The Highlight of My Day: January 2011


Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in January:

Sat 1/1/11: Today was our annual New Years Day party with the Harmans. We bowled, played Nerts and Uno, and Scott and Emma enjoyed playing on the Wii with Uncle Gordon. Aunt Marian is currently fostering a mother dog and a litter of puppies. I enjoyed holding the little pups. So cute!

Sun 1/2/11: My husband knows the right words to make me happy. I love him.

Mon 1/3/11: It was nice having a normal day again. Tonight for Family Home Evening we focused on The Family: A Proclamation To The World. Scott and Emma are smart kids. They gave lots of good comments.

Tue 1/4/11: Lizzy had her 18-month appointment today. She got her finger pricked and her leg shot, and she didn't cry once! What a tough girl!

Wed 1/5/11: I felt miserable and sick today, which was definitely NOT the highlight of my day. My highlight was being taken care of by my husband. He and Scott made dinner tonight. I love the men in my life!

Thu 1/6/11: The nice thing about Brad & I both being sick at the same time is that it equals to more cuddle time. I LOVE the extra cuddle time with him.

Fri 1/7/11: Friday = Pizza Night! Yum!

Sat 1/8/11: Marilyn and James brought over their keyboard to show Lizzy. We had a blast watching Lizzy push the keys and buttons. She's so cute when she dances to the music. Super cute!

Sun 1/9/11: We had a relaxing day! Scott and Emma were exhausted from the lack of sleep they got this weekend and slept for hours this afternoon. Brad and I rested, too. It was nice.

Mon 1/10/11: My baby girl loves her mama. It makes my heart so happy when she snuggles up with me, whether we're lying in bed, or sitting on the couch, or standing in the kitchen. She looks for me, calls me, and then snuggles when she finds me. So precious!

Tue 1/11/11: The four of us went to the library tonight. I brought home a bunch of new DVDs for Brad & I to watch.

Wed 1/12/11: Today I'm grateful for the wonderful relationship Brad has with his kids. He is such a good father.

Thu 1/13/11: Lizzy is pure joy to have around! Her favorite book currently is Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You by Dr. Suess. She had me read it over and over again today. She added two new words to her vocabulary, too: "foot" and "hot."

Fri 1/14/11: I think it's hilarious that Lizzy screams when Brad comes home from work. She cannot contain her excitement and joy when she sees him. She loves her papa.

Sat 1/15/11: Brad and I groomed the dog today. She looks so pretty and stylish now.

Sun 1/16/11: Lizzy got to play in Nursery for a few minutes today. She loved the balls and the baby dolls best. I think she's ready for it! She can't sit still in Relief Society any more.

Mon 1/17/11: I watched "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" while crocheting a new hat. I loved that movie as a kid.

Tue 1/18/11: Our auto-mechanic fixed our van for a great price. I runs great now!

Wed 1/19/11: Lizzy is adding new words to her vocabulary every day. I can't keep track any more! She's getting to be a big girl.

Thu 1/20/11: We went over to see Aunt Marian's foster puppies tonight. Emma fell in love with Woody, the light chocolate lab. I fell in love with Mocha, the dark chocolate lab. They are so cute!

Fri 1/21/11: Emma enjoyed performing her science fair project on her cousins tonight. I helped her put it together. After the project, we took the girls over to play with Aunt Marian's puppies. Everyone had a fun time!

Sat 1/22/11: Spending time with Brad tonight was definitely the highlight of my day. I LOVE my husband. He is my favoritest person!

Sun 1/23/11: I stayed with Lizzy in Nursery today. She's the youngest child there, but she loves to talk the most. She also has soooo much energy! I love my baby.

Mon 1/24/11: Family Home Evening turned out perfect! Our lesson was on fortifying our family. Scott and Emma built a house out of blocks for the lesson.

Tue 1/25/11: Library night and puppies again! We had a blast!

Wed 1/26/11: Emma caught me by surprise by saying she loves Tuna Helper. Why do kids love the simplest, cheapest dinners?

Thu 1/27/11: Scott finished his sewing project tonight! He made an adorable kitty out of tan plaid fabric, using pink fabric for the nose, and beads for the eyes. So cute! Lizzy loves it.

Fri 1/28/11: A wonderful evening, just Brad, Lizzy, and me! We went over to visit Marian and the puppies. The puppies are getting so big and extremely rambunctious. I sat inside in the pen with them and they practically mauled me with their little sharp teeth and claws.

Sat 1/29/11: Brad and I took Lizzy to Thanksgiving Point today. Lizzy went on her first pony ride while we were there, which she LOVED! She called the ponies "hissy," her way of saying, "horsey." She had a great time!

Sun 1/30/11: Scott and Brad needed hair cuts bad! So I cut their hair tonight (much to the displeasure of Scott). The haircuts turned out alright! I may not be the perfect barber, but I am very pleased with my developing skills.

Mon 1/31/11: Brad got a promotion at work! YAY!
