While talking on the phone Reed didn't appear crying as usual at my feet. He was helping him self to 2 oz of semisweet chocolate I had bought for lava cakes. He was very happy and content. Isn't that good parenting? Anything you want, all you want, when you want! Thought you might enjoy the picture. He is very happy here. Best to you all

This week Adelaide fell in love with Aunt Sheryl. She loves spending time with Aunt Sheryl helping her do whatever she is doing. One of their projects was making cookies. They were yummy. They also cleaned and organized various parts of grandma's house. Addie loves to help and calls her self a good worker.  Another fun happening of the week was grape harvest at our house. John and Harold picked the grapes then we plucked them off the vine and put them in bottles for grape juice. Such a great treat and simple recipe it is a must on the fall canning list. We also went to beet harvest and lunch.  The kids all got to ride with various uncles and grandparents and really enjoyed the time to visit, observe, and explore the beet harvest world.  A great treat for Reed and Harold was a little dog named Tiger who was a surprise guest at lunch time.  He is little dog just REed's size but nice and not yippy. The boys really enjoyed loving him. Addie was brave and rode al...

We all hear the adage you will get what you expect. This applies not only to ourselves but to those around us that we have personal influence on. Today we had our primary program. The kids had their parts memorized and did well with them. Aliza gave a talk about the priesthood and Joseph Smith searching for answers, reading James 1:5 and then his account of seeing God the Father and the Son. She was excited to get to say quote and end quote. All the speakers in general conference use that phrasing and she asked why they did. So she was proud of being able to encorporate it into her talk as well.  She did a great job. I expected her to do a great job.    I expected all my children to be brave to give their part and if given the choice to say more than one mumbled word into their collar. I expected my class of 12 year olds to give talks that were more than just 2 sentence answers to questions. They too did a great job using 2 scriptures, personal st...

Merry Christmas and Happy New YEAR!  This year has flown by and we are so enjoying the holiday season. For the first time in my life I had my kids and most of the other people on my list figured out and bought for before thanksgiving. It has been great to have time to do other things like book work and hold sick kids. Because we have so many kids the older ones are well and it's just the youngest two who are slugging out this cold flu thing.     Another first in my life I consented to go shopping on black friday. I was honestly surprised at the low key atmosphere in most places and mostly enjoyed going out to breakfast with my sister in-laws. We did however venture into Joanne's after and found the real deal. Long LONg lines of shoppers with carts full of material. I think I have decided to just buy projects as I am ready to tackle them. As I get excited when buying and need that momentum to get the project done. I found gorgeous brocade and decided to make the girls...
