The piano story

Once upon a time there was a BIG pregnant maiden who loved to play the piano. Now she put this love to good use. she taught children around her how to love this instrument and in her church she was NEVER with out a time when she did not play the piano for those around her. She often remembered when there was no piano in her life and music seemed to fade away, but when she found her handsome prince charming, he made sure that she could have the music again. She loved the Piano that the handsome prince gave her, it was old but had a young sound and heart, she spent hours enjoying its beautiful sounds.
then one day for some reason unknown to her, her stake president called her home asking how large it was, while the princess and prince thought it was a weird request they told the President the size of their home, he then explained he had a piano he needed a home for! it was newer, and a few steps up from their old one and needed a place to be loved. Of course the Princess was not going to turn down the offer! as the week went by she worried she had been to hasty in accepting the new piano, what if it did not have the young heart her current instrument did? what if its previous owners had not taken care of it?? it was too late however because she had already found a wonderful home for her beloved instrument, and she could not take it back from this home now!
Much to her surprise and excitement, the piano came friday and ended up being everything she dreamed and more. It had been a hasty purchase by a young man who didn't need it or loved it- over the next few years it moved from place to place in search of a good home, but never found anyone who truly appreciated its sound or beauty, now it arrived here. The prince and princess rejoiced and knew they would enjoy together the sounds this new piano would bring to their lifes. so they lived happily ever after with music in their home!
The End.


I have no Idea why I was the first person thought of, but I am glad I was and I am pretty sure this piano has finally found a home which loves and appreciates it for every ounce of sound it can produce! it is beautiful and sounds amazing. I just wish I knew what I have done in my life to deserve all the blessings the Lord is POURING on us right now.

Reflections on my sweeties

Today as we sat in church I watched my two children and thoguht about how wonderful they truly are. they are so different and because of their differences they each bring us so much joy and happiness.

Jackson:
I think Heavenly father engineered him to bring joy into this world. Every thing about him brings a smile to your face- even when he does something naughty like wet his pants the response is " I tried so hard to run to the bathroom but I just couldn't make it" he says it with the sweetest tone and earnestness that you just can't be mad! He is SO expressive and happy. always a song in his voice and a bounce in his step. EVERY WHERE we go people take notice and stop and talk to him. He brings a feeling of joy and love to your heart just by looking at him and you can't help but fall in love with him. the only time he gets into trouble is when his never ending energy gets all bubbled up and out of control. but he has a good heart and deeply loves every one around him. I even love the way he walks!

Olivia:
She is a soft strong girl. She is extremely sensitive. when some one cries around her or she sees pain, she cries. she would never play with a baby doll, but get her around a real baby and she becomes this instant mother, very mature and confident in how she handles anything from a binky to bouncing an infant or leading a scared girl about her same age down the hall to class. I often have to remind her who the mother of this house is. she is cautious in all things. when making christmas list it took me a while to convince her that during christmas she could dream! she could pick things more then two dollars! she is STUBBORN! as long as we can keep that going the right direction she will be a streangth to all around her. she LOVES with all her heart the lord and his teachings, even when she was little she has never doubted the truth of the gospel and relies on what she know to lead her. she is a nurturer. she loves deeply those around her.

With two amazing children it left me again wondering what this third one will bring andhow ourhome will change with her presence. I know the Lord will send us a strongspirit and I can't wait to get to know her and all she brings!

Oh the strange hobbies I have!

It occurred to me the other day I have a very strange hobby. The funny thing was when I mentioned it to my husband and a friend...they already knew about it!

I love cleaning baseboards.

strange I know... but when someone comes to visit you can bet I have cleaned my baseboards, when I am stressed- you can bet I have cleaned the base boards...every time I clean the house to be "baby ready"- I clean the base boards, its my thing I do. The weird thing is I LOVE IT! It makes any house feel cleaner even though you may not realize why, Its like this hidden dirt that a lot of people over look or forget, but when you get rid of it every thing feels better! SO goofy I know- but.... if I am having a GREAT day or a really rough one...I have probably cleaned my base boards!
