Predictable

Adj. 1. predictable - capable of being foretold
adjective likely, expected, sure, certain, anticipated, reliable, foreseen, on the cards, foreseeable, sure-fire (informal), calculable

I was told today that I am . . . just that . . . PREDICTABLE!! While being told this, it was used in reference to being a good thing and a bad thing. I guess in truth being predictable is a good and bad thing. It is a good thing because it shows continuity . . . but, it is a bad thing because nothing one does is ever a surprise or ever unknown. To be honest, I am not sure how I feel about being predictable. Funny how one little word can throw a kink in how your feeling!! And right now, I am not sure how I feel about being predictable . . . the good or the bad of it!

"Sisters, wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love."
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I do not feel forgotten, but my days do seem dark, and I feel extremely overshadowed. Thankfully I have two smiling little girls that aide me in getting up and going with a smile on my face. They bring HOPE to me when my life keeps feeling impossible. I keep thinking as soon as I get thru this impossible situation, I will have a time of rest and will have just happiness for a while. I must be a really slow learner.

Wanna Play . . . but I am sooooo TIRED!

Had Kaelani in the swing while I finished off my hair . . . in the matter of moments, playful little Kaelani grasping at the fish turned to this . . . .

It is just ROUGH being a baby, wanting to play but being exhausted . . . .

Mini Vacations

on Friday, we got to go with some friends to spend the night at the Marriott Resort in Scottsdale. It was lots of fun as always. We didn't get off to the resort till 7 p.m. So, we had a rather relaxed evening. The kids stayed up very late watching movies, and we thought for sure we would have them sleep in! Kaelani woke up at 5 a.m. to nurse and decided to remain awake and talk. I tried to convince her it was time to sleep . . . however, couldn't help but giggled softly over her cute grunts, squawks, and coos! Soon, Kaiya came in the bedroom to tell me "You woke me up!" That followed with two other kids being woken up. Before we knew it, everyone was awake, except Kaelani and I! Heee heee, we fell back asleep.

After the breakfast of champions . . . donuts for Kaiya and I had a left over pizza slice and ice cream, we packed up and headed to the pool for the day! Kaelani and I hung out on the side with our friends. Most of the kids except the two youngest swam. Before going home, I got brave enough to go for a swim with Kaelani. Kaelani loved floating in the water of the Lazy River, and Kaiya loved having "sissy" there by her side!

Here are a few cute pictures of the day!!

She loved tummy time, watching all the swimmer float past!
