I feel that many of posts have been a bit negative about parenting and such, so I thought I would do a post about all of the things that I LOVE and appreciate!

That's a great list! I love to do a thankful or positive list every month on my blog to help me remember the things that are great in my life. I have a pretty darn good life, but somedays I need a reminder of how blessed I am. :) Thanks for the positive post!

I think I could add "dido" on everyone one of those except Lyndie doesn't talk or play much yet and I'm not much for ballroom dancing. Only because I don't know how, I bet I would love it if I learned.

I think this is a great idea! I will have to remember it the next time I am feeling negative about life!

Great post! I used to write 3 things I am grateful for in my journal every night and I need to get back into that habit. It's amazing how a positive attitude makes life better. June would be great - a good time for a pedicure with the warm weather too! I was thinking the same thing about getting a neighbor girl to babysit during the day when school is out. And I'm sorry to hear about your parents. If you ever need to talk about it, I'm here for you.

In response to your comment on my blog, Disneyland is so much fun! We love it. We have gone to Disneyland almost every year since we were engaged, including our honeymoon! For a more economical way to visit this last time, we shared a 6 day park hopper pass with some friends who needed the same passes as us (2 adults and 2 children) and it was half the price of what we would have paid for a 2 day park hopper! We went for 2 days and then they went for 4 days. You should go before your kids turn 3 and need passes. You can look in the classifieds on ksl.com too.
