The Simple Life

This is my nephew, Wyatt really devouring some corn-on-the-cob. I've never seen anyone love a vegetable so much. He closed his eyes and enjoyed every bite. It made me think about enjoying the simple things in life. We always been taught to be more like children: teachable, forgiving, kind, humble. I think one more thing to add to that list would be enjoying little things.

Anton and I went on a YW retreat to Island Park with the girls in our ward this weekend. We had a blast! We laughed till we couldn't stop! But I really missed Isie. She had been staying with her Grandma Nelson in Preston and they met us halfway between there and Poky when we got back. I was so excited to hear her little voice and see her smile. She really brightens my day. As soon as we got home she let me hold her on my lap (which is rare) and she said, "I missed you, Mommy." I don't think there is anything that beats holding my little daughter in my arms. Just a simple act, but it means the world.

Hey Sydney! It's fun to see pictures of you & your cute family. You too look good. I would love to get together! And that's so sweet what your Isie did when you got home from Island Park. My Owen doesn't let me cuddle him to much anymore either so I love it when he does let me.

Thanks for commenting and saying hi. I love to hear from people and especially those I haven't chatted with in forever. I loved looking at your blog. Your family is super cute and you seem so happy. I saw Megan in Lowes the other day and asked her about ya. We really should get everybody together soon. I bet you love serving in Young Womens. Keep in touch. ~Callie

Thanks for driving with us up to Island Park! I had so much fun with you guys!

I agree though, it's the best to just get home and see the kids again. Nothing makes me happier.
