"Disgustortillas"

Theres a new restaurant at the Ames house.

*warning* the chefs are three smelly 8 year olds (grubby nails and all). 

Its called "Disgustortillas". mmmmm...

All it took was some random ingredients in a cupcake pan and a few stale tortillas.

 I mistakenly thought this would keep them busy for a while today after school...

they were done in less than 5 minutes. for real. FIVE.

boys. (sigh)

at least they helped clean up :)

Perspective

I've gained a lot. My sweet friend Julie lost everything in an hour. While she read a book. Her sweet husband and baby boy were gone for now, but not forever. 

This life we are in can at times just take my breath away with its sadness. I love my children and husband so much and I can't even begin to fathom the loss she feels. But I take them for granted every day and I let a million things keep me from reaching my potential as a woman, a mother and a wife. I have been brought to my knees as I have pleaded for understanding and faith. What I have gained is a new perspective on my life. A new appreciation for the gospel I am so blessed to be a part of. A new faith in the plan I have been taught. A new love for my everyday blessings. A new spirit of faith and a love for my Savior and His atonement. It is the reason to go on, and the strength to do it. 

We only truly believe what we live each day. So everyday I will live more fully what I believe. Love and appreciation for each moment, each kiss, each cuddle, each laugh and and everything that comes in between it all.
