David, Tiffany and Sean arrived about 4am Saturday morning! Lucky us!
I don't need to say much, only he's just about the cutest little guy ever! And he's at the perfect age where he is very alert and interacts but isn't afraid of us. We bought a little chair that sits on the counter or a regular chair so he can catch all the action. He doesn't like to miss anything.
He enjoys his toys and especially when anyone plays with HIM with his toys!
big smile

what a difference a year can make!
First game of the season was yesterday. We played Lake Roosevelt (Grand Coulee) just like last year, except this year we won! BIG! (see last picture) Last year we lost. BAD. What a great day for a game. About 60 degrees, no wind (well OK a few breezes came up here and there), no rain. I didn't have to wear my winter boots, gloves, and wrap up in a blanket. There is still plenty of games left for that but it was sweet not having to do it. Sorry, pictures aren't in the order I want. I won't even start in on how sick I am of pictures being out of order! So here we go...
yes, Katie is the one and only pitcher again
Didn't give up any runs! At one point Bob heard the other coach yell to one of her players up to bat "go ahead and be picky, she hasn't shown us anything!" Um, hello coach.
The score was 23 to 0, and they had 0.

Correction...
Katie and I are working on Individual Worth #3 not DN #3. Just in case I confused any of you. :)

DN #3
If you have been in young women's or are currently serving (or have served) in young women's then you probably know what I mean by DN #3. That is the current value experience Katie and I are working on. It is one that you have to "notice the worthwhile qualities and attributes of others" for two weeks! I have only been doing this for 4 days and already I can see that I am quick to notice the things that irritate me.
I have my little reminder note on my nightstand so I don't forget. Katie has hers taped to her mirror in the bathroom.
So,
I am going to point out that I have a very thoughtful husband. Yesterday I got my hair done and as I was getting ready to pay the stylist said "Oh, don't worry about it Bob already came by earlier and took care of it for you". I am lucky to have such a sweetie.
Try focusing on the positive, it might be harder than you think (or maybe easier??)

my Thursday deals...
I keep telling myself I don't need to go to Wenatchee every Thursday (or whatever day I have off that week). It doesn't work because I continue to go every week! In my defense if I don't go then all I do is work - home 4 days a week and home - church 2 times a week! I mean a city girl has to get out of town once and a while right?? So here are the cool things I bought this week:
if you are counting calories you need to look for these, they are "bagel thins". 110 calories = 2 points! Found them at Costco. I love the wheat bread thins and so now I have an option.
found this little duster that is for dusting your baseboards. OK maybe your wondering who dusts their baseboards but I do and if you take a look they do get dusty, at least at my house!
I had to have these! Cute little serving glasses for fruit, ice cream or whatever! I don't have anything to serve dessert in besides plates and sometimes it's not what you serve but what you serve it in!
OK, I HAD to have this! Don't ask me why but I have been looking for something with butterflies. Not the little girly butterflies, something a 40+ person can wear. When I saw this at Macy's I knew it was made just for me! ha. I love it. I think butterflies mean spring and I'm all about spring right now.
I also found some awesome jewelry on the clearance table. Who would pay 29$ for these ear rings? They are Lucky brand but still. But would you buy them if they were 50% off plus an additional 30% off the clearance price PLUS you had a 20% off coupon? Well I would and did! It's not about if I really needed them or not, it was a deal! Also got some great late birthday presents. (you know who are you) ;)

Catching Up
It's been a while since my last post! That means I am going to cram 3 or 4 posts into one, lucky you.
Let's start with some pictures...
My hubby is still working hard on our on-going house project. The latest has been the laundry room. This is how he is spending his Friday night, putting tile down, removing a door and adding a small window and preparing sheet rock for paint, hopefully tomorrow. This is so we can bring our brand new washer and dryer in from the garage and hook them up! They are red and apparently have 50+ possible wash settings! Cheez.
HOPE
Tomorrow Katie is going to her Uncle Monte's funeral. He is Kinley's youngest brother. He is not even 30. He was found by a friend deceased at his parent's home. I haven't heard the final autopsy results but he did overdose, and at this time it's not known if it was accidental or planned. I have had all sorts of emotions this week as I have thought about him, his parent's, friends and family. I guess the one that I keep coming back to is how sad our Heavenly Father must be that one his children was so hopeless, so discouraged, and so desperate. This is what I wish every person would know and understand:
"Why Does Heavenly Father Love Us?"
Think of the purest, most all-consuming love you can imagine. Now multiply that love by an infinite amount - that is the measure of God's love for you.
God does not look on the outward appearance. I believe that He doesn't care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely.
He loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our resume but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked.
What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us.
*President Peter F. Uchtdorf
I hope Monte now understands God's love for him.
and on a much lighter note,
I am soooo happy March is here!
Just a few reasons I am soooo happy March has arrived...
1.Our weather this week has had a hint of spring in the air.
2. Softball season is officially underway!
3. Daylight savings time is around the corner (more daylight!)
4. Possibility of hope that I will feel increasingly motivated to exercise.
5. Spring clothes are appearing in the stores!
OK, that was this was a little much for one post...sorry!
Happy Friday everybody :)
