little girls in nursery following him around.
As for Bryan and I, we are about to celebrate 10 years of marriage! This is so exciting. Not only have we been blessed with a great marriage, but with three wonderful healthy boys, and a new baby on the way. Which we think is going to be a girl, but won't make a commitment yet. We will be having this baby in the comfort of our own home with the assistance of a Midwife or two. This is an experice we are looking forward too. We are trying to do some fun family activities this summer, like some camping and family trips. Bryan keeps very busy with his job, which we are very thankful that he has-especially after that last scare.
Its amazing the great blessings we have in our lives and the strength we bring to each other. I learn so much each day from each one of my boys. And I am able to grow so much from the strength that they have at such young ages. I enjoy teaching them the gospel and watching them learn and seeing their knowledge of the right choices, which is especially important these days. I love my life, my family, and Heavenly Father. I am so greatful for Bryan's choice to be baptised and the gift we have been given of an eternal family
