TIME OUT IS WORKING?
I walk passed Isaac who is in time out for being unkind to his friend Justin who was over. He had his face in the corner, his head in his hands and these were his words..." Heavenly Father, grateful I won't yell at my mom...grateful I'll be Justin's friend...grateful I won't push and hit. Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
I just about died! Is that sweet or what? Now if it would just sink in and stick!

HALLOWEEN IS HERE AGAIN!
I have to say each year it get's more fun as Isaac get's older and understands more. We stayed up late together Tuedsay night just he and I carving our pumpkins. We sang "Boo, boo, boo, boo, I'm a witch to scare you. I fly around on Halloween night, boo, boo, boo! Isaac saying the whole time with a smile in his voice, "Mom I am so excited to see this. I can't wait to light the candle!" I love Halloween!!!!!
PETER PAN!
THE LOST BOY!
Isaac's cousin Ethan was Captain Hook so we had to get some pics!
Easton was totally cheesin' it on the way to trunk or treat so I snapped it from my seat!
You can't really see them but Isaac helped me carve these. The one on the left is 3 ghosts and the one on the right is a cat under the moon.

REFLECTION.
I have been thinking alot lately.......dangerous I know. But, I feel so blessed and happy it is overwhelming. My life has done a 180 in the last year. Good health really is everything. I am so grateful for my mental health. When I was going through depression, I felt there was never going to be anything else. I forgot how it was to be Lisa and feel good and happy. And because I went through that...I am more grateful than ever for everyday with my sweet boys and my kind husband. I recognize that at any moment it could change. I just hope that I have been sufficiently humbled and am sufficiently grateful for what I have now. I will never again judge any one for any kind of depression or mental health problems. It is so real and I hope that any one could come to me if they had a problem. Because I understand how it feels.
Also, I think I need to live in CA. I hate summer! I think I was partly depressed because it is so bloody hot!!!! I hate being trapped in the house. I want to be outside and so do my boys! I love fall! I love this weather!!!! Heavenly!!!!!!!
I also have been thinking alot about motherhood.......the in's and out's....the daliy routine of it all. And there is something refining and heavenly about giving yourself 24/7 to others. I have recently read the book " These is my words" and recomend it. It made me see my role as a women and wife and mother more clearly. It is hard and it is long, but the rewards are not of this world and if we see it as a job that is truly fulfilling everyday when the house is quiet and our kids are asleep and we think back on the busy, fun day......I think it helps me to truly enjoy and marvel what it is to be a mother in zion (as my roomate used to say). Let us stand firm and immoveable in our resolve to serve, love nurture, give and provide reliefe. Love to all.

BUSY LIFE!!!!
So, just when I think my life can't be any busier it is. I have been doing hair every spare second. As soon as the kids are down for naps and then even at bed time I am doing someone's hair. Don't get me wrong I am grateful for the business, but I am exhausted, because I dont' get that down time at night and during naps to blog(for example) or read or watch something or to just think or make a phone call. So , I am trying to catch up with some pictures. Most of them are from before our trip to AZ in August. Neighbor kids face painting Isaac and first time tie for Easton. I love these amazing boys! Easton now says "hieee" and "woof woof " and "Isy" for Isaac and "dog" and "baba" for sippy cup. He dances around and show's off. And my favorite time of the whole day is when he first wakes up because he will lay on my chest for atleast 30 min and snuggle and let me rub his back! I LIVE for these moments! Love to all!
