Life is like a box of Chocolates!

O.k. weird title but yes my life is a box of chocolates. Leave them in the car and they melt and are not appetizing anymore. Eat them one by one savoring every bite is the way I prefer to eat a box of chocolates. Eat them all at once and you get a tummy ache. Apply "Chocolate" to my life and you get "savor every little moment I have with my husband and kids". Yes! I love my family. They are the light of my life. I prayed hard to God for each and everyone of them. They were not accidents they were very intensely thought about and desired. Every single one of them has brought more joy and happiness in my life than I thought ever possible.

Yes, I complain, cry and sometimes want to pull my own hair out one-by-one in hopes of some relief from the total craziness, but all in all the times that are good, great, or excellent out shine the bad.

I'm sure most of you all will agree with me on some level that life is mainly a box of chocolates. SAVOR each moment with each kid. Don't cram "life" all into one moment. Spread the fun out and see the kiddies learn, grow, and have fun.

I am learning to slow down and just SAVOR each moment and I challenge all of my friends to do the same.

Jessica 1st pair of Glasses.

Doesn't she look so dang cute? I think so. I feel really bad that she has not been able to see things correctly all these years. Oh well I am on top of her condition now. Jessica will be having eye surgery July 15, 2009 to try an correct her right eye from turning outward. Even though she is almost legally blind in that eye at least her pupil will be straight when she is looking at you. Jessica is doing well and really enjoys wearing the glasses. I did not think that she would want to wear them but she is careful with them and realizes what she can now see with them is much better than without.

Jessica I am so proud of you!

50's Musical Performances at RP

My babies are growing up so fast. They learned two songs with actions and performed them in front of lots of parents and siblings. I am so happy with this school and what they are teaching my children. Music is an essential part of education that is being left out of many schools curriculum due to budget cuts. This is not the case with their school. I have no regrets putting my kids in this school. Awesome.

Hey girls I love you! You have learned so much this year.

Selling Cookies!

Selling girl scout cookies was a blast. Cookie sales happened about two months ago and I am finally getting around to posting the pictures. Girl scouts has been fun for the girls. At first I was not really into scouting because I was never a girl scout and now I can see how much they are learning. Jasmine, Jessica, and Natalie were not afraid to ask complete strangers if they wanted to buy cookies. Several people purchased cookies just because they looked so cute. Who could resist these girls faces. At the last minute the Army guys walked by and they purchased a whole case of cookies from the girls. They were so cool to let us take a picture of the girls with them. Looking forward to many more events with the girl scouts.

Way to BUSY!

I can't believe that it has been over a month sense I last posted. I have been way to busy to even think about writing my thoughts down. You might be asking what has the wheelers been up to well spring break was such a crazy mess and lasted way to long for me. We took a 3 day trip to Disneyland with the kiddos and basically had a blast until I got sick on the second day in Toon Town. Then I spent a week at my parents house in SLC. My parents 50th Wedding Anniversary was April 10th and we celebrated at a really fancy restaurant called Ruth's Chris Stake House in Park City, UT. Would highly recommend trying this place at least once for a special occasion. I worn you it is very expensive! Anyway, we had lots of fun in Utah! I then was busy studying and writing my final essays for my classes. I am so glad that in 2 years I will be finished with my BA in Elementary Education. It has been my long life dream to be a teacher. So now you know what has been going on in the life of the wheelers. I will post pictures later!
