HAPPINESS IS...






One of my fabulous friends from Fillmore tagged me so here I go...








HAPPINESS IS...




*My kids laughter!!!


*Boy toys like balls and trucks and wii games. Boys that are dirty but stay in the shower too long. Watching them perform well and knowing that surely comes from my side of the gene pool.



*Brothers that share EVERYTHING...a room, their money, and their treasured football cards!








*Girls without drama, and one with enough to make up the difference. Dolls, bows, dresses, and being able to look at them and see a picture of myself as a kid.


*When your 3 year old insists that she have an extra bubble at the birthday party to take home to her nearly 15 year old sister.



*Watching your kids grow up to be better than you ever thought of being (and a whole lot smarter too!).




*The sound of 8 children hustling around the house doing THEIR thing.


*The quiet time when everyone is finally in bed and Glen and I can FINALLY talk.




*Being able to see the temple from our house!

*Being able to go to the temple weekly now! We live 7 minutes away and can be there and back in about 2 hours.


*When your husband helps clean up dinner, do dishes, help with homework, etc. because we are are both coaches on the same TEAM!!!


*When the TEAM helps.





*A fist full of flowers...dandelions (not from my yard, of course!).




*A shower before 1:00 (you knew that was coming)!




FINALLY...





*Having a testimony and a sure knowledge of the gospel, its truthfulness, and its peace. Knowing I have a Heavenly Father that loves imperfect me, and a Saviour, Jesus Christ, who has made it possible for me to live imperfectly with the hope that I can one day be with them and my family FOREVER!!!



So now I am going to tag ALL of my family members that have blogs. Some of you haven't blogged in a while. Are you up for the challenge?
