Kim's World

This is the Life, its where I wanna be, living from center of a heart that's free! Recognize those lyrics? Any Phillips, Craig, and Dean fans out there? I love PCD, yes I am old, yes I have been to their concerts and I would go again! There are some artists that can write songs that stick with you, and this is one of them. The life I live is a choice and it is the only choice. When we have services like the one we had Tuesday night, it is confirmation that we are living the best life! Below is a picture of my boys, they are getting a refilling of the Holy Ghost. I couldn't think of a better place for them to be. Proverbs 22:6 says, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. I want this to be a way of life for my kids, it is the only life that matters eternally and that is the most important thing! Thanks Aunt Tabby for the picture!

I know, we are all busy, and that is a lame excuse, but I am finally gonna post again! We have been busy with school, quizzing, weddings, family in town.....all which we enjoy thoroughly! Right kids? Well, we are finally done with school for the year! Whew! Being a homeschooling mommy(and loving it), it is work for me too. It is such a feeling of accomplishment at the end of the school year when your kids are done and you look back and realize, they were really learning! I love home school! We are so blessed to have this option and I pray everyday that we will be able to continue. We are also trying to get ready for our next quiz tournament which the Rock church is hosting. Levi is my only one quizzing in this tournament, and he will know 151 verses by next week! Myles is doing good, he has memorized about 70 verses, not enough to qualify for this tournament. That is ok though, he is only 6! I have discovered, in working with Levi, that I have a pretty good memory myself. We are workin...

Many of you are familiar with the saying "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Being an optimist myself, I love that little quote. In this life you have the choice to be positive or negative. Things become so much easier when you have a positive attitude and outlook on life. My Bishop's wife has a saying, " Your attitude determines your altitude." It has become increasingly difficult for people to look on the brighter side of things. A friend sent me an email today and I thought I would share it with you. Enjoy! Lemons and Sugar 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to s...

God Bless the USA! We have a dear friend serving in Iraq, in the United States Air Force. For those of you who know Nolan Corbitt, this post is for him. If you want to post a comment to him, I am sure he would appreciate it. Nolan, we want you to know how much we miss you and we appreciate your service to our country. We are praying for you continually, for God's protection and strength to be with you. We know God will bring you safely home. In the meantime, we will keep you posted on all that is happening here, and keep you informed on what is going on in our crazy world. We love you! Don't worry about Krista, she will be well taken care of! Levi, Myles, Elle and Ashley Jean say "hi" and they love you! Everyone, except for Ashley, is just trying get done with school. The boys are slowwwwly working on their verses (it's like pulling teeth) but we'll get it done! We are gonna go to Aden's first birthday party and take lots of pictures and send them to you...

Mother's day is a special day to honor the most important person in your life! I want to take a moment to say something about my mommy. First, she looks more like my sister than my mom. Second, she spoils my kids more than she ever spoiled me. Third, I wouldn't have it any other way. Being a mom myself, I now realize some very important things. Like, I will never again have a full night's sleep, my food is not my own, my clothing was made to be used as napkins, and my house will be clean (after my children are grown). The most important thing for me is to raise my children to Love God, Love the Word of God, Love the man of God, and the house of God. Fortunately for me, this is also what my mother taught me. Thank you Mom, you are a blessing in my life and I am honored to say you are my mother! I Love You, Happy Mother's Day. Now for all the other mothers in my life, if I began to name them all, I would leave one out. So to just name a few, My Bishop's wife, Sis. Wil...

This is my sweet Ashley Jean! We were leaving the baseball game(more on that later) and she said "I'm gonna fell the flowers" So I decided it was a perfect photo opportunity. She has a little lisp when she talks and all her "sp's" and "sm's" are "f's". So therefore, I am very fecial! :) So about the baseball game, well this year both my boys are playing and they are on opposite teams. This makes things a little more complicated when they play each other. Last night for example, was one of those games. The final score was 23 to 4, the red team won. Levi is on red, Myles is on blue. Fortunately, Myles is just out there to have fun and as long as he is with his friends, all is well. Levi, however, is a little more sensitive. But since his team won, he was able to gloat a little. He did hit a home run, and I screamed and jumped up from my chair(isn't that what a mom is supposed to do?). Anyhow, it is so much fun to watch all the l...

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 borro...

We went to the Folsom zoo yesterday. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time! The zoo is kinda small, but it has quite a few animals. Of course Ashley had the best time and it was hilarious watching her get excited over the animals. The others, Hope(my niece), Levi, Myles and Elle, were some what entertained, but got bored quickly. When you've been to a zoo like the San Francisco zoo, not many small city zoos can compare. Stacie and I just like getting out of the house!!!

I am officially in the blogger world! I said I'd never do this, but it isn't for me. I am doing this for family and friends, especially those that don't get the privilege of living near me! (Mom and Dad) I am actually excited because now I don't have to spend hours trying to send pictures through my email, my family can see updated pictures of the most beautiful children in the world, instantly! So come join us in our exciting journey through life, where we will laugh, sometimes cry, but most of all, live everyday to the fullest. ;)
