Here are a few moments from our lives:
My kids love their dad. They love to wrestle with him and really play hard. Here is one of those moments.
Michael has discovered the pantry. He loves to go in there and get into what ever his little hands can find. Usually it is ramen noodle or packs of lemon aid that he hasn't figured out how to open. But this day it was rice. He had been so quiet I knew something was up.
My Visiting Teacher has chickens and occasionally brings me eggs. She is so sweet. These were so pretty and so colorful I didn't want to crack them so I took a picture. What fun God must have had making "Easter Eggs" for the whole year.
Elizabeth loves Michael. She loves to hold him, take care of him, and be his second mommy. She is a wonderful girl and very good and very responsible. I am so grateful that she is my oldest child. She fits the role well. I truly don't know what I would do without her.
We were in the waiting room at the doctors to find out if Samantha could get her boot taken off. Michael found a ball and started throwing it, following it, picking it up and throwing it again. Pretty soon he had the whole waiting room in on the game. They would help him if it went under a couch or chair. He finally sat down on the floor, threw the ball, then pointed to one of the patients and then to the ball. The gentelman got up, went to the ball picked it up and tossed it back to Michael. Michael was delighted. This went on and on until we were called in. He really had them trained.
Michael loves this game. We have a bunch of puff balls and a container with a small hole. He picks up the balls and puts them in the container. It is a great church game because it is quiet. His favorite part is when he puts one in his mouth looks up at me and smiles knowing I will try to retrive it from him.
There is a fabulous ice cream place called Brusters that my niece works at. Every year they have pajama day. If you come dressed in your PJ's you get free ice cream. My kids love it. Friday when John Derek had pajama day at school he asked his dad "Can we have Pajama Day at Church?"

Chapter 5: Faith and Repentance
" When President Smith ordained bishops, he often counseled: “Remember, everyone has weaknesses, and there are at least two sides to every story. If you err in judgment, be sure you err on the side of love and mercy.” 7"
I need to remember this as a mom. To make sure I am giving out more love and mercy than punishment and accusation.
