month and we are gettin’ through every day right now.<span style=""> </span>A quick update on what’s been going on:<span style=""> </span>Halloween is over, (YAY) oops did I say that out loud!<span style=""> </span>I’m really not a huge fan, but all of the fall festivities have been enjoyable for the kiddies.<span style=""> </span>Max was a vampire, Cici, snow white; and Samson, an overgrown frog!<span style=""> </span>I think they dressed up for about 5 different events from story time at the library, to PARTIES, to preschool, to Trick or Treating etc. etc, so I was glad when Halloween night came to a close.<span style=""> </span>Anyway, movin on to my title…I’ve just captured some really great moments in my brain lately and wanted to write them down so I will never forget them.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">First, Frank…my sweetheart who works so hard to support our little family took some time out this past weekend to fill his wife’s “love tank”!<span style=""> </span>(Five Love Languages)<span style=""> </span>I was in tears and poured out my thoughts and concerns on him and he took action.<span style=""> </span>I’ve just been feeling inadequate in every aspect of my life lately so Frank created an excel spreadsheet that we are going to laminate called “Our Plan of Happiness.”<span style=""> </span>It has a schedule for me to fill in my spiritual, physical, mental and emotional needs.<span style=""> </span>I am so happy that he did this for me.<span style=""> </span>I asked him why he chose the “Our Plan of Happiness” title when it’s my schedule and he said, “When Mom’s happy everyone’s happy,”…SO TRUE!<span style=""> </span>Thanks Babe…I sure love you!<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Next, Max…not only did the boy turn 5, but he has melted my heart a couple times lately.<span style=""> </span>We had a little Family Night lesson geared towards gratitude the other night and he said the sweetest thing.<span style=""> </span>We were making a paper chain countdown to Thanksgiving about things that we are thankful for and one of his was, “I AM THANKFUL THAT WE ARE HAPPY IN OUR LIVES!”<span style=""> </span>I loved it, so simple, pure and beautiful.<span style=""> </span>If only I could think like a child again!<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Moving on to Cici girl…she is now 3 as of Monday.<span style=""> </span>I can’t believe it!<span style=""> </span>I love that girl more than she’ll ever know.<span style=""> </span>I feel so privileged to have her in our lives.<span style=""> </span>Lately she’s been not wiping off her kisses so that I won’t get sad!

First the passing of my sweet Grandpa and now Frank's cousin Naki just passed away. I can't even tell you how hard this has been. Really the one thing that keeps us going is the knowledge we have, that our families will be together forever.<br /><br />Naki's passingwas very unexpected, he was 32 and the amazing husband to Abby and father to 6 beautiful girls. This family is seriously golden! Please keep this sweet family in your prayers. Several people have already asked how they could help, so I thought I would post the link on here. If you feel inclined to donate, I know that anything would be greatly appreciated!<br /><br />Go to: www.nakifamily.comFRANK AND HEATHER MAILEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09693826031896419258noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303973204066264569.post-1828259418596594292009-09-25T20:19:00.001-07:002009-09-25T20:41:38.410-07:00An Amazing Man!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0DygwTk2npUzd4gM1co-oITS2Tl6PrW_vowUtARTn0ygzb8XXEgaR0h7D2WeX6nNSPZeasH748vMeRX6Xixu9_VSg8pkZgrJdbNlNG1xuL0aiEbBW7UMSM37JhSQ6FOv_BqesGyqgI0q/s1600-h/P1010031.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0DygwTk2npUzd4gM1co-oITS2Tl6PrW_vowUtARTn0ygzb8XXEgaR0h7D2WeX6nNSPZeasH748vMeRX6Xixu9_VSg8pkZgrJdbNlNG1xuL0aiEbBW7UMSM37JhSQ6FOv_BqesGyqgI0q/s320/P1010031.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385611227901208338" border="0" /></a>My dear Grandpa is fighting for his life at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I feel so blessed to live close enough to spend some time with him. Through the radiation and chemo, he has done quite well, but has gone down hill rather rapidly since he was diagnosed. I got to spend some time with him yesterday, and had a flood of emotions come over me. He is so special. I just love him so much and feel so privileged to be his grand daughter.

We've decided to celebrate each season with a <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">PARTY</span> on the 1st day of each new season. A few things we did were: a bug search, decorated foam plates and then made them into paddles to hit balloons, we read a story about a caterpillar turning into a butterfly and then the kids acted like caterpillars and then turned into butterflies to some classical music, we made pinecone bird-feeders, we had the classic egg hunt and then had lunch!

I have a special request...will you please remember a sweet 3 year old girl named Bostyn in your prayers. She is currently in the hospital with a severe infection that is affecting both of her eyes and is spreading. The Doctors are still trying to figure out exactly what is going on, but they have been able to rule out Staff Infection, which came as a huge relief to Emmett and Ashlee. My heart aches for her...I can't get her off my mind. I know that the power of prayer is so real and I ask you to join me in praying for this precious girl! WE LOVE YOU BOSTYN! Max is very concerned about you and wants you to know that he hopes you get better soon.FRANK AND HEATHER MAILEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09693826031896419258noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303973204066264569.post-45526656269859038162009-01-31T08:43:00.001-08:002009-01-31T08:52:45.495-08:00BuggedMorgan tagged me...I'm supposed to name 10 things that bug me...here we go:<br /><br />1. Not being able to shower until 4 in the afternoon some days.<br />2. A messy car...I don't know why I can't stay on top of it, but it really grosses me out some days.<br />3. Paying bills.<br />4. When my kids are all having a "whiney day" all at the same time. (Patience, Patience, Patience)<br />5. Not having enough time to spend with my love. We are definitely stretched too thin right now.<br />6. My food not being hot enough.<br />7. Gossip.<br />8. when my feet get rough. (I LOVE pedicures)<br />9. food that I'm attracted to is so fattening...frustrating!<br />10. not being in physical shape that I'd like to be.

We created an almost FREE craft project, so I thought I would share. My friend Jackie supplied almost the whole thing. I had a few things to throw into the pot like glitter spray, paint & brushes, and raffia. Anyway… this is what we did: (sidenote...mine is not hung up yet so that you can see it a little better in the picture)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCGeaHTXHBeFgj_N_pTndc23TADEC60dpWXf_Kt_xUv76eTeRXXd3QLZjc3lNf3EaGpdeSvunUbYte5_t0T-z7KSuwPG8m8l15tHm9JXiETmF2trk7xY2bBVHcUY8I2FjvYTCD7pjlQB1/s1600-h/P1010738.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCGeaHTXHBeFgj_N_pTndc23TADEC60dpWXf_Kt_xUv76eTeRXXd3QLZjc3lNf3EaGpdeSvunUbYte5_t0T-z7KSuwPG8m8l15tHm9JXiETmF2trk7xY2bBVHcUY8I2FjvYTCD7pjlQB1/s320/P1010738.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255337759842891122" border="0" /></a>1- Jackie had her husband cut up these wood scraps and then she primed them<br />2- Jackie went to the canyon and picked leaves and then put modge podge on them so that they will stay beautiful and shiny . (p.s. they need to dry overnight)<br />3- Then we got together and put our creativity to work. It was so fun to see how everyone’s turned out…they were all so unique. I wish I had pics of the others.<br />4- instead of ordering vinyl lettering Courtney came up with the genius idea of using sticks for the lettering. How appropriate for fall time…I loved it!<br />5- Anyway…everything is just hot glued on. So EASY! And it was a fun night out with the girls.
