Day 5: Something I hope to do

Now this one is a little easier for me to answer. There are a lot of things that I would like to do. I would like to go camping with my two boys at Yellowstone National park. I would Like to visit Scotland and Wales. I would Like to serve another mission this time with my Hubby. I want to take a family vacation to Hawaii! I would like to be the best mommy I can possibly be so that my boys are happy andsecure when they grow up and start families of their own. I would like to take a road trip across america visiting all the national historic sites along the way. I would like to meet Thomas S Monson and Henry B Eyring and Dieter Uctdorf.
These are just some of the things that I would like to do.

Day 4: Something I have to forgive someone for

THis is a tough one. I know that forgivness is for ourselves as much as it is for the other person. I am grateful that we have the opportunity to forgive people. But I asl know that we have a responsibilty to take care of ourselves. Just becasue we forgive someone does not mean that we have to stay in a situation where we will continue to get hurt. You can forgive someone without having to trust them again. For example if one is in an abusive relationship be it emotional physical or what ever you can get out of the situation and still forgive the person who truly hurt you. I had a friend in High School who really used me and was not very nice to me. I realize now that she had issues that she liked to take out on me. It has taken me several years but I have forgiven her. I do not have hang out with her anymore or put myself in situation where she can use me again but I realize that she was just living her life the only way she knew how. But hI have forgiven her and got on with my life.

Day 3: Something I have to forgive myself

there are a lot of things that I have to forgive myself for but I think that the one I will talk about is being judgmental. I have a habit of making lighting quick judgments before I really know the rest of the story. I need to work very hard on not judging other people but what I see going on in their life becasue I really do not have the full story. I have had people do that to me and it hurts. I need to realize that I am not perfect so I canot expect others to be perfect either. Becasue I am not perfect I make mistakes such as judging others and I need to forgive myself and work on not making lighting quick judgments.

Day 2: What I love about myself

This seems to be kinda egocentric and I do not like being egocentric. But Lets see what I can come up with. I love that I have a talent playing the Piano! I love being able to sit at the piano and make music come out of the keys. I love that i am a mom.
Being a mom has brought me such joy. It also comes with a lot of frustration but being with my two boys is worth all the heartache as well as all the joy. I love my ability to be able to read. It is nice to have a hobby that will take me into my imagination and let me relax for a little while before retuning to the real world.

I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I know that becasue of him I can and will overcome my weaknesses which are many. I am grateful that I am part of a family who loves me for who I am. That is about all that i can come up with today. so till tomorrow Ciao!

Day 1 of 30 days of Truth.

I saw this on my sister in laws Blog and thought it was a fun idea. Lets see if I can be diligent about doing it.
So here is Day 1 Something I hate about myself

This was hard. I really had to think about it. I am not sure that there is anything that I really hate about myself except maybe my lack of motivation it excecise. I Do fine for a week or so then I just lose the motivation. But being a mother of two active little boys keeps me going even if I am not doing a daily routine. I try to be really positve about myself so it is hard to say what I really hate about myself. I try not to feel that emotion. SO i guess in the end I just hate my lack of motivation. Lets see what I can come up with for tomorrows blog. until Tomorrow! Ciao!

No more Crib!

My Baby has moved into a big boy bed. He has outgrown his crib. Unfortunatly now that he is in a big boy bed it is almost impossible to get him to take naps now. But on the bright side he goes to bed earlier. It is had to believe that Alex is Two already. Both he and Benjamin are keeping me on my toes these days. They like it when I wear dresses and skirts because the try to pull me alround the house by my skirt. It is kind of funny until they start fighting over me. Both of them are momas boys and they do not like sharing me with each other. I cannot believe that it is October already. I am done with my Christmas shopping this year so now I do not haver to stress out over the season and I can avoid all the stores during the Holidays which is nice.

Wow where did the Summer GO!

This summer has flown and the Eigel Cru has been really busy. We went to the Zoo and the boys loved the animals. Then in June the boys and I went down to California to Visit my sister and her kids. I actually got to see a lot of people even though someone is was supposed to meet up with just totally blew me off. Then in July we went to the enchanted forest with is a fairy tale theme park. THe boys had a lot of fun seeing the fairy tale adventures. August was an interesting month. We got to say goodbye to my Brother who went into basic training. Then Alex turned two. We also went to the Oregon Steam up which has a lot of tractors, miltary vehicles and even a small model train you can ride. Benjamin really had fun riding the train. Alex did not enjoy the steam whistles too much becasue they were so loud they hurt his ears.
NOw it is September. Wow Times really has flown. On Saturday we went to the Shrewsbury renannsaince Faire. That was fun. It was fun watching the knights joust. The boys really loved the horses and seeing all the swords. It was fun looking at all the different capes and dresses that they had for sale there. I have managed to keep the family really busy this summer which is a good thing.
