10 on Tuesday…

Randomly picked this up on a road trip and I’ve been obsessed ever since. SoBe Life Water Pacific Coconut. Try it.

2. Pretty obsessed with the Olympics these days too. The gymnastics is by far my favorite, right next to the diving and do I dare admit this but… I kind of like the synchronized swimming too! ha! 
 
The kids totally fell asleep one night watching the Olympics. ♥

3. On the same lines as gymnastics, we found this CUTE American Girl Doll App for the iphone. It’s Called McKenna’s Gymnastics. Love it. Brooklyn thinks she wants Santa to bring her an American Girl Doll for Christmas. ;)

4. Finally took the kids to a Summer Movie. Super cute. My favorite thing was that all the kids in the theater kept breaking into laughter at all the same parts!  IMG_1522
5. I really love this blog. She is full of cute ideas!
Pillow Thought
6. Does anyone else HATE these new blogger ads? Grrr.
7. I ordered this journal to help me study my scriptures better. In love. Go HERE to check out her system.

8. My friend Annalee posted this song on her blog, loved it. I love being a mom. Even on the hard days. It’s almost been a year since we put our adoption papers back in. I don’t like to admit it but I worry and wonder if our little family is complete. Moving on, so I don’t start dripping tears on the keyboard. :(




9. I love our garden. Confession, more than half of it is growing my decorative pumpkins for my porch this fall. ♥

10. Favorite quote today  {I used it in my lesson on Sunday}

“A friend is more concerned about helping people than getting credit. A friend cares. A friend loves. A friend reaches out.
We can strengthen one another; we have the capacity to notice the unnoticed. When we have eyes that see, ears that hear, and hearts that know and feel, we can reach out and rescue those for who we have responsibility.
Often small acts of service are all that is required to lift and bless another: a question concerning a person’s family, quick words of encouragement, a sincere compliment, a small note of thanks, a brief phone call. If we are observant and aware, and if we act on the promptings wish come to us, we can accomplish much good.” President Thomas S. Monson

I want to be a better friend.

Today I will…

Well hello. It’s nice to meet you all again. Lucky for us I have the sweetest neighbors alive (all of them) but one in particular today that saw me out push mowing my acre + lawn and came and finished it for me with his riding lawn mower so it didn’t end up taking 3 hours and now I have a little extra time to catch up on my blog! Note to self: MUST BUY RIDING LAWN MOWER!

I have been wanting a fresh herb garden forever. So I finally got one planted, I will have Cilantro, Spearmint, Rosemary & Parsley. The cilantro has already sprouted! We also planted a garden. I’m so new to all of this, we’ve never had the space to do one.  My strawberry starts look great & I’m hoping my rhubarb start gets going too! I’ve got corn, pumpkins, peas, onions well the works! Giddy I tell you.

oh, and don't forget about my flowers... I am SO in love with the cute bird cage I picked up @ Real Deals! It makes me happy. Don't you find that it's the smallest things that make you the most happy?


I am trying this recipe tonight: 15 minute Creamy Avocado Pasta… I’ll let you know if it’s good!
(click on the picture for the recipe)
These are honestly all the books I am in the middle of right now. Sheesh, I keep telling myself to just pick one and read it start to finish!


 Our cat Yummy had baby kittens, so we have gone from 4 sweet little kittens (who were all white when they were born… did you know that if your cat has Siamese in her then they are like Dalmatians and don’t get their coloring until they get older?!) It was super fun to watch them all get different markings!

Then there were three…

and now we have one left… does any one want a kitten? She’s potty trained and ready to go! They are seriously some of the sweetest most mellow kitties ever. I guess they would have to be to put up with my crazy kids! ;)
