how hard Sundays can be with Two ACTIVE little boys and being pregnant. I think I could write a good comedy story about it….someday when it is funny, I just might do that.
But with that said, I am grateful to have two active HEALTHY boys. I am grateful they TRY to be reverent, and TRY to remember not to run in the halls at church and the chapel, and TRY to remember not to climb over the pews into the elderly womans lap behind us. I am grateful I am HEALTHY enough to attend church and partake of the sacrament, even though the whole time is spend prompting and helping them be reverent. I am grateful for FAMILY who is close enough to see and to celebrate them. I am grateful for the OPPORTUNITY to serve my Savior. I am grateful to be a MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTERDAY SAINTS. I am grateful for HUGS and KISSES after the boys are naughty.
Lastly, I am most grateful for the reminder that my little boys are just that….LITTLE BOYS.

I am grateful for a HUBBA who finds so much JOY in being a MOTHER and DAUGHTER OF GOD. =)
I’m not pregnant… but I have been husband-less for the last month at church at it is HARD. I was so excited, though to see a family that has struggled and struggled to return to church after many years. The mom and her 3 young kids came to church yesterday even though her husband was out of town and I was so proud of her. It is hard… but oh so worth it. Not only for myself… but because I believe that my kids are still absorbing something. (Maybe very little.. but something.) this morning – at about 3 in the morning Lizzy didn’t feel well and I comforted her and then put her back to bed. Just outside her room I heard her talking. She was praying. Heavenly Father.. please help me feel better. And I thought… It is so worth it. Sorry that was long.
I only have my one little guy, but he is an active thing. Ken comes early for meetings, so we drive seperately and there have been so many weeks I have been tempted to just leave after the Sacrament and not deal with Sunday School and Relief Society. I, also, just have to remind myself, that by going to church, and staying (even if we spend half our meetings walking the halls), I am teaching my son that church is important to me and something that I believe in.
