Oh the things we do as kids!

ok, so my dear friend, Joleen Tanner, calls me yesterday, laughing. She says" hey I thought of us today!" She listens to KFBK online at work and when she opened the page, there was a picture of NKOTB. For those of you who don't know who that is, it's New Kids on the Block. They were popular in the late 80's and early 90's. Well guess what? They, like every other band that started as kids, are making a comeback! I'm not sure why they think they will be better the second time around, because they weren't very good the first time! Although I have to admit I was a huge fan, well as big of a fan as you can be when you are a pentecostal kid! Joleen and I thought they were just something, they were soooo cute! LOL! Now it's hilarious to think of it, the hidden posters behind our bedroom door, we couldn't buy the tapes(yes, tapes!) so we copied their songs off the radio, and if we happened to have a friend from school who had their music we would borrow their stuff. Awwww..what memories! So I want to know, are Joleen and I the only ones in this boat? Who liked NKOTB, or any other band or artist in the 80's that is embarrassing to admit?

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
