Seeing the sun come over the mountains with the light and the silhouette is almost worth getting up early for.  :)

I like how Mason just gets the job done in soccer.  He's not showy or a jerk about it - he is just a solid player.

After many weeks of working on her front handspring on the tramp, Cam landed it.  Cool!

Tender mercies at the Salt Lake temple:
- hearing "Beautiful Savior" in the chapel
- reading Joseph Smith History and being reminded of Mason at that age
- saying hi to Sister Dalton

D + A

Went to a U of U bball game to celebrate D's bday.  We must really like college hoops because we don't really like the U.  :)

I was lucky enough to spend some time with Ry today.  That girl is awesome and I have learned much from her.  Today she showed me how to be kind to those who are a little different. 

I also got to see her indoor soccer game tonite where she played so hard and good and she had lots of fun.  It was cool to see her play. 

Rylie rocks!

There have been some intense Mario Cart duels between K and M. Fun, I know.

Relaxing at the cabin in sweats with a fire going, snuggled in a blanket, while chatting with my 2 best friends is beyond awesome.

When everyone is in our small kitchen it is quite squished, but it's a good squished. There was happy chaos tonite after dinner with no fighting or tears. Sigh. The dishes even got done with no fighting or whining - amazing moment.

I found me some friends in a hiking group. I feel like a kid again making new friends and getting to "play" with them in the mountains.

Just listening to K and M being dorks together in the kitchen while eating an after school snack. Sigh and sniff - it warms my heart.

Mason is just awesome. He takes my mothering in stride. I mean I always say dumb things like, "play hard" and "make sure you hustle" and he just smiles and says "ok mom". I love "ok mom".

 Sadie is the cutest reader. So funny tonite as D was trying to trick her by having her read things upside down. It didn't work - she could still read it.

Cam is the cutest writer.  Whenever she has a minute she finds a notebook and starts writing down stories or things that have happened. 

Here's an example:

Watched Princess Diaries 2 with Kenz tonite.  I love that show.  Mostly I love that Kenz would watch a movie with me.  We laughed at how Brother King looks just like Palo in it.  "A really cute moose.  Make all the boy moose say 'waaaaaaaaa'".  :)
