Lately I feel like giving up. I'm tired of everything. I know I've had a bad attitude--it's mostly because I get sick of trials. God gives me trials to grow, but a lot of times they're so hard for me that I get stubborn and stop trusting in Him. The kids seem to be fighting more than ever these days. I've found myself short tempered because of it. I've been too busy, and am learning to say no...anyway. It's to the point where I don't even want to talk about it.
As of yesterday, I'm trying to read my scriptures (yet again) and sincerely pray for strength. I seem to always fall in this rut where I think I can do things myself, but then end up failing miserably after trying. If I just let Him, God helps me more than I ever could on my own.
That's why this blog's been neglected. Let's liven things up a bit!
Kyle and Aaron (BYU-I friends) stayed at our place last weekend while they auditioned at CCM. It was Kyle's birthday that weekend so we had to celebrate!
Doug's aunt and uncle stopped by on their way home from serving a mission in Canada.
We had dinner and dancing. It was so fun to see them.
What more do you need: a purse, sunglasses and Diet Dr. Pepper?
We like to kiss each other on our way down the stairs to our apt.
A cold Sunday walk.
These two make me smile.
She's already a little "mommy."
Getting ready to fight.
Albert the kitty and blankie are Zach's favorites. And his pink chair. Poor boy, stuck with pink accessories. :)
Discovered more flowers...
Played a little croquet.
Zach hung out with his girlfriend in boy fashion, tantalizing and teasing her. She showed him who's boss. :)
Oh, wow, did these kids have energy!
This picture was taken by Ms. K Olsen, age 5. Not bad!
We got cooled off just a bit after the BBQ.
Or maybe more than a bit.
Then we had a little chocolate on the way home. Notice how it's on his foot too. :) Good times!
