Trying to hold down that tie that was blowing in the wind.
I can tell in this one that I botched the hair cut. Sigh!

It's great to be 8
Since my second little boy was about to turn 8 years old and get baptized, I had Lucia take some pictures of him as well. This adorable boy was in my tummy when we moved here to Arkansas. Now he's 8. For this entire last year, he has been reading the Book of Mormon. He finished it up before his birthday, just like his older brother did before he got baptized. It wasn't always easy, but he stuck to it and read the entire book on his own for the first time of hopefully many. Oh how I love this little boy. What a joy he is to me and to our family! My handsome fellow is EIGHT!!!

Please understand
For some reason, I feel I should post things chronologically as they happen. The problem is, I get so far behind. Like now. Life is busy and there are current things happening that I want to share, but I don't because I'm not caught up. So I am going to title some posts and then come back later and fill more in. That way I can keep things in order, but still maybe get to current happenings I want to share.

Winter Wonderland concert at school
Our elementary school music teacher is the BEST. Each year she helps each grade learn a few songs and then they present those at a concert in December. This year, my kindergartener and 2nd grader were sick, so they didn't get to participate. Only my 5th grader was able to take part. This was December 12, 2013.
Sleigh bells ring...
525,600 minutes...
Here they are playing recorders...
Young Women's
Our fearless Young Women's leader challenged us and all the girls to memorize the Family Proclamation. We had a certain number of weeks and passed it off paragraph by paragraph, even being able to split the long paragraph in two. The reward for following through on that challenge was a dinner at the restaurant BRAVO! on December 11th. All three of my girls and four others-one being an investigator-(out of 20 girls) completed the task. And most of the leaders did too.
We didn't get a shot of the leaders, but they were: Karen, Kathie, Natalie, Kaitlin, and Amanda.
It took hard work, courage and follow through to get this done. I'm proud of these girls. Espeically my Jordan, who didn't pass it off paragraph by paragraph, but did the entire Proclamation in one shot. So very Impressive. And then she had a challenge with the Stake President (Beheshti) where they went back and forth saying paragraphs. She won by his own admission. Wonderful!
From there we went to Sister Beheshti's home for our last Project Motherhood activity (we focused this year on helping prepare the girls for their future role as a Mother). The girls took turns teaching us how to prepare some creative Christmas treats.
