Thoughts!

Cute as a button!
This is the end product!
Things just keep moving! Yesterday, Kristi, Mom and I canned peaches. We were able to get free peaches from our aunt. So we started canning, Kristi thought we would only get 5 quarts each (split three ways). Well, she was totally wrong we each got about 21 quarts. We spent all afternoon doing, but with a 3 dollar investment and some time. We got lots of peaches for the winter!
This past week we did our floors holliday schedule and let me tell you it was terrible- lots of tears and heated arguments. It was not fun. I'm working Christmas, which I knew I would be, but that's part of being a nurse and working at the hospital (no matter if you are a new nurse or if you have been a nurse for 30 yrs)! I won't go into that anymore, but my manager will!
Can I say again that I love blogs. One of my friends always talks about her sister and her cute baby (so I feel like I know them through her). So I looked at the blog, and her last post was about Elder Bednar coming and visiting their stake conference. She put what he said in her thought, and it was great and very up-lifting and thought provoking! One thing that I got from it was living in the now and being happy (which if any of you know me really well know that is a hard thing for me with school and work for Dave). I have been working on a blessings book, where each night I try to write down my blessings that I have recieved in a day(which I have been slacking on- but i am going to do better)! It can be little things like I'm blessed to have gotten a kiss and hug from my little boy when I got home from work to I am thankful that Dave has a great paying job so that I can only work part time. I think this has really helped me to keep things in perspective and see that Heavenly Father is blessing me each and everyday from small things to little things! But, I have done really good lately in not wishing that Dave was done with school or I was working PRN. I have really just been trying to live in the now and just enjoy my beutiful kids and wonderful husband!! But back to the thought that blogs are great to help each other out and share thoughts!
Biggest Loser is back and I think that it will be a great season! They did the scare factor in the first episode and it sure worked for me. It was an emotional episode for me- I cried. I could feel for this daughter and Father and how this father is so sick cause of his weight! It makes me want to make sure that everyone is working to get to their goal weight! Yes I love reality TV- Dave can attest to that!
Jonathan is doing so good in listening and understanding what I am saying. This morning I needed to go to Checker Auto, on the way there I knew that there wouldn't be any charts. I try not to go any where, where I can't keep Jonathan contained. He has a thing for running off and doing his own thing. So on the way there I explained to him that he needed to be good and stay with me. I got Sarah and then Jonathan out, and gave Jonathan my wallet to carry. He does really good when he has something to be in charge of (he stayed right next to me so the wallet didn't get lost!), He did great he stayed with me and then followed the man when we need to get something. He touched a few things but other then that he stayed by my side I was so proud of him!!
Sarah is just wonderful- she is finding her voice more and just loves to laugh out loud and like to just whisper da da da, she continues to be a joy. I am waiting with baited breath for Sarah pictures on Monday it will be 3 weeks, so any day now!! She is doing so much better with eating it is great! Everything continues to go in her mouth, and she is so good at clamping her mouth shut so I don't get it out!
Dave is doing really good at school and staying on top of everything

That is a great idea to keep a blessing book every night. I really could use that right now! What a great idea. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate but are doing a great job. How neat you guys canned all those peaches. Way to go. They look delicious!
