Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Swim Lessons

Well, our swim lessons started today. I was nervous and so were the kids. :) But they did well and enjoyed it. I'm not sure about Livvy though. She seemed to have fun. But they made her dunk her head and she didn't enjoy that. I'm curious to see how she does tomorrow when they make her dunk again. I envision a panic filled scenario. She's quite the stubborn little firecracker!

Elizabeth and Elijah and Jake did super! I was most worried about Elijah - but when he got out he walked quickly (because they don't run at the pool) over to me and said, "Mom, can we go home and swim in our pool because I can swim now?!"

Other news around here: Jake does NOT have any contagious disease. I think he must have had an allergic reaction to something (probably being good). He woke up fine - no spots or fever, just a mass amount of naughtiness! Could I trade that back for the spots? :)

Bret is gone until tomorrow. He's been at Scout Camp. I miss him. Could've used him yesterday to talk to. :)
Tonight is "No Daddy Party." The kids LOVE this time watching movies and eating junk. We pull their mattresses out and they sleep in the living room. I will sleep in my own big bed all by myself!
I'm trying to figure out what we'll have for dinner tonight. KFC sounds good!!! With an extra large Mt. Dew on the side. Or to be more sodaly correct - Mt. Dew with KFC on the side. :)

Well, Hugs to all!
