*It was beautifully sunny today, and warm (it's all relative) and it made me have a sunny mood!
*I went to the gym this morning. It feels good to exercise.
*I went got some Scentsy bars (like candles but you just melt them instead of light them on fire) and one of the smells I got kinds smells camping (spruce and citrus is the name) and I was thinking about how fun it was to go camping as a child with my family-fond memories. I like to go camping now, but I am really scared of bears eating my family (and me).
*Our family went to the Draper temple open house. After a temple construction is complete, they let anyone go through a tour of the temple before it is dedicated. It was a beautiful temple. It was special to take the kids.
*Todd was pushing Katherine in the stoller in the sunshine, and I looked at her in her adorable dress and happy smile and felt so much love for her! I am so grateful she joined our family. Right now she is close to crawling. She gets on all fours and rocks back and forth. She rolls all over. She does really good in the daycare while I am at the gym. Lately she is in to singing. She sings to herself and if I sing to her, she tries to copy me.
*Before the tour we sat to watch an intro video. Alex asked to hold the baby. I watched my firstborn hold my baby--such a sweet moment. I was just staring at the sugary sweet cuteness when Alex told me to watch the movie (I guess I was embarassing him).
*While we were waiting in line, a family with 2 boys and a baby girl was standing in front of us. They asked how old our baby was (6 months) and they said their baby was 9 months. The dad asked his boys "How many months older is she? What is 9 minus 6?" The boys didn't answer so from behind Nathan said "thwee". The dad turned around and said "There's a little mathematician." I was a proud mother, but even if he and Alex weren't the smartest kids ever I'd still be proud. On the way home in the car, Nathan said, "Do you want to count to 272 with me?" He really loves to count and really loves numbers. Why 272? Who knows? These kids are better entertainment than Comedy Central-- they always make me smile and laugh.
*I was so happy all day today. I thought to myself, if I died today, I'd have lived a wonderful life.
