Happy Birthday to Me!

So, today I am 34! I enjoy getting older! I feel more at ease with myself the older I get. I don't worry so much about what others are thinking... which used to get in the way of trying new things and enjoying life in general!

I love being married. Robbie is a good husband. He has good values and works hard to take care of our family. We have good conversations and enjoy each others company.

I love being a mom. Makenzie is growing so fast. She will be 8 in just over 4 months! She is really in tune with her spiritual side. Abby is 5 and has such a love for life and learning! She is a wanderer/daydreamer... although that scares me at times, it also develops a great imagination and peace in her. Will is such a cute little boy. He is learning new words everyday. He says shoes, trash, mmmmmom, dada (which he growls) owsi (outside). He says owwwwwch, I o know (I don't know) and his new favorite is no-no. He has other words too, but I can't recall them right now :-)

I am grateful to have the gospel in my life for many reasons. Not only does it keep me on the right path, but helps me to find wonderful friends and brings me peace in this hectic world! I thank my Father in Heaven for another year of learning on this beautiful planet! I am so glad that my parents raised me in the gospel!

I love my brothers and sisters (including inlaws of course!) and their sweet little kiddos! So many wonderful people creating a great quilt of life, so thank you friends and family!!!
