Those precious moments...

We watched the Bucket List last night...it was so good and really made you think of what's important in life. I sobbed of course...I think Rick did too, even though he would never admit it. So what is important in life...is it the big things? Like sailing the seven seas, riding a motorcycle on the wall of China, sitting on top of one of the pyramids in Egypt, visit Taj Majhal (sp?) or is it sitting next to Dylan as he read a book, Isabella asking Rick to say a prayer at night because she had a bad dream or the smile and hug Dylan and Isabella gives me when they comes home from school (most of the time). My thoughts were wandering last night of all the things I am grateful for. There is so much.

The first thing that came to my mind was Monday night. We had Family Home Evening and we talked about our road map in life. How do we find our way back to Heavenly Father. I'm always amazed how much Dylan knows. We talked about the tools we have i.e. the scriptures, prayers and so on. After we went outside and played hide and go seek in the dark. It was so much fun. Isabella and I played together (here is one of those moments I hope never to forget) She would hold on to my jacket the whole time, desperately, she knew that I would not scare her (she also knew that Pappa and Dylan would! :) When it was our turn to hide we hid on the back of the truck. I thought it was the best spot, no way that Rick could see us there. Well, he didn't need to see us...he could hear us! Isabella kept moving and "tooting" that I could not keep from laughing. We just laid there on the cold floor of the truck bed, laughing and snuggling. All you really could see was our breath. Obviously it didn't take Rick very long to find us. I love my life. I really do. There are ups and downs, but I am alive. I have two beautiful children and a husband who loves me. What more could I ask for...
