God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe.

It is July already – my birthday month – can’t believe it! Time flies by so fast these days. My goal for the children is to get a schedule that is workable for getting things done – chores, fun time, etc so the house stays picked up and doesn’t look like a tornado is going through it. I am going to have Kierstyn be a “trainer” so she can help train the younger ones to do some things. Hopefully this will help them learn more as opposed to fighting me about it. :) Make it more fun or something! I also want some time in there that we (even though Dad will be at work) can play games together. I have really great memories of playing games (board games) with family and my friends around the neighborhood. Good times!
Another thing I am working on this week is the food prep and final clean for Cori’s (my niece) Missionary Shower. She is leaving for the MTC on August 1st to the same mission I went to 22 years ago!! The Indiana Indianapolis Mission – Greatest Mission with the Greatest People on earth! :) Seriously – she will LOVE it!! I know that I did. Anyway, I am having a missionary shower for her so it can help her get the things that she needs! :) So excited for her!! She is going to be an AMAZING Missionary! Truly – she is a remarkable person. We went through the Temple on Saturday with her. AMAZING!! The Spirit was so strong. It was an incredible experience. She is awesome and I heart her!!
My birthday is on Wednesday – the 4th of July. YAY!! I am having my Party with the extended family on Tuesday and keeping things simple on Wednesday. I want to play cards with my parentitos and my sister and just hang out and be relaxed. I am going to make baby rack ribs in the crock pot with corn on the cob and potatoes. YUMMY!! I am also going to make a Strawberry Shortcake Trifle. DEEEELicious!! :) Can’t wait! My Niece Cori is making my birthday cake for the family party. Fun times!!
My goal this month is to have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE and to really work on strengthening my relationships with each of my children! This feels really important to me right now. Top Priority!!
Make it a great one!!
