Sunday July 29th

Today during the sacrament Lisey turns to me and says "I'm grateful for my brother Jesus Christ." Then she got a huge smile on her face and with a twinkle in her eyes she added, "He's handsome!"  I suppose this is one crush I don't mind so much. Then later she turns to me and says "Ella is going to get me a car". Lisey you are hilarious and I love you.

We went swimming today at the lehi pool, then went to the library and Costco for samples. I made homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner. The kids had fun playing outside while a big bucket of water. It was a good day. 

Today at the library, while I was looking for new books for the kids, a lady taps me on the shoulder and says "is that your son?" I turn around to see Link with his pants and diaper pulled down around his ankles. "Uh yeah that's my kid..." I guess the naked stage has begun...Oh boy!

Lisey wanted hair extensions in today. She looks so cute and grown up. 

All the kids helped make roll-ups this morning. We all wore aprons, even link. 

Tonight for my 11:11 wish I wished that Nick could be happy in his job, that we could somehow be able to buy a house next year, that we'd be better with our money and save it, and that Nick could finish school. I got quite a few wishes in before it turned 11:12. I know it's a silly thing to do but when I do I can see more clearly what I want and the things I need to start praying harder for. The thing I wish the most for is that Nick can be happy in his job. He really is not liking his boss right now and I'm pretty darn sure that his boss hates him. Not a good position to be in. Poor nick is stressed out all the time. And he's gone all the time. Things need to change in the job. It's just... Change is scary. Change is hard. Change is the unknown. I need to be braver and face it. But it is scary and that makes it hard.  But it is possible. You can do it!
