Diabetes Clubhouse

Landon spent the last two days attending a day camp called Diabetes Clubhouse. It is for kids ages 4-7 with diabetes. He of course had a blast! He went last year for the first time and I went with him as a volunteer. This year he went solo, and I didn't have to worry a bit because I knew how well they take care of the kids and how many doctors and nurses that are there. The first day as I was leaving from dropping Landon off, Fox 13 news van and Big Budah's car pulled in. Anyway they did a story that aired the same day and Landon is shown 3 times! Here is the link that will take you to the video footage. Enjoy and keep your eye out for Landon!

KIDS WITH DIABETES: Camp offered to help and educate kids with Diabetes - KSTU

Thank You God!

A friend of mine mentioned this poem on Sunday in sacrament meeting and it really touched me. So I looked it up on the internet so I could read the whole thing. I wanted to share it with you :)

Thank you God

Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes; we have plenty of food to eat. Thank you for this pile of dirty, stinky laundry; we have plenty of nice clothes to wear. And I would like to thank you, Lord, for those unmade beds; they were so warm and comfortable last night. I know that many have no bed. My thanks to you, Lord, for this bathroom, complete with all the splattered mirrors, soggy, grimy towels and dirty lavatory; they are so convenient. Thank you for this finger-smudged refrigerator that needs defrosting so badly; It has served us faithfully for many years. It is full of cold drinks and enough leftovers for two or three meals. Thank you, Lord, for this oven that absolutely must be cleaned today. It has baked so many things over the years. The whole family is grateful for that tall grass that needs mowing, the lawn that needs raking; we all enjoy the yard. Thank you, Lord, even for that slamming screen door. My kids are healthy and able to run and play. Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me says You have richly blessed my family. I shall do them cheerfully and I shall do them gratefully.
