Activity Day’s

Not sure how many of you know that I am the Activity Day leader in our Ward. I was trying to figure it out a couple of weeks ago how long I had been with the girls and honestly couldn’t remember, I know it’s because I have enjoyed it SO MUCH!. Last week I was making the door reminders and looked for one of my old ones to use as a template, well I found my first one I did for them, and guess what this week it’s been 2 years… wow how time flies, especially when your having fun. They have just restructured most of the positions in our Ward over the past month or so, and I was so happy that they didn’t release me. I really hope they don’t take me out I really enjoy working with the girls, and I think that we still have so much to share with each other. I also enjoy working with girls, after being the only girl in my home, it’s refreshing :). Here’s to more time together!!

On Friday we went to the Mall and learned to shop the fashions and stay in the Gospel Standards (modestly). They seemed to have a good time and then we did what all girls like to do after shopping together…
DESSERT!! (we had some Cold Stone)
It was a good time for all :)


“Rest Time”

Jimmy wasn’t feeling too well last week, and stayed home from school on Thursday and Friday. Well on Friday we had a good healthy lunch and then it was “Rest Time”. Neither one of them really wanted to lie down, but they wanted to “put” them selves down. I thought for sure I would find them playing, so I told them they had 5 minutes before I came down and checked on them. Low and behold this is what I found.
THE SWEETEST BOYS AROUND!!

They are such great boys!! They can always put a smile on my face no matter what the day has been like and
I can get all the hugs and kisses that I need :) :)
What more could anyone want!?!

A Personal Note

I just thought I would put up a quick note tonight. I added a Sidebar tonight, Scripture of the Day. Chad a few years ago gave me a Scripture of the Day Calendar. I have found great peace on many occasions when I’ve read it. It is one of the best gifts I have ever received. Thank you Chad, for giving me a gift that never stops giving and in so many ways. I have tried to keep my blog “general” as to not offend anyone. I decided that I wasn’t being true to me or who I am and what I stand for. Since this blog is for my family and friends to keep up with our family and myself, then it should do just that. Here is a little piece of something that means the world to me… The Lord (or in this case His words).

I hope that someone else also gets enjoyment from the comfort of these words.
