I HATE the snow

You would think growing up in Idaho I would be missing the snow.

But  I don't. Not even a little.

I love the warmth of the sun.

The sunny park days spent with my children.

The casual clothing that goes hand in hand with warm weather.

But I will admit, when the snow is coming down hard and weighing the branches of a tree with her cool crystallized flakes....it is magical!

 I do still hate the snow,

but it is kind-of pretty!
Don't you think?

Grateful For Sunday

O.K. I know it is Tuesday but I just barely got a free second to put up my "Grateful" post from Sunday!

So here it is!

Grateful for the Book of Mormon.

The Book Of Mormon seems to bring me peace and solace when I need it most.

I am going to try harder to be more faithful with my reading!

This DOG!

I love our Max-i-boo-boo

He really is the best dog and I couldn't imagine not hearing his howling.

Time

Grateful for the time I have to be on this earth and TRY to better myself.

Time in every day to be surronded by my family.

Time I have to be a mom!

Time to be happy!

LIGHT!

Grateful for lamplight.

Candlelight.

Outside light.

The Light of the gospel!

What are you Grateful for?

Kenny Poo

This girl is definitely one of a kind!

She is spoiled, I will admit it!

She is sweet!

She is super sassy!

And she has the BEST imagination ever!

She likes to play "Sing Talk".

This is a game she made up where you can only sing your conversation.

So almost every day we "Sing Talk" to each other.

Another fun thing about Kenny is that she follows me around and tells me all kinds of stories.

Always about girls with lots of beautiful dresses and shoes. hmmmmm.....sounds like her!

Here are some movies of her telling her story!

LOVE THIS GIRL TO DEATH!

Especially Grateful For

Every Sunday I am going to start posting pictures of what I am GRATEFUL for.

This Sunday I am GRATEFUL for .........

This fury man

He is so good to me!

This sassy girl

She keeps me on my toes and keeps me smiling.

This handsome boy

He keeps me laughing with his witty sense of humor!

This beautiful daughter

She reminds me every day of the rewards of being a mother!

This messy face

He snuggles me everday and makes me feel loved!

I am GRATEFUL for these five beautiful people who get to be part of my life everyday!

My life is richly blessed because they are mine!

What are you GRATEFUL for?

List Queen

I am  a list Queen.

I will readily admit that I make lists every night and throughout the day!

I love the look of a handwritten list.

I love the feel of accomplishment !

I love to push myself and see how much I can accomplish in one day!

Since baby number four, the pushing has gotten me much farther than the couch.

But I am motivated to do better this year!

And get moving!

I am not a scarp-booker by any means.

I use to love it, but since, have found other hobbies I love more!

But I love taking notes.

I love jotting things down.

As part of the New Year I want to stay more organized and really study harder and better. So I made myself these!

A Primary notebook to keep notes and stay better organized!

An Old testament book to study the manual.
Although I love Primary,  I miss the Sunday School and Relief Society. But this year I am going to study the lessons even though I am not there!

I have my yearly goals.

But I also have monthly "mini" goals to! Things to work on and keep me going forward!

So I thought I book to also reflect and right down ideas and progress might help!

And of course my every day TO DO list!

What would I do without those?

Now hopefully I can be a little more organized and get a little more done!

Oh I just love the New Year, don't you?

I am super excited to get back to Photography. It was nice to take a month off....but I am READY to get back to work and share some new ideas!

Going Private

Hooray!

We are now a private family blog.

We decided for several reasons that going private was the best decision  for our family!

We have several invisible trackers and after realizing a few different unknown people were taking pictures from our site, we decided that it was better "safe than sorry."

I have also made this decision based on personal feelings. I often feel prompted to write about certain things but have hesitated in not knowing who, for sure, was reading our blog. So hopefully I can express myself a little more freely!

Also,  I know it is a pain to check PRIVATE blogs.

It is hard to remember and I tend to forget sometimes too.

So occasionally I will send out an email reminder and I also set this blog up for you to replace in your side bar list. It is http://www.bunnellsupdates.blogspot.com. If you add this email address to your sidebar..I will post a link to our private blog so you know when we have updated every time. My friend does this and it has really helped so I know when she has updated. So I thought we would do that also!

Hopefully I will get a real post up here soon, but for now....

Happy DAY!!!
