I love this picture of all the kids piling on top of Scott. He is such a good Dad and I love that he takes time to play with them. They had a ball doing this!
Sometimes I wish there more hours in the day. My to do list is so long and even if I worked on it constantly, I would never get everything done!!! I think part of this life is learning to prioritize what is most important. Sometimes what is most important is not on my to do list. The other day, I was trying so hard to get my dishes done and Ammon kept wedging himself between me and the counter and pushing me away from the dishes. I was so close to being done. I just wanted to get it done! But I finally dried my hands off and picked him up and sat down and read him a story. He just wanted some attention. It is good to get things accomplished but I think it is so important how we treat people and we make others feel. Sometimes I get so caught up in my to do list and my schedule that I forget this! Anyway, I am so grateful for my family and lately I have been very aware of how blessed I am. I need to take time to feel gratitude and make sure I don't get caught in the trap of negativity and thinking how bad things are. Lately, it has been helping me to get through some trials to try and be as positive as possible. I'm not perfect and sometimes it doesn't work but it sure makes it easier to deal with "stuff". Today I am grateful that my family is healthy and it is Friday and the weather outside is absolutely gorgeous! Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Great post, Kari. You wrote my thoughts, thanks for saving me the time!;)
I enjoyed your post very much. I need to remember to choose the better part of my to-do list too. It is so overwhelming sometimes that I feel trapped but like you said, if we take the time to remember what matters most to us (our family) then we will be okay.
