In the Meantime...

While we are in transition to California, we are staying in Coos Bay, Or. with my parents. If we were going to choose anytime of the year to be here, now would be the time. It is slightly warmer than any other time of the year and with school not in session, we have some free time.
We have went a few places; park, library, fishing (sort of), a little shopping and I am finally learning to sew from the master aka my mom. The project I decided to start with is a bit more than I can chew. Thankfully, I am staying under my mom's watchful eye. When I have this project complete, I'll post pictures. If I posted now, it would not make any sense :).  
In the next few days, we are planning to head to the beach. Personally, I have been waiting for the overcast skies to clear. But I fear if I wait too long, we won't go at all! My parents live only minutes from the beach and at night I can sometimes hear the sound of waves wafting through my window. Glorious! Nothing like the sound of the ocean. I will miss it :(.
So Hello from Coos Bay...

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 ...
