July 19, 2008 - Popcorn Time



We have been so busy with new callings at church and life in general, but I wanted to remember this moment. We have had a family movie with popcorn in the family room once before, and today we popped some popcorn to gear up for Beauty and the Beast, and Jack immediately ran into the family room and sat indian style in front of the couch and waited for the movie to start. Once we were all ready for the movie to start, he began shoving loads of popcorn into his chubby face until the bowl was empty. He wanted to eat the seeds too, but we managed to hide the bowl before he got too many.


The times we spend together are so important, even if there is no big activity involved. The kids are so happy to just chill at home with Daddy and of course, Mommy and eat popcorn and watch movies or just play or wrestle in the game room for hours. We are lucky to have time to spend together still even with Kyle being busy at work.

Life is hard, the kids aren't perfect and Kyle is gone ALL day long, but if I sit and really think about what I have, I think I have it amazingly good and that this family is as good as they come. On the super rough days, I need to remember this and hopefully hold my tongue until the hard times end, because they always do.
