Bedtime song for the girls is either 1.  "Jesus said love everyone, treat them kindly too, when your heart is filled with love, others will love you." 2.  "I want to be kind to everyone for that is right you see, so I say to myself, remember this, kindness begins with me."  Or 3.  I am like a star shining brightly, shining for the whole world to see, I can do and say happy things each day, for I know Heavenly Father loves me."

Either option is nice and short because by bedtime I am done.  :)

"Joy is a condition of great happiness coming from righteous living.  The purpose of mortal life is for all people to have joy.  A full joy will come only through Jesus Christ."  Sister Whitney Ormsby's farewell talk.

Nice people are my favorite kind of people.

Playing name that song with D on the iPod on the drive home from NY and our song comes on.  Oohhhh.  Kathy Mattea's - Asking Us to Dance.  1993 flashback.

You are never too old to gather sea shells.

Also, whale watching is way fun.  And Boston looks better from the ocean.

I do not like big cities.  Maybe for just a day I might like them, but that's it.

Also, the baseball experience at Fenway Park last night was just so cool!

As I look around at airport people I feel very blessed to have been given a gift of immeasurable value in having the gospel.

I drew some pretty good dot to dots for S today at church.  Pretty good indeed.

Also, Sadie lost her first tooth today.  A tender mercy for me that I was there for it and not in Boston.  The first tooth lost smile is just so cute with the little gap.

The kids and I are a little obsessed with Studio C.  "Lobster bisque."  :)  The facebook skit, Lady Shadow, and the doorstep breakup are hysterical.  I am smiling just thinking about them.

While Sadie does not have my appreciation for hiking, she does appreciate my views and wildflowers.

Met with some BYU softball ladies I have not seen in a very long time.  We hit off live pitching and fielded a little.  Wow it felt good.  Old and slow, but good.  And I had helmet hair for a minute.  I haven't had helmet hair in ages.  Styling helmet hair.  :)

I love hearing the RS sing.  The unity and sisterhood is inspiring to me.  Today the 3rd verse of Count Your Blessings touched my heart.  The verse says, "when you look at others with their wealth and gold, think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.  Count your many blessing money cannot buy, your reward in heaven not your home on high."

Call me Eddie Rabbit, but I love a rainy nite.  Running in the rain with Sadie was blissful.

Chick flicks was a good choice.  They are the best with Kenz.

Watching D and M R get ready for a backpacking adventure with Clayton and Josh.  Part of me wants to go but part of me wants to watch chick flicks.  :)

Things that should never be said but I somehow said, "it's OK to fart, but it is not OK to fart in someone's face."

It was a good hour playing Speed and 2square with M and R.  A very good hour.
