“Grandma reeaally loves us!”–Summer, in response to receiving a belated Easter package from Grandma Laura, jam-packed with candy. (thanks Grandma!)
“I baked the cake, I can eat it whenever I want.”–Summer, in response to eating the Family Home Evening treats before the lesson ever started. Point taken, she was allowed.

Distractions
Posted in Random Thoughts, tagged conference, distractions, Savior on March 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We had the girls over to watch Young Women’s Conference at my house this weekend. I loved all the messages. One that really stood out to me is the fact that we tend to be easily distracted from our purpose in life. Unlike the Savior, who was perfect and never distracted from [...]
Two Cooks are Better Than One

For the past two days, Jeremy has made dinner! I love it when he does this! Although I help, it is just so nice when someone else is in the kitchen with you. It makes the load much lighter and the time fly by. I especially love the fact that while [...]

EXTREME SPORTS: SIX YEAR OLD SNOW SOCCER, MARCH 29, 2008
The toughest athletes live in Whatcom County. I have heard in California they cancel games due to a little sprinkle. Not here…no one would ever get to play. We play through torrential downpours, in lake sized mud puddles, through fierce blowing winds, [...]
I Hope You Dance

Summer may not be an athlete, but she is a very graceful ballerina. At the beginning of this year, she was given permission to go on pointe. With my foot dislocated, I cannot even imagine dancing strictly on my toes. I honestly never thought Summer would go this far with dance. [...]
Oh Spring, Where Art Thou?

My visiting teachers came over today. I have not had regular visiting teachers who actually come over in…well I can’t remember the last time! They brought “Spring amidst the snow” in the form of flowers. I really, really, really love flowers, really. All kinds. Jeremy hardly ever buys me flowers, [...]
Pleasant Surprises

We have not had television for at least ten years. We rent videos, and sometimes out of desperation for some form of entertainment (without having to move off the couch), we will go out on a limb and try a movie we would not have otherwise considered. Sometimes we regret it, but sometimes, [...]
The Tongue of Angels

Last week, I needed a Family Home Evening Lesson on kind words. My lovely children have been snappy and rude to each other for several weeks, and it was hurting my heart. In turn, I was having negative feelings, and was probably short with them as well. That can really drive away [...]

“See ya, wouldn’t wanna beat ya!”–Aidan, as we dropped Summer off at dance.
When I taught him the right saying, he chanted it all the way home.
