Fantastic February
Instead of focusing on how sad I am that my sister and her kids are back in Hawaii, I want to focus this post on how incredibly wonderful their visit was. It was three weeks of pure Heaven, we created so many memories and strengthened our bonds with one another. Some of my favorite memories:
*Leonardo Museum with Grandpa Doug
*Reading books and having sleepovers
*Gardner Village pictures and shopping
*Making pb & j's
*Chili dinner, dice games, ping-pong, and watching Charade at Aunt Anita's
*Dance parties to Vocal Point and One Direction
*SLEDDING!!!!
*Hide N' Go Seek in the mini circus tent from Ikea
*Oh yeah, IKEA!
*K's mini singing concerts in the front room
*Playing Restaurant in the downstairs playroom
*"Naa-means??"!!
*"Totes/Toast"
*"Dross"
*Kisses and "I love you" 's
*"I missed you" 's
*The Ballet with the Grandparents
*Snow horses
*M's Makeup Mishap
*Dr. Suess
*S's Sensational Spelling Skills!
*Mustache Love
*S & K's pictures, notes and Valentines.
*Asian City!
*Singing "I love to see the Temple" each time we passed a temple.
*M's breathtaking smiles and hilarious gestures
*Visiting with Grandpa LaVer in the Care center, and playing hide and go seek in the cabinet
*Even Wal-Mart is fun with these kids
*Last, but definitely most precious: Run n' Hugs :)
My sister Aleisha took the majority of these pictures. You can follow her photography blog at http://babyblueyes89.blogspot.com/, other pictures were taken by my sisters Melissa and Makayla.
Until we can be together again, skype calls and letters will just have to do. I love you with every piece of my heart.

Expectations are the root of dissatisfaction
So, I had this ephiphany this week. I was wondering: Why do different people respond to dissapointing circumstances, let downs and unexpected inconveniences so differently? What causes people to lose their temper when something crappy happens? I've decided, it's all how you look at the situation. Here's a checklist on how to know in what ways you can lower your own expectations and set yourself up for success.
How much do you expect from yourself and others?
Do you set yourself up for dissapointment with too high of expectations?
Do you decide in advance that if your entire day's plans fall apart, that you're still going to decide to enjoy your day?
Do you accept that you can't really rely on anyone in your life expect maybe your own flesh and blood, and sometimes even not them?
Do you show sincere to your friends, family, teachers, and most of all-Heavenly Father for every blessing, tender mercy, and thing that DOESN'T fall apart in your life?
