Lately I have felt like Lucy has run our house. She YELLS a lot, and has lots and lots of attitude. She is our resident wild woman. Here is a sample of some of our conversations.

Lunch-
Mom- "Lucy, what do you want for lunch?"
Lucy-"Umm, I want tomato soup."
M- "Okay"
L- "Except with out the tomatoes."
I don't know how to do that.

Yesterday, on our way to get Lilly from school. We walk because it is in our backyard. Her scooter was in the back of the van covered by some things.

Mom-" It's time to go get Lilly, hop in the stroller, please."
Lucy- screaming "I WANT my SCOOTER!"
M- "You can't ride your scooter because you aren't suppose to ride it on the school grounds and it's only three houses away. It's not worth it."
L- "I WANT MY SCOOTER!"
M- As I grab her and put her in the stroller and start walking to the school. "You can't ride your scooter especially when you are throwing a fit like this."
L-"I don't want to be in in here. I WANT MY SCOOTER!"
M- "Well, I am sorry. I want you to be happy but that's not happening. We don't always get what we want."
L- "I DON'T WANT TO BE HAPPY. IT'S BORING."

What mom was thinking," Well heaven forbid we be boring."

There's something profound in that "happy is boring" idea. It's too late at night for me to figure it out. But it's VERY profound.

California here we come

By
July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
