Hooray for the last day of school! I am so grateful another year has finished in school, that the kids did well and are happy, and that we have the whole summer to be together!!! Hooray for summer break!

Day 151 - May 30

I am grateful for super kind, forgiving, loving moms of the girls I teach dance to. I was late to class because I got to the studio and my iPad was not in my bag. I had no music for the show! I had to go home. Then I had to leave early to get to the elementary school for the awards assembly. One mom, pulled me aside before tap class and said go now. We are fine in tap. It was only her daughter there for the class and she is not performing in the show! How awesome is that. I got to be there and see my kids and not be stressed that I was going to be late and miss it. I am so grateful to her and to the mom that subbed my last class for me. I am surrounded by wonderful people!

Day 131 - May 10

I am grateful for Alli. We have been talking a lot about working hard. I watched her at dance yesterday and instead of being one of the biggest goof-offs, she was the harder worker, even throu a hurt toe. After so long of seeing her not try things, and give up whenever something got tuff, I loved seeing her work through pain in an extra hard class.

Day 130 - May 9

I am grateful for new games on the trampoline, being able to play with my kids and just enjoy the blessings God has given me.

Day 129 - May 8

I am grateful for Fuzzy's random act of kindness. I wasn't feeling so well and fell asleep on the couch after I finished folding laundry, I haven't felt great this week. I barely woke up to her gently laying a blanket over me. Very kind and thoughtful move fuzzy!

I am grateful for people that step into help even when it is not convenient for them.

Day 122 - May 1

I can't believe I got so many days behind again!!!  Anyway, I am so grateful for my Fuzzy girl today.  Sometimes I feel she gets lost in the shuffle of the oldest loud one, the boy and the youngest loud one!  SHe is typically my even tempered, doesn't let things get to her kid and I SOOOOO appreciate a kid like her in our family.  I love my Fuzzy dearly!  I love how much she loves children, I love how much she loves to serve, I love how much she loves to laugh.  I just love this girl and am so grateful my Heavenly Father sent her to me!
