Michael and Martin Luther King Jr.

Oh My!!  My Michael is so funny!  We had just had our family home evening about Martin Luther King Jr.  We talked about segregation, and Everyone created equal and all of the wonderful things Martin Luther King did for us.  So, to go with that theme, of different flavors...  We had a banana split with 4 different types of ice cream.  While eating the ice cream, I turned on the "I have a dream" speech.  While listening to it, Michael says, Martin Luther King had funny dreams!  Just because he kept saying "I had a dream in his speech", over and over again.  We giggled so much!

Also, another funny story, We were driving to church, and Michael was saying something to Chris, and Chris said, yeah Michael, You make a good point.  Then, Michael pointed to himself and said, Like this dad?

You might not find these stories very funny, BUT I DO!  So, make sure you are polite!

BIRTHDAY MONTH!!

I love April.  Mainly because it comes after March.  March was tough.  We got through it together, and now I am on the up and up.  I have been cooped up in my house the last two weeks, with Stephen having a high fever last week, for 6 days, and then Michael waking up on Monday morning with a high fever as well.  So, we have been avoiding everyone.  I usually spend around 500$ in Gas.. You read that right.  This month, I think it will be a better month, since I haven't gone anywhere within these last two weeks.  Last month we went to Utah to visit the family.

Yeah, obviously, I don't post a bunch of stuff.. So, it's a new year, so let's try better!~  These were just in my inbox needing to be posted.. So I posted them, but they are not complete thoughts.  Good luck following along.

Thoughts of the day

Today was a great day.  Yesterday, was a bad day.  I ended yesterday with a prayer and reading the scriptures to help me get out of my bad day.  Today, I made a goal to not yell at my children.  For they are my blessings.  My blessings that I love, and that I appreciate.  I need to show them that more.  I need to breathe more, so that they know that love and peace is what I am made of.  So, today, was great.  I didn't yell at the boys, and here is the shocker, THEY DIDN'T yell at me!  How about that?  I have thoughts about how blessed I was today.  First, we have some tough stuff going on and I was able to keep tackling it, with out getting overwhelmed.  I knew just use the 3 hours I had allocated to the tasks, and it was easy not to get crazy.  I heard from Chris at Scout Camp today.  He sounds great.  He works so hard with his business, and with his calling.  I then got to see a great friend today, who made me laugh.  Then I went to Target.  Target is a tough place for me.  I try to go to Target to get rid of Walmart...  Well, at least to help Target out.  Today, we walked into Target, and we met Veronica.  Veronica is.."An old lady, who didn't have any kids, whose husband died 24 years ago.

I am now finishing this post only a few months later...  I believe I started this post in June.  Crazy!!  How about this!  I don't remember the rest of the story about Veronica, but I am sure it will come to me.  She was a delightful lady who had a cart full of groceries, and then was going to walk home.  So, we put her in my truck, and took her to her house.  The boys were very nice to her, but wanted to know why she didn't have a husband, or any kids, and why she had an accent, and if she believed in Jesus...  Yep.  My kids.  They rock!

This picture is of the boys, the Day of NOELLE'S birthday.  They were so excited to take this picture, can't you tell?
