Brought you up to Tuesday....

And then I just left you hanging! So sorry! Our internet went down on Friday and didn't come back up until Saturday evening. Being that I do most of my schoolwork online, I had quite a bit of work to do the last couple days. But here I am :).
Alright! Tuesday, it was a great day. Elle was still feeling a bit under the weather but we managed to squeeze in a trip to Cabela's. My kids think it is like going to a zoo! And I am okay with that because the animals aren't alive! Well, the fish are but not that enormous polar bear starring into my eyes!
That evening we had dinner at the house with Grandpa. My cousin Nicole and her two ADORABLE children came by (I'll talk more about them in another post, they deserve a post of their own) and my Aunt Paula stopped in for a bit. And then, around eight o'clock our dear, dear friends, Len and Tena, came by to pick Ronnie and I up. Here is a picture of the four of us just as we are heading out the door:
This was taken from Levi's iPod, so it is a bit grainy

We went to BJ's and laughed and talked and ate and laughed and talked and ate and...you get it! It was wonderful! I will tell you that Tena, (click here to go to her blog) is simply amazing! Not only is she a genuine friend but she loves God, people and life immensely! She embraces life with passion and it spills on to everyone that comes in contact with her. She is an inspiration to me and many others. I could really go on and on here, but it would take all day. We so enjoyed spending that time with them and look forward to the next, and the next, and the next....so thankful for our friends!

If all goes well, I'll continue our trip either tomorrow or Friday. Boy, am I ever stretching this out!!

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 ...
