First Day of Kindergarten and it's her birthday!




Today, six years ago, we welcomed a precious little girl into our family. Ashley Jean is a joy! She is our angel baby. Not only is today her birthday, but she started kindergarten! She has waited a long time for this day! When we moved from California to Washington last year, Ashley's birthday came after the cut-off date to enter school. Therefore, she had to wait patiently, or rather impatiently, to go to school. So today is really HER day!!! We love you, Ashley Jean! You are a precious gift from God!

First of all; HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your littlest charge. Ashley Jean... I know this is a fffeeeewwww days late, but I finally took the time to stop and write it, lol.
How exciting to start kindergarten on your birthday. How sweet is that?!

Wow Kim, your children are growing and before you know it they'll really be grown :(
I have to agree with you about children being a precious gift from God... You are absolutely right! I love children and enjoy being childlike... and they make you young (whereas teenagers make you feel old, VERY old!! lol)so enjoy your children while they are still young.

Love you Kim and your familia' and pray the best blessings in your lives. You are wonderful people to me.
God Blessings; sisRuby♥

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 ...
