Too Close?

Well this past week has gone by so fast so it seems. Last Saturday we had our ward swim party, & a visit with our Home Teacher's pet turtle "sneaky". Justin missed out on everything because he got sick all of a sudden. However, good old mom forgot the camera to both events. I thought I could make it all up though when Koe invited us to go to her ward's swim party, nope I forgot the camera again. What is wrong with me?

So I decided that my next post...this post was going to be me asking is this to close for a 1 year old to watch T.V.?

Emie is so cute. She does the funniest things. Today I was watching t.v. and she pulled the little stool right up to the entertainment center crossed her arms and started watching. I couldn't resist I had to take a pic. Justin and I are always talking about how happy we are to have such a funny kid for our last one! Yes she is our last one!

By the way I do know that this is way to close for her I don't let her do it constantly just for picture purposes only!)

And oh yea I was watching "FRIENDS" of course what else would I be watching. It was the one when they were in Vegas and it was the morning that Rachel and Ross woke up next to each other and later found out that they got married! So funny:)

Never Mind!

Well I was going to post a countdown to my birthday but for some reason pyzam has made things a little more difficult than I want to deal with right now so I will not be posting anything that is fun! there are ruffly 22 day until the big 32nd birthday I am excited, I have a good friend whose birthday is one week before mine so we have decided to go out to dinner this will be the 2nd annual birthday dinner! Well I will keep you up to date when there are things to post for some reason nothing great or interesting has happened for a while so it has been a slow week for my blog. The family got sick this weekend and we are trying to get over that. So hopefully soon I will have something great to post! WOW what a boring rant sorry to all that read all the way through!

First Day of School...Yesterday!

Yesterday was the first day of school and it was wonderful! Don't you just love the first day when the kids are young! They are all excited and want to hurry to get ready and don't argue and fight they just want to get to school and play and learn! I do I love that my kids want to go to school and learn all new things, and play with friends old and new ones! They were so cute yesterday and they were so happy! Parker was a little sad at first because he didn't understand that his class is now in the afternoon so he thought I just wasn't letting him go to school! I had to explain to him that he now gets to go after his channel 8 shows. Well he didn't really like that because he told me that he didn't like cartoons! Which proved true during my R.S. meeting yesterday also! Anyway I wanted to post yesterday but couldn't get to the computer so here it is today before another day of school! I am sure Michelle, Eli and Parker will do great this year and I wish them luck in all they want to do! I Love you guys !

This picture is just an extra one! Parker really wanted his backpack to get it's own picture so I had to do it! He is so funny!

WHEW!

Well I finished my R.S. lesson today and I am happy to say it went well?


I really was worried that I wouldn't have enough material to fill the time I had...and I didn't! I ended 20 minutes before the hour but it was good because at least 5 woman got up and bore their testimonies and they all said they wouldn't have if there was only 5 minutes left to do it. I also had several people tell me that they needed the lesson, they had things going on and needed to hear what I said. So that was reassuring! Anyway I want to thank all who helped and prayed and got me through this first lesson and I figure it should only get easier from here on out...Yea right! Oh by the way I was so nervous at the beginning of the lesson that I started to cry! That is what I do I cry when I get nervous! Justin laughs at me for it but whatever!

Yea for me!

Just Because!

Well I have had the same post on for a few days now SO I thought I would update but I really don't have much to say so I am going to tell you something...


This Sunday I get to teach a lesson. Not just some ordinary lesson like for 5 year old children or even a lesson for all the children between the ages of 3-11. NO I get to teach in Relief Society. AAAAHHHHH! I am so nervous, I have no idea what to teach, well I mean, I know what to teach about, my lesson is on forgiveness and healing. But I don't know how to teach adults. I have been getting some good advice from my sister and husband which has helped but I still need to maybe write something down have some notes maybe an outline! But I am questioning if I even really know how to do that! This is the time in our lives when the high school teacher who said you will use this in your lives is rolling over and laughing at me. I should have paid attention in English maybe, maybe not, all I know is I am going to teach on Sunday and I am going to need some inspiration and heavenly help. So for now I will be saying good bye to the blog and spending the rest of this week preparing this lesson and making sure I don't teach anything that could get me kicked out of the room! Wish me luck and maybe send a few prayers my way! It would be greatly appreciated!

Waahh! for me!

Karate?

Last week we got a call from Arizona's Best Karate place saying we had a month of free lessons (courtesy of Laurel Rencher). Justin looked at me with my do you really want to sign the boys up for karate look, and said I thought it would be a good idea. I thought for a minute and came to the conclusion that Michelle has taken dance and is now in piano lessons and has had the extra curricular activities so I think the boys ought to have something. We also figured that Parker would totally benefit from the discipline that karate would give him...we hope! So we went to the first lesson and Parker of course didn't even want to get dressed but he enjoyed the lesson and Eli just thought it was a time to be very silly! Anyway Yesterday Justin and I went to the "sales meeting" where "Master Preston" sold us on the program. So Eli and Parker will be taking karate 1 day a week for the next year. YEAR? yep not so bad I hope! If I can remember to get them to the lessons on time. Last week I got dinner on the table and fed the family by 6:00 and then got Parker ready to go to class arrived at the school and was told I was an hour late! oops hence I am only doing this 1 day a week I can't afford 2 days and I also can't remember twice a week! Anyway here are some pictures of the boys that we got on the first free day of school!

These pictures were taken by my not great camera so if you have to see the boys go ahead and click on them image

Eli at attention! Eli Punching! Eli getting his first belt!
