Today was the most peaceful sunday I have had in 10 years. Not even joking one bit! I got released from primary a couple of weeks ago. I have been there for 10 years, straight! I do love kids, but can I tell you how wonderful it was to be in young womens today. I cried, I felt the spirit, I learned, I listened. Oh it was fabulous! I am the new secretary, someone up above is bound and determined to help me fight my "fly by the seat of my pants" attititude, so I am trying to be better. Yesterday we had basketball all day, it was rough. Emree games were really rough, we got killed. Its hard to see the positive when you get smashed down, and then down even farther. But at the end of the day, life is still good. God is good, we are so blessed. I have loved having an actual winter this year, all the snow and cold weather, just makes me feel at home. I really do love it. My favorite is when its so cold the snow squeaks and sparkles. Like diamonds in the fields, and then the frost on the trees another favorite.
Brooklyn sprained her ankle at her j.v game the other night, class 2. She was crying so much, I thought it was worse. Come to find out, she was just so bummed she couldnt play in the varsity game. Once the tears started coming she couldnt stop them. Her first home game, where she was going to get to play a lot, she was pretty bummed. Alas, life goes on and basketball does not determine your worth as a person. She is a little humbled at the situation. As much as we think we can control our lives, we cant, plain and simple.
Brady had a great weekend at basketball. He is getting more confident and trusting himself and his abilities, I love to see him starting to lead. He has been shy for so long....
Emree is just a fighter, she worked hard until the end of each game and hung in there.
Beckett has been emotional, its hard when you don't get enough sleep.
Here is my conversation with Carson this morning
Carson: I don't want to go to church cause it takes too long.
Mom: Church goes by fast, so I can come and get you.
Carson: My stinking class is too long.
Me: dying laughing... your stinking class?
Carson: no my singing class
Me: OH!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!
First day of School!

My Pride and Joy!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!
Funny Story 1
Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day.
Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized."
Me: "Why not?"
Brook: "It's too scary."
And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem?
Me: "Whats scary about it?"
Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized."
I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?"
Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar.
So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!
What a handsome boy!

Achoo!

Emree right before a sneeze~
Something"s funny!
