Attitude of Gratitude

So I have been pondering Meggie's post from Elder Eyring about seeing the hand of the Lord in our lives and being grateful for the blessings that we have. In that vein I have decided to write little bit of that here on the blog since it is my main form of journalling.

On the last post I showed off our new little bird bath and truthfully when I bought it I thought this is purely decorative and will not get used at all. To my surprise on my way home from work last week I noticed a bird on the edge of the bird bath and as simple as it sounds it made me so happy. I guess it was a stop and smell the roses moment when I realized how grateful I was to have a lovely yard to enjoy the birds and the warmer seasons of the year.

Here Little Birdies

It used to be empty and now its filled. We decided to go with a birth bath and a bird feeder.

I love the little froggie and hopefully he doesn't scare the birds.

Hooray one corner of the yard can move from the "finish it" list to the "maintain it" list.

Melissa's Graduation

Layton High with pride we sing thy name. Ahh the only school song that sounds like a death march. Melissa is the one going to her seat on stage, I know you can't hardly tell, but she was in the choir.
This is everyone switching their tassel's over.

My two sisters.

The parents and Melissa.

The parents, Melissa, and Grandma Sheffield.

Melissa, me and Matt. I love a good June graduation. Congratulations Melissa! Now she is off to Utah State in the fall.
