Gratitude list for my "chillins"

About two weeks ago, I went to pick up my vacuum and move it away from our stairs so noone would get hurt. Unfortunately, I forgot to tell myself that. As I picked it up and turned I felt a sharp pain go thru the upper shoulder area of my back. Great! I pulled something. That's ok I thought, it'll be ok tomorrow. Well, seems like tomorrow kept going and going and here we are two weeks worth of "tomorrows". I started going to the chiropractor last Thurs. I did not like him for probably the next 4 days. Yesterday I finally started to like him. The pain is going away :) No more feeling like my breaths been taken away. Woohoo!! I can also pick up Caleb out of his crib and not feel like I'm going to cry. Woohoo, even better. Who can resist picking up such a cute little dude! Anyway, my kiddos yesterday did some little but huge things for me. I don't think they really realize how much I appreciate it so I am making sure that all of you know how much I appreciate it :) Maybe it will leak back to them. It started out with Josh. He finished up the sememster at LDSBC 2 weeks ago and every morning he gets Emma and Seth breakfast and then takes Emma to school. Oh how I love that. I actually am getting more than 4 hrs of sleep on nights that I work. When he got back I heard some noise coming from the bathroom. At first I thought it was Seth in there playing with his tub toys. Low and behold it was actually Josh cleaning the bathroom. He must have been reading my mind. I have wanted to do that the past 3 days. You can only look at the same spot on the mirror for so long. I then heard my bedroom door get shut and then mumbling of Adam and Josh talking. Josh left for work and a little bit later, I hear Adam asking Zoe, Emma and Seth to help pick up toys, shoes, coats, whatever it was out of the front room and family room. WOW!!! That is huge. Normally I have to beg Adam to do stuff like that. Not only did he help the little kids pick-up and vacuum, he finished off his dishes, he mopped my kitchen floor (I LOVE the mopping fairy when he shows up) and he tiddied up the puppy area in the kitchen. I am soooooooo grateful that he did that for me. What a nice surprise!!

Other nice surprise....Zoe had her homework done right after school. She even had her reading and spelling words done that we normally do Friday mornings before school because we've both forgotten about it.

Again....WOW, are these my kids???? Ahhhh, it's moments like this that make me just smile from ear to ear.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Sooo......

Well, there's no reason to beat around the bush. Some of you already know but our "little" family is going to get a little bigger. We found out last week that we are expecting the last little Price. We knew when we decided to have Seth that we were going to have one more and this time it just took a little longer. Baby Price will make an appearance just before Halloween, Oct 23rd. We are getting excited and for the moment feeling good. We'll see how long that lasts. Can I just tell you how glad I am it is not going to be in November or December. LOL.

My lil' Seth....not so little

Every year I take the little kids to get their birthday pictures done in November and December. Since I wanted to get a new family picture with everyone I decided to wait. My sister Kris and her daughter Dawn are here visiting from Ohio and Dawn wanted to get a few pictures taken of her little boy AJ who is 5 months old. I told her about Kiddie Kandids and thought hey, I should get Seth's done since I don't have a single pic of him on my "kid" shelf other than when he turned 1. Emma was bummed that we didn't get her pic taken but I promised her we would go soon. I'm also looking forward to doing Adam's senior pics for next year as well as Josh's mission (keep your fingers crossed) pics in the next month or two. Anyway, here are the ones of my "not" so lil' guy who is now 2 1/2.....I love how they turned out.

Pres Monson :)

I just have to say, I thank Thee O God for a Prophet!!! For years I have sat back in silent admiration for our dear, loving prophet. I have been inspired and humbled by many of his wonderful teachings. I know that I'm not really supposed to share many of my work experiences but I couldn't help share a wonderful, humorous side of our prophet. Monday night I took a call from Pres Monson, he was looking for one of his secretaries who happened to not be available. He said that he would try again later and that maybe he would take a drive. He joked and even mentioned taking a walk on the boardwalk. I don't know how it happened but all of a sudden he and I were talking about Monopoly and he was quizzing me on the different names on the Monopoly board. I have to admit I must be a lousy Monopoly player, I could only remember a few of the properties. I even cheated a little and tried to google the Monopoly board for help. Pres Monson just laughed and said he's played longer th...
