Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful

I have decided that it is time for me to change! I need to change my habits, I need to become more active! I want to become a healthier version of me. I need to stop being selfish and be a better example to my family and friends.

For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. (1Samuel 16:7)

I have had this mentality for awhile that I wanted to be happy, if that meant eating a whole cookie sheet of cookies, as long as I was happy that was fine. I would sit and watch shows like the Biggest Loser and say I need to start being healthier, then I would put it off for another day! Well that has been my life for the last 14 years, I have become very selfish and lazy in my thinking! Am I really happy, nope I am not happy. I need to find myself and come to terms with the decisions I have made and what it has done to myself, and my family! NO MORE PROCRASTINATING!!!!!

I know for myself that I truly need this, I have become a very lazy person. I have no focus, I don't do the things that I used to do. I need to find myself again. I need to come to terms with my child self and my adult self. I need to move on and become the queen that my Father in Heaven wants me to be. I need to remember that I am a Child of God, what other people think doesn't matter and I have to potential for greatness. I hope that I can inspire you to become healthier and happier, I hope that I can make you all proud of me! But first off I want to be proud of myself. I want to be able to "Run and not be Weary and Walk and not be Faint."

So a group of friends and I are embarking on a quest together, to becoming our own kind of beautiful. One that will make us healthier and happier! If any of you would like to join us you are very welcome to, just call me and let me know! I would love to have lots of people that I have to answer to about my goal. That way I know that I am not alone in my quest!

Mom Sayings

Basically this sums up my day in a nutshell!!! For all you mom out there you will love this!! You have to pause the music at the bottom before you play this clip!

Another Update!

Those that know us know that Prince Charming is in the process of finding a job, he has had several interview lately. We are waiting to hear from a few of those. There is one that we are really hoping comes through, but we will take about anything. Right now he is working for a place in Centerville but that is just temp work. We just keep waiting and praying that something comes through soon.
With Prince Charming being home so much, he has been able to spend some of his time with Little Prince. Since he started back to work Little Prince has been a little mad at his Daddy. Little Prince has had a hard time with swinging, but we caught him trying to get in the swing by himself and now he loves it, as you can see by his smile.

The week after Mother's Day we went to my parents. We went to the Parade and the Scandanavian Festival that Saturday. We also helped them get some stuff done in their yard. They are moving a trailer out of their backyard that my second mom lived in while she had cancer. We miss her so much, its kind of hard seeing it go, but its time to let it go. Below are pictures from the Parade, this was Little Prince's first Parade. He had lots of fun, and got loads of candy.

Here are a few pictures of some deer we saw while down at my parents. Prince Charming loves to go on little drives on dirt roads down there, just to see where they lead. I love it also.

Little Prince idolizes his big brother, Prince C sometimes is not sure how to take it. You know teenagers. But Prince C has been going on overnight backpacking trips with his troop. He packs his backpack and Little Prince had to copy him. He grabbed big brothers school backpack and filled it with his stuffed animals and some snacks (Pepperidge Farms goldfish, and curious george fruit snacks and oreo cookies), then asked Mom to roll up his blankie and attach it to the pack. Big brother to get ready to go changed into his Scout shirt, well he then decides that his shirt won't work anymore, strips it off and runs to his closet and pulls down this shirt and then tells Mom that he needs badges and a flag on it just like brothers. Prince C was so cute with him. I know that Little Prince can get on his nerves, but he just loves his big brother so much. Then when Prince C left, Little Prince burst into tears, he so much wanted to go camping. Prince Charming calms him down by setting up the tent and camping out in the backyard with him.

His shirt reads Toddler Scouts of America over the front right pocket- on the left shoulder it reads Little Trapper Trails Council- Little Scout Troop 196 then on the other shoulder is his flag.

We have had alot of rain in Utah lately. June was a weird month weather wise. It has really stunted the growth of our veggies in the garden, and some of the flowers we have also. But with that rain we got the most breathtaking site I have seen in awhile. We went outside to see this beautiful rainbow. We have been talking alot lately about when we need to think about selling the house, not knowing when Prince Charming will find work. We are making it but don't want to get in a foreclosure state. This site makes us want to change our minds. We have a million dollar view that we take for granted. We still have a bit before we have to think about selling.

The kids have loved being out of school. I am watching my nephews, so that helps with some of the bills. Little Prince is such a water bug. We have had so much fun with the slip and slide and this sprinkler ball.

We hope you have enjoyed Our Little Family Moments. We appreciate all the support and love that all of you have shown us. We are truly blessed that we have the family and friends that we do.

From Our Royal Family to Yours
