I am a very blessed person. I have two beautiful children, a wonderful husband, and wonderful extended family. We live in a great ward, I LOVE Arizona, and our day to day comings and goings are worth documenting! So here I go. Here is a post with some of the "usual" goings on that make up my beautiful life.
Nightly scripture reading. We always sing the chorus of "Scripture Power" to get the boys gathered. I love this part of my day!
Car washes. I will never pay for one (at least not in the spring, summer or fall). We have WAY too much fun washing the car on our own.
Playing with Austyn. My niece and sister-in-law live with us. Ethan, Austyn and Cameron have a great time together. Of course, they have their moments, but all in all, they have so much fun.
Another part of our weekly life is going to Wal-Mart and price matching all of our produce. I love doing this! Jared went this week and got all of this for $30. 8 Roma tomatoes, 4 onions, 4 pineapples, 1 head of Romane lettuce, 6 lbs of strawberries, 4 bunches of bananas, a case of cutie oranges, 8 oranges, 6 bell peppers, 4 lemons and 2 limes. If you don't price match, and you live in the valley, you should!!!! We love it even more than Bountiful Baskets.
"Bike rides" and playing at the park. We have had beautiful weather all month! I have loved it and have tried to spend as much time outside as possible. We go to the park as often as we can. There is nothing better than being outside with my kids and a good book! (Except maybe a date night with my husband.)
In summary, I am opening my eyes to what I do have and am trying to forget what I don't have. I ran across this quote today and it is perfect!
"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things."
-Henry Ward Beecher

I loved this post Marcie. It's fun to see some of the little things that make you happy. Great idea with the clock! Also, you probably updated this a long time ago, but your blog design is really nice. I should take the time to update mine.
