Off to the Park

The little kids and I are about to walk to Willow Park and play for a bit. It's so nice to have so many parks.

Jessica is taking Chinese now. We try to learn a bit along with her. It's fun! I hope we get plenty of opportunities to use it in our lives.

Benjamin and Jaremy have a scout camp out tonight. Moroni and Jessica are bringing home friends after school.

I hope I can get the house clean, shower, and sneak away to the temple sometime this evening.
And it would be nice to get the shopping done and my visiting teaching. I also need to make all the meals for today through Sunday. Dream on!

Tomorrow we need to jog 9 miles! Wow! That takes tons of time and we can't really do it as a family with the little kids so we have to break it up and it takes all day. Oh, well! I'll get up early and get a good start on the day.

I'm grateful for all these fun, great things to do. I'm grateful Heavenly Father has blessed me with health and strength to do them.

Free Weekend

I never thought I would enjoy footzoning as much as I do. It's relaxing to listen to soothing music and massage to the rhythm. Of course, it helps the person who is getting zoned. The smells of the coconut oil and essential oils are nice. It's a great way to unwind. I especially like footzoning my family. It's a great way to bond.
This evening Benjamin and Jaremy are going snow caving. Good luck to them! I will think of them when I soak in a hot bath and sleep soundly in my soft, warm bed. Benjamin is excited! Jaremy has gone before and knows it can be miserable. He's such a good sport, never complaining. I hope they stay warm and sleep well.
We were going to head off to Moab this three day weekend, but Uncle Bill changed our plans. We will be going to his funeral instead. Besides, it looks like it will be raining in Moab anyway. It's kind of nice to have the weekend to catch up and breathe a bit. I want to visit Grandma Butler and some widows. I want to walk across the street to the temple and attend a session. I want to bring order to the garage and pantry. I want to watch a movie and eat popcorn. I want to go to bed early. I want to help the kids get caught up on homework. If I can get those few things done anything else will be icing on the cake. If I get to work on compiling my "Mothers in Zion" book or curl up on the couch with a book that would really be something!
Right now I need to go pick up the kids from school and meander over to the park to get some fresh air, sunshine, and exercise. It's another gorgeous day!! Heavenly Father has created the most beautiful, fascinating world! I'm so grateful I can live and enjoy each day!
