I just read a friend's blog, and it has inspired me to change my ways and be more positive! So...here is my attempt!
I love my Boyeez. How great is it to live with 3 male comedians?! We have a lot of laughin' goin on over here (admittedly, some of it is fake--how many times can you laugh at a nonsensical knock-knock joke!) We've got everything from Erkle impressions (done by Ryan--a side of him that most will never see), to made up jokes(by Remington), to Walker's chase games (he runs as fast as he can from everyone and everything--which he finds delightful). And of course, they love to torment us girls!
Which brings me to my girl...
Inny Binny!
Indi has also decided she is a comedian. She has chocolate popsicle all over her face in this picture in an attempt to be funny. She is also the best fake laugher over knock-knock jokes and she sings as loud as she can every week in Sacrament meeting (which I love!)
I also love holidays! I love silly traditions like candlelight V-day dinners and millions of miniature easter-egg hunts, fireworks with sour candies and matching Halloween costumes! Last year we were pirates...I think we will be US soldiers this year (my way of saying I support our troops and the war--that may be a controversial comment for some). Best of all, I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS!!!!
I also love plain oatmeal cereal with blended up raspberries on top, and fiesta ranch is my new favorite secret cooking ingredient. I love the color blue and blue/greenish colors, and YELLOW (especially on and in houses). I have decided not to color my hair anymore, partially because I always have them color it my natural color (so I spend a lot of money on what?) and because I love it when older women have their natural hair color with all of it's grays or whites, or whatever color it may be, and I want to have my natural color when I'm older...so I might as well start now.
As odd as this is...I love it when my kids go poop because I always worry about their bowels working properly. A good poop means everything is fine! I love it when my prayers are answered, but I love it even more when my children's prayers are answered...one of my favorite things is Indi's prayers. She always prays that Heavenly Father will not let Jesus die again (which we have gone over many,many, MANY times--that he won't ever die again), but she puts it in there for good measure every day. I love Remington's prayers on the nights that I am cranky and trying to get them into bed--quickly!!! He will always make sure that he tells Heavenly Father how thankful he is for his nice, wonderful mom (how can I be cranky after that?) and I love tucking Walker in because we have a kiss and tickle game we play every night--I love having my last moment with him be full of laughter and giggles!
I also love the church and the people it brings into my life. In TX I was always amazed at how good my friends were. I became and better mother and wife and friend and neighbor because I had their good examples to follow. Now, in AZ, I have new friends to watch and learn from--I guess change is good!:)

Awww, schucks Lena! What a sweet post. You have one wonderful family, that's fo sho!!! And can I just say I, too, love when my kid's poop (as long as it's in the toilet and not outside or in a diaper). You are a good mom--you're kids are lucky to have you. :)
What a great post Lena! I wish I could do a good post like this but I'm so dang lazy when it comes to writing. Can I just tell you how much that pic of Indi looks like you! The expression on her face is one I have seen you make many times!! :)

Thanks for sharing these cherished memories. Thanks, thanks, and more thanks! Grandma S!
Lena,
Your little girl looks just like you--I can remember you when we were little and you having that exact same look. :) Brings back great memories!!
I really appreciate your comment about the soldiers. I get really tired hearing how horrible the war is. It makes me fell no one appreciates what my husband fought for, even though I know that is not entirely true, its hard to get past sometimes.THANK YOU!!
