Life's Simple Treasures




Hi, my name is Anna and I am here to tell you about how simple things can bring you GREAT JOY! My first favorite thing:





#1 A ROCK. You can do a lot with rocks, you can stomp them, collect them, put them in your pockets, hold them in your hands for hours, put them in your mouth or simply throw them into any form of collected water you can find. (demonstrated below).






#2 YOUR HANDS. You can clap, sign, eat, pick up rocks, wave, blow kisses, point, play, but most importantly and what I discovered today... you can do finger tricks!


#3 A BUS. They are fascinating you can see them all over town, but they disappear fast making me ask my mom, "go?" Today we saw (okay I was asleep, but my mom did) a bus on fire and we had to drive through its smoke!


#4 PAINT. You can do a lot with paint. It makes beautiful pictures on paper and bellies and I think it would look good on rugs, but my mom stopped me from doing that! ):


#5 PUMPKINS. They are ever where this time of year. I like to sit on them, look at them, and drink out of my pumpkin sippy. Pumpkin is also fun to say!


#6 CHEESE. It is simply one of the best forms of food. You can have cheese chunks or melted on sandwiches, or shredded on top of pasta after it is already mixed with cheese. I had all of these today!


#7 TRACTORS. They can also be found everywhere. There are many forms and I am interested in EVERY one!


#8 BOOKS. There are SO many different types and you can read them anywhere! My favorite is on someone's lap, especially in rocking chairs, or what I call "rocka rocka"


#9 WALKING BACKWARDS. Why don't we do this more often? It isn't the most effective way of getting around, but it is SO FUNNY!

#10 JESUS. I love Jesus. I love pictures of him, costumes of him (yes I saw one tonight) and statues of him. Sometimes when I am having a hard night I like to sleep with my Jesus statue from my dresser, it helps me sleep better! He is amazing.

She is so darling and I can't believe I am not going to get to see you or her for a long time (I really wonder how long it will be before we are both in Utah at the same time!). I have been wanting to call you back, but either phone problems, Thatcher problems (I'll explain those later), or me falling asleep when Thatcher is asleep have all gotten in the way (in addition to the annoying time difference between the two of us). I will call soon! I can't wait to talk to you and catch up!
