A Illness has overtaken our House

So you better stay away!

Its called the "I can't do that" illness. Its followed by uncontrollable temper tantrums, and running around the house like a chicken with its head cut off.

Every Morning it begins:

"Time to make your bed," "I can't do that!"

"You need to take a shower,' "I can't do that!"

" Let's Brush your hair," "I can't do that!"

"Pick up your toys," "I can't do that!"

Everyonce in a while I will throw in,

"Its time for Breakfast," "I can't....wait?"

So by that time I know that it has just become a natural responds to any thing I ask my girls to do. ( Tate still doesn't talk much, but I am sure the illness will set in as soon as he can)


So I believe it is time for some medicine. I think Dr. Mom is going to prescribe some heavy doses of HARD WORK and lots of encouragement. To show them that they can do some pretty great things, even if they are hard, and especially if they don't want to.


And to prove to my children that it is possible, I am going to give up my most favorite thing in the world. Chocolate! Yes, thats right. I have got to do something drastic. It has become out of control, and I really don't want it spreading to other families.

I Love to See the Temple.

I'm going there someday...

Last Saturday, we got a chance to take the youth of our ward to the open house of the Gila Valley Temple. All I can say is what an amazing opportunity it was to get to go. And to be able to go with them. At 9:00 am we started the drive to the temple, and got there just in time for lunch. We were able to get into the temple about a half hour earlier than our scheduled time. What a wonderful experience to be able to take the Youth through the temple. To see their faces light up as we walked through. You could see it one there faces that they knew where they were, and that they wanted to be able to go back someday. I love the youth of our ward, they are the best.

More Strawberries.

Is it possible to get sick of these little gems?
