After taking a week off (wish I could say it was fun, but being so sick that my RS Pres. was concerned, and had my VT bring in meals was hardly a vaca) I have had time to reflect on the important things in life. And it has caused me to relfect, and count my many blessings so to speak. I have a family that means more to me than I can tell you. Watching my children play out in the yard today, and with all the media attention down in Texas, I had a great appreciation for what I have. My children are happy and healthy, and I have a husband is so devoted to us. He would do anything for us, and I am reminded daily, how truly lucky I am.
Chandler, my eldest, is such a blessing. He has done so much growing since he started school. He will be switching schools next year, moving to the 3-5 grade Knik Elementry next door to his K-2 right now. His Aspergers has not detered him as much as we had feared it would. We have learned to deal with it, and use a lot of the traits to Chandler's advantage. He has an amazing ability to remember details. And he has a myriad of interest to capture his attention. Obviously he loves Pokemon. But he also enjoys soccer, track/field, and just playing outside with his friends, and his dog Bear. Chandler is such a compassionate kid. And since his baptism in December, as gained such a sweet testimony of the gospel. His speech teacher has told me of several incidents, where Chandler has insisted that the speech group say a prayer over their snack. We love him, and are very grateful for all that he brings to the mix. 
Gabe is my happy kid. He's always got a smile. He loves to draw, and is quite talented at it. He can copy almost anything, and he pays great attention to detail. Gabe loves school, and being a volunteer in his classroom has been especially fun for me, to see how he interacts with his classmates. Gabe is a total lady's man. He's in a class that has only 5 boys, and about 20 girls. About 10-15 of which have crushes on Gabe. He loves to quote movies, and goes in and out of British and Scottish accents all the time. He's a joy in our home, and the perfect middle child. 
Morgan is my little princess. She loves playing with her brothers. If they're on the trampoline, than she is, if they're downstairs playing with Pokemon, than she wants to too. She also loves all things girly. Fingernail polish, dresses, she recently got her ears pierced, so jewelry is also one of her favs. She's bossy, stubborn, and sassy. But she can also be the sweetest thing the next moment. We love our little princess, and are so glad she's part of our family.
