There are so many things I just absolutely completely and totally love about life right now.  I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for so many blessings.

• I love how Seth screams "Mama!" when I walk in, then has to run and tell everyone else that I am home, then he holds my face in his hands and puts his little face right in front of mine and jumps up and down on my lap. 
• I love how Annie does cartwheels, round-offs and walkovers all the time and I love her tight little leg muscles
• Mckay's jokes about "your face" and "your Momma's face", and how he makes everything fun.
• I love Annie, Miss hairband of the year, usually sporting several elastics in all kinds of interesting places.
• I love how conscientious Spencer is about being prepared and getting his planner signed, homework done, all things in order in his quiet way
• I love picking up my sweet 15 year old boy from middle school and finding him sitting outside with his hoody ACTUALLY ON HIS HEAD, he seemed to have skipped that searing social conscience usally so all-consuming in the middle school years.
• I love Coy's smile when he shares a good comic with us, which is all the time.
• I adore how Coy won't put his glasses on until he reads his scriptures, even if all of us are waiting for him in the car...
• I love Joseph's Joseph only perspective on life.  He is a one of a kind.
• I love how Coy goes straight to the books everytime we go to Wal-mart. 
• I love how Spen and Mooks play football even if it's 14 degress outside, in shorts. ( I only kind of love that.)
• I love how Annie's pink backpack Grandma Jello bought her goes up over her ears because she is so tiny.  She looks like a backpack with legs when she gets on the bus.
• I absolutely love to death Seth's giggle. ( I just need to remember to giggle when he covers himself up head to toe in hemorrhoid cream and fills the toilet with toys).
• I love how Mckay gets himself up so early, loves school, and makes the best of things.
• I love seeing Joseph's brain work in homeschool. When he started math was his favorite, but now he thinks he may be a writer when he grows up.  He's doing some great writing in home school.
• I love Annie's construction paper countdown to Christmas hanging on the kitchen light.
• I love the closed door conversations of Christmas, and how my kids open thier hearts and wallets to do something special for each other, it is so precious to me.
• I love hearing my children say thanks to Heavenly Father for being there for us, always.
• I love Spen's quiet humble way. He's asking for a pencil sharpener for Christmas.
• I love how Seth turns on the microphone and sings.
• I love Mckay's constant pleadings, reasonings, bargainings, and animated hopes for a cell phone (most of the time).
• I love Annie's layered, mismatched clothes.  It takes me longer to get her ready than a herd of boys with the swine flu.
• I love my boys in their scout shirts, but even more when they come down the stairs in their suits on Sundays, oh my heart.
• I love how we ask Seth where his kisses are and he puckers up.
• Not quite so cute but a good runner up is when he drops his stinky diaper after stripping down to it anywhere in the house and runs around free as a stinky little bird.
• I love how Annie makes her sounds and tries so hard to put her words together.  Seeing a child learn to read is one of the most amazing things to me.
• I love how Seth jumps up and down like a pogo stick just full of the joy of life.
• I love how Seth is so into DADA, he has to show him everything. Seth also has a phone answering voice that is so funny and fake  "Hi!"
• I love how Annie loves arts.
• I love Coy's high standards with all kinds of media and video games.
• I love my husband so much, I love his courage starting this business, his patience with his own health challenges, and how he looks so much at the positive side of everything.
• I love it when my kids sing around the house
• I love how Seth says "yet" instead of yes.
• I love it when the kids say "Nooooooo two more pages" when I try to stop reading at night.
• I love being able to put a meal in front of my family, and that lately with all that has gone on the gratitude in even the youngest is more sincere and heartfelt....
• I love how Heavenly Father has comforted our souls and given us so many countless blessings.
• I love that the Savior has given us the infinite gift of resurrection and the possibility of eternal life with our families.
• I love how when we pray, I know our Heavenly Father hears, answers, loves and cares.
