Strawberries/Living Prophet


Michale has become a very picky eater, as most toddlers.  He does not like to eat fruit or veggies.  But ever since he was little he has not liked strawberries.  When we went strawberry picking last year he would not touch them.  This year I hoped it would change but again no cute red face in the strawberry patch.

Yesterday things changed.  We were at the pool, he was hungry and there were only grapes and strawberries.  He did not want either one.  But his hunger finally got the best of him and he ploped a grape in his mouth.  Not quite sure what to do I told him to bite on the grape and it would squirt in his mouth.  Oh this was cool.  He put another in and bit and laughted.  I decided that while he was being adventurous I would try a strawberry.  He actually put it in his mouth and bit down and didn't spit it out.  Instead he said, "It spit in my mouth, it's good!!"  He ate a few more strawberries and lots of grapes.  But I was so excited.  I mean how can someone go through life and not like strawberries?


We marched to the park yesterday.  He tumbled and fell in the grass, what a happy kid.

"23  But it came to pass, as soon as they had departed into the wilderness Moroni sent spies into the wilderness to watch their camp; and Moroni, also, knowing of the prophecies of Alma, sent certain men unto him, desiring him that he should inquire of the Lord whither the armies of the Nephites should go to defend themselves against the Lamanites."
Moroni trusts and believes in the living prophet. I think it is amazing that he asks Alma where to go. That is a lot of faith. How wonderful it would be to have a righteous leader.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Today we made the announcement to our 4 children and I am sure that each of you heard their screams of excitement.

John Derek would like the baby to be a boy so that he can have a brother. Samantha would like the baby to sleep in her room.

First day of school August 2014

First day of school!!  Eveyone was so excited.  Especially little Maddie.  Since March she has been asking me when she would get to go to kindergarten.  She was tired of preschool and wanted to be a big girl.  We told her she would have to wait until after swim team.  For about the last month she has asked everday when swim team would be over.  Finally we had our last swim even, the weekend, and school. For Kindergarten the first week back the kids only come one day so that the teachers can evaluate them and put the classes together.  Maddie's day was Monday which worked out perfect so that everyone could start on the same day. As Maddie got ready she and Samantha were suck like glue.  Samantha being the doting big sister and helping her out with lunch, backpack, and clothes.  We all walked into school and everyone was eager to help drop Maddie off.  When we got to the room the teacher looked at her and said, "Maddie! are you su...
