It brings me a lot of joy to hear my kids laughing together.

Mason's favorite afternoon snack is a burrito.  For some reason that makes me smile.  I Instagrammed a pic of him eating one with the caption "a burrito a day keeps the girls away."  :)  (Is Instagrammed a word?)

Snapchat from Kenz this morning of toilet paper in the HS bathroom made my day.  "Real toilet paper at school - best day ever."  :)  Then she posted this quote on Instagram:

"All of us can become discouraged. It is important to know, when you feel down, that many others do also and their circumstances are often much worse than ours. And it is important to know that when one of us is down, it becomes the obligation of his friends to give him a lift."  President Hinckley.

Thanks for the lifts today Kenz.

I sure like Primary music.  Primary kids singing Primary music is even better.  I haven't been in Primary for awhile but was today and when the kids sang "If the Savior Stood Beside Me" I may have teared up a little.

Stumbled upon "The Big Year" in the motel in Meridian, Idaho while chaperoning Kenz's XC trip.  I love this movie.

I love Molly Lou Melon.  Those books are by far my favorite books.  Like total favorite.

Just heard Taylor Swift's "Stay" and couldn't help but think of Ry and Cam's dance moves they made up to that song.  :)  There are a lot of songs that have dances made up to them around here.

"When men speak evil of thee, live so that nobody may believe them."  Plato.

Odd that it was the oldest 4 of the house enjoying Disney Channel tonite.  D, me, Kenz, and Mase watching "Good Luck Charlie" on a Sunday nite with the others in bed.  I love that show.

Pretty funny that it is Kenz that laughs the most during scripture reading when someone reads "dung heap".  :)

"Are these perilous times?  They are.  But there is no need to fear.  We can have peace in our hearts and peace in our home."  President Hinckley.

Went to lunch with D.  I am so lucky to have him.  After talking to him my worries aren't so worrisome.  Love that guy.

The mountains look especially beautiful to me today.  And I think I hear them calling my name.

I think it is so cute and funny when Cam calls people sweetie - especially when she calls K and M that.  She used to call people honeymoon, but now it is mostly sweetie.

Not every part of Sunday after church was great, but 2 moments were. 

1.  The kids and I gathered around the kitchen talking and being together and engaged in actual conversation.
2.  Sundey evening outside chatting and enjoying neighbors.

Kenzie's bedtime stories are awesome.  They are about 30 seconds long and extremely random and the girls love them.

"I come this morning with a plea that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight."
"Cultivate the art of complimenting, of strengthening, of encouraging."

Some days I just need to hear a little President Hinckley.

I do not like grasshoppers.  At all.

Mason got quote of the day thanks to us watching Warm Bodies this weekend.  Mason said to Kenz, "at least she didn't eat your boyfriend." Ha ha.

Kenz has my love of quotes.  Mase mentioned he gets to give a talk and Kenz says, "I have a quote for that."
