Every second Thursday we take the day off of school and do some deep cleaning. The kids are so great to help out. They scrub and organize and sing along the way. Today they are scrubbing the kitchen and playing that they are opening a restaurant this evening. They are planning on serving homemade pizza! Yum! I'm glad they have each other and get along so well together.
Jessica and I are eating raw vegan for six months. Well, about 90% raw vegan. It's fun, but there are times it's really difficult. I need to lose about 20 pounds and get buff. I know I can do it, but it's hard to push myself out of my comfort zone. I need to push harder in my workouts and in my eating habits. It's okay to be a bit hungry. It's okay to breath really hard. It's okay to do something besides eating to relax. It's difficult, but I can do it! I am doing it! So much depends on me keeping myself healthy, attractive, and strong! I'm grateful Heavenly Father has blessed me with an amazing body to care for.

Priceless Motherhood
Lately, Heavenly Father has been reminding me how important and wonderful motherhood is. I'm grateful I can read talks from the prophets that tell me how Heavenly Father feels about motherhood. There is nothing more important that I could be doing. I can do it marvelously well because He will help me. This is where I need to be. This is where I can do the most good. This is where I love to be.
These precious little ones are amazing. I wish we could have cameras all over the house documenting all the cute things they say, all the sweet moments, and even the rotten moments. I sometimes get frustrated with my tiny, dull journal entries. I just don't have time to catch it all or project it well. However, a bit of my feelings or events are better than none. But in a way it almost mocks all the amazing, dear moments because it is so sparse and random. Oh, well! Hopefully, the angels assigned to our family are getting some great videos and editing them perfectly. I'm grateful Heavenly Father does send angels to record "the good and bad [we] say." I hope we can say and do more good, cause more rejoicing in Heaven, and maybe more laughing.

Foreordained
I was foreordained before I came to earth to be a mother of many sweet children and the beautiful wife of my dear husband. I'm grateful I've been reminded of this. It is not too hard. I can do this job beautifully for I was designed, tutored, mentored, and trained for ages to do this job gloriously.
The constancy of motherhood enables our true selves to be exposed and molded most rapidly. I'm grateful I have one opportunity on top of another to mold patience, love, kindness, and gentleness into the deep fibers of my soul. Heavenly Father has placed me in a perfect workshop for building character. And as I form my character I also form the generations to come. I'm grateful for this trust. I'm so grateful for the aid and comfort He gives me along the way.
