First Day in Florida

Mark and I are completely elated at our chance to be here. We are already having so much fun. The flight left at 10 this morning and we arrived here around 4:30 Florida Time. I have pics. of Mark at the SL Airport and Mark and I at the Orlando Airport. Don't laugh to hard at the cheesey pics but I am posting a lot of things to make my kids feel a part of the whole deal. Like for instance...the airplane, and Zach loves cars so the pic. of Papa John's car is for you.

Reunion

Our Hotel Room. It is even nicer than it looks!

Once we checked in at the hotel we met over at Judy's house and had hors d'oeuvres and Judy made a great salad and grilled up an amazing dinner with hamburgers, hot sausage, and chicken. We had such a nice evening relaxing by the pool and listening to the warm rain drizzle on the patio roof.

I'm so impressed that you have had any time to blog - Your kids are doing great. Eli and Abby are real pals and so are Rachael and Noel. (I think Noel is going to set up Rachael for a double date tonight) Your baby is adorable and is playing well with Allie. I will encourage Rachael to blog so you can see the snake that they found in the back yard!

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
