Don't you love those days where you feel like you have gotten so much done? Today was one of those days.
Me and Sharla took our boys to the zoo today, they had so much fun. On the way home we stopped at the firestation (Sharla's husband is a fire fighter) to look at the "wee-ooo". We came home, Graham slept!!!, and I did some data entry (for an online subscription that helps you match up coupons with store deals to get cheap/free stuff... couponsense.com if anyone is wondering), did the dishes, took Graham and our dog Sophie to the park, went to a Relief Society Enrichment night, and updated my blog :)
Now, I know to some that doesn't seem like that much... but it is quite a feat for me! I will sleep good tonight!
...side note... at the park Graham was wearing a hat, it fell off, he put it back on and continued playing... but he put it on sideways, like he was a 'gangsta' or something... it was so cute, but I didn't have my camera... You will just have to imagine it...
More or Less Bryan's ..... More about the kids, Less about the parents

Seven Random Facts About Me:
1. When I am bored I use my saliva to make bubbles with my tongue. It makes a popping sound, and it drives Tommy nuts!
2. I have a new found hobby, reading. The only problem is I am reading five books at once: Pride and Predjuice, Wooden on Leadership, Book of Mormon, Harry Potter 4, and Arming Your Children with the Gospel. All very different but all very good.
3. I wait to do laundry as long as possible... i.e. until I have nothing clean to wear, or until it is piled too high to fit in the hamper. Today, for instance, I did 9 loads... and I still have 3 left to do!
4. If I eat something I shouldn't (because I have already had some or it is not healthy or something), hiding the wrapper in the garbage means it never happened!
5. I like to drink milk out of the carton... (if my mom reads this she will freak! But I do have three brothers, so I am blaming them)
6. I have webbed toes. Actually only two are webbed together about half way up. It is actually genetic on my mother's side of the family. My uncles toes are way more webbed than mine... and no, it doesn't make me a good swimmer.
7. I would love to go back to school... to become a photographer, or interior designer, or CAD drafter, or artist... the list could go on and on. I have a great desire to learn things, of the arts especially. I am hoping when our last child is in school and we can afford it, that I can go back and get my degree... in something.

Bitter Sweet
Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions for me. I got released from my calling as Young Woman 1st Counselor. It is actually wierd, I kind of felt it coming on. I was called in before sacrament meeting and was told I was being released and asked how I felt about my year of serving there. I was fine through sacrament and sunday school, but lost it in YWs. I guess you don't really realize how much you will miss something until it is gone.
I had the opportunity to lead the same group of girls almost the entire time I was in Young Woman's (I was in Beehives when they were, and then was called to Mias when they moved up). I have formed such a great relationship with those girls. And I love each of them in their individuality.
It makes me reflect on the one Young Woman's leader that had a profound influence on me... Annette Rucker. She is such a righteous woman who taught me many important principles when I was a Mia Maid. But more importantly she took a particular interest in me and became my friend and an adult I knew I could turn to if I needed it. Even to this day I will see her in the hall and we will chat and laugh. How grateful I am that she was my leader in a critical time of my life. I only hope that I was a glimmer of what she was for me. Thanks, Annette!
