Well… it was a day. 6 a.m. – Tru woke in all his glory. 7:30 a.m. – appointment with the new stake president for Jimmy to receive a new calling – Stake Clerk 9:00 – Heather goes to InstaCare for the most ridiculous injury… mechanical pencil lead lodged in heel of foot. Seriously? It was […]
Therapy Sticks… or Glitter Wands… for Truman. He likes to bang sticks on things… so I thought we’d get him 2 glitter sticks to hit together to make music. Luckily he’s caught onto the no hitting people rule… hopefully. Dogs… See that huge book that Hannah brought home from the school library? This girl is […]
Abe sang this song in his 3rd grade program on Thursday. I love the message. It was so fun to watch the kids dance and have fun while singing this. Happy. This is going to be our Summer Song. Watching Abe doing the dance and actions made me realize that music can teach great things. […]
Let’s see, we’ve got swinging in sunglasses, sliding with upside down sunglasses, riding bikes (Tru & Max look so much alike in the helmet, huh?), basketball (Abe & Hannah are getting quite good), and then the real spring in Utah… SNOW! bleh… brrrrr… it was cold… like wind chill 9 degrees cold… it only temporarily […]
There is something odd going on here. Miss Hannah proclaimed this week that she would LOVE a puppy. Every day she begs for one. She even said she wouldn’t mind scooping poop. She’s trying harder to show us how responsible she is. Historically my kids have all been scared of dogs until they got to […]
My little boys like Spanish, especially Max. That boy proclaims that he’s going to South America on his mission. And a mighty missionary he will be too. Well… Jimmy teaches the kids words and phrases in Spanish. We learned Joy to the World in Spanish at Christmas time. Jimmy’s spanish is great. Mine – eh […]
Hannah started taking piano from our good friend Wendy Rencher in the Fall of 2011. Oh, how we loved her. The recitals were fun. Great lady & teacher. Abe decided he wanted to take too and we switched them both to another neighbor, Camille Lewis… in January 2013. Abe was quite enjoying himself. He picked […]
Yesterday Liza learned a new word… Bubbles. Oh, how she loves bubbles. We’re still working on blowing them instead of trying to lick the wand, but there is progress. It’s a delight to watch little ones enjoy bubbles outside in the springtime.
I’m just glad something we teach in the home is getting through to someone. Mr. Max actually has an incredible memory. He can remember things from years ago, even though he is so little. He’s a bright spot in our family.
I was asked to share a 30 minute message on “Steadying the Ship: The power of peace.” at the AFG Retreat. It was such a blessing to study and prepare this message. Knowing how one should act and feel is much easier than doing – hence I am continually a work in progress in this […]
