Gethsemane

I'm not sure I'm supposed to do this, but I videoed the primary singing in church today. Oh, how I love this song! 

Rainy Soccer

Wow! It's a wet one today and I wasn't very prepared to sit through it all. I think it would be wise to find our umbrella. At least we have wise friends who are extra prepared and could share with us.

Noah's an Independent Reader

Today Noah got his independent reader award. This is kind of sad that he's just earning it now, since he's definitely good enough of a reader. It's just hard to drag all the kids before or after school into the library to take the AR tests. Noah also received a 250 lap award with his cousin Elise. So proud of how hard he works at school each day.

Nikki's First Practice Ever

It's finally arrived, the long anticipated first soccer practice. We checked for water bottles, correct sized soccer balls, shin cards, socks, kleets. and practice outfit...Nicole was ready to go. It was darling watching her run and try and kick the ball. She was loving every second of it.

National Sibling Day

From 3 to 18, I have the best siblings in the world!

From sun up to sun down...

...they ride...the biking duo, Nikki and Cameron.

Mary's lesson FHE

Mary planned a darling Family Home Evening lesson that she prepared in her Sunday school class. She talked about how we can build our lives around Jesus Christ. We decided on our favorite answers and wrote them on the paper. Then we sang the wise man and the foolish man and she demonstrated it outside on the patio. She used to a fan to represent the buffetings of Satan and salt and a rock to show the strength of the Christ-centered foundation. It was remarkable. Sometimes I get blown away by the way she thinks and the maturity of her soul. She will be a powerful force for good...in fact, she already is.
