I'm a theif

As a teacher I was great at stealing other teachers great ideas. As a scrapbooker I scraplift all the time. Now it appears that even as a blog stalker I'm a thief.

My old friend, she is not old we have just known each other for a long time, has a great blog. Every Sunday she posts "Sunday Smiles". In her post she recaps all the things that made her smile that week. I love how positive and upbeat she is about her life. He "Sunday Smiles" post has inspired me to do something similar. So as not to copy her completely I will call my posts "Happy Happenings". Shel I hope you are not offended by my thievery. Remember imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Now I don't know if LeShel has to write her smiles down as the week progresses or if she just has a great memory, but I had to make a list. This week was especially great so it might be a bit longer than future posts.

This weeks HAPPY HAPPENINGS:

I was so happy on Monday when after 2 days of cold showers I was finally able to take a HOT shower.

I laughed so hard I almost woke Neal up...When I came into bed on Monday night I must have startled Neal almost awake. However, I knew he was still asleep when he asked me to "tell the nightstand to stop moving". I waited a second and then told the nightstand to stop moving. He than asked "where is the nightstand". I said I didn't know and asked him where it was. His response "It disappeared". He often says incoherent things in when I come to bed, but this one was clear and I actually remembered it.

How lucky and blessed I was this week to go up to girls camp from Tue-Thur

Opening my car door and smelling the wonderful scent of the mountains made me smile!

Who couldn't help but be happy to lay on their airbed and have view like this out the tent.

I couldn't help but laugh when I young woman from the camp across the road yelled "we all have butt cracks!"

Pancakes for breakfast! I never make pancakes but I love them. It was quite a treat to have the stake cooks make us pancakes.

I love the sound of the wind through the trees. It is such a peaceful sound. Except at night when your trying to sleep.

I smiled & sighed with relief when I opened the garage on Thursday and there was nothing in my parking spot. I hate parking outside, it is way too hot!

Thursday afternoon when I got home I was very happy to take a shower and use a toilet that flushes.

It makes me happy to see KC & Lillee play together. It is very funny when KC decides to be possessive about a certain toy. I think he does it on purpose. One of these days I will have to get it on video.

Lille & KC played tug a war with a stuffed bone. We tried and tried to get JJ & KC to do this. So it made me happy that Lil & KC did this without prompting. I need a video of this too.

It made me very happy to go back up to the mountains on Friday for the testimony meeting.

I was quite happy to see the girls again. Although it was nice to be home to shower and sleep in my bed all the time I kept wondering what the girls were doing. It was great to see their dirty faces.

Mountain Shadows ward ROCKS!

How happy I was to yet again smell the wonderful smell of the mountains.

I loved hearing the testimonies of the young woman in our ward. They are great examples to me.

I was oh so very happy to realize last night that Lillee made it though and entire day without pooping or peeing in the house :-) :-) :-) Hopefully this will be the beginning of many many many.....more days of this.

I hope your week is full of Happy Happenings
