Freestone's Party!





Ruby, Ari and I all had our 8th birthdays at the Lion House. I think it was my favorite Birthday party ever! I want to work there when I'm older, way older:). It is in Brigham Young's past house. The hostess tells pioneer stories; how the house came to be and other fun stuff. Did you know he had 56 kids?! No wonder the house is so big. We played Button, Button Who Has The Button? And ate little sandwiches, lemonade, pretzels and carrots and cake and ice cream of course! I love the cake, it is so yummy. The chef hides 1 gum ball in the cake and whoever finds it in their slice of cake gets a whole year of good luck! This time Tanner got it. Henry, Chase, Tanner, Jake, Ari, Ruby, mom, dad, me, Jackson and Collin and obviously Freestone came. The boys got to wear coonskin hats with real raccoon tails and the girls wore pioneer bonnets. Free got some cool gifts and he loved being the leader where ever we went. The boys had lots of fun, especially when we got to pull taffy! They all went home with a little bag of their taffy, a gingerbread/sugar cookie and a lion house bib. Brigham Young wore a bib type thing over his beard because he had a dream he was in such a hurry one morning, he gave a whole talk at church with crumbs in his beard, and the whole congregation was laughing. The boys thought that was pretty funny. Happy Birthday Free! Love ya!

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family! My lovely grandparents The newlyweds invited us and their friends to see the lights at Temple Square, then enjoy some pie and hot cocoa at their adorable apartment, conveniently located right by the temple. Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)
The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
