Wed May 6th

I'm feeling motivated to change my life for the better. (Listening to conference and praying while in my run tends to do that to me :). Here's my plan for the summer to accomplish the things I want to accomplish...mainly consistent family and personal prayer and family scripture study. Come on Brooke! Step it up!

Yes it is written in a scrap of paper. I just needed it out of my head and onto something tangible. I need to plan to succeed in my goals. No more floating. I know what your thinking journal...you said this before....and you're right, but I have to keep trying. As Nick offen reminds me "you only fail, when you stop trying". Keep trying Brooke! 

This morning we dressed Ella up like a super hero for a spirit day at school. 

It's Super Ella! Ella says that her super power is the power of giving. I love it : ) 

Lisey and I took Link to the urologist this afternoon. He's going to get circumcised on Friday. Poor buddy. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and they won't find anything wrong. 

After we got Ella we just played at home for the afternoon. Ella and Lisey had a good time together. We had fajitas for dinner that were very yummy. Nick was great and did the dishes and gave Lincoln a bath. And I got some well needed cleaning done. We even got the kids into bed by 7:30pm! It was great. It makes me think that I try to fit to much in the day. Not going out after school felt so nice. I got so much more done! Dinner actually got made and we had it early and even got the house cleaned up. I'm not saying we're always going to just stay in after school but I think I'm going to try and do it more often. Or at least only go out for a bit so we can still have an early dinner and early bed time. Easier said than done. Boy am I going to miss Nick!
