Grant, Christine, Grace, Thaddeus, Madelyn & Ephraim: 2/9-2/15/14

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Grace is doing spelling tests at school now, she is pretty awesome! This was her 2nd time through a list of words she brought home.

We were getting ready to pick up Grace and I set him down. When I came back to him, he was asleep!

Madelyn will go in the potty sometimes. When she was in the tub she acted like she needed to go poop, so I put her on the potty. I did it twice and she didn't go either time. I left for a minute, and told her not to poop in the tub. When I cam back I saw that brown spot on the floor, at least she hadn't done it in the tub!!
