Parker's Talk

Parker happened to have a talk on Mother's Day in primary and I thought it would be nice for him to talk about mother's and what he likes about his mom. Matt helped his write it and then asked my Dad to help Parker on Sunday. (Matt had to work). It was so nice and I about started crying! He can be super sweet and the best little boy sometimes. I am amazed at how big he is getting and hoe grown up he acts sometimes. I love him so much. Here is his talk: "Today is Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day Mommy. I love you. My mommy does so many things to help me each day things like, make me breakfast, help me get ready for school and even help me find my favorite cartoons on TV. My mommy also teached me how to choose the right. She teaches me that when I share my toys and play with my brother and sister, I am choosing the right. My favorite thing to do with my mommy is when she takes me and my brother and sister to play at the park. I love it when she pushes me on the swings. In Alma chapter 56 verse 47 it says, 'mothers teach us if we do not doubt, God will deliver us.' Just like the Armies of Heleman, my mommy teaches me to have faith in Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. I love my mommy In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

I Finally Finished

Well I got the book Breaking Dawn last Tuesday in the mail. I had preordered it from Amazon.com and couldn't wait to get it. I knew I would not be one to stand in line all night to get it at the bookstore so ordering it worked best for me. As soon as I got it I started reading it and was reading it pretty quickly but for some reason my kids and husband thought that they needed fed and clean clothes and they wanted to be entertained. I don't know why that is. So I finally finished it last night after all the distractions it took me a little less than a week. I probably could have read it in a day, but that it the life of a mom. I wish I could sit and read a good book all day while eating bon bons, but any of you that are wives and mothers know that is not how it works. Anyways, back to the book. I LOVED IT!!! I thought it was the best in the series. Probably because it was action packed and tied everything together and it had a great ending. Can I just say Great Job Stephanie Meyer these are the best books I have read in a long time. Any of you out there who have not read or heard of the Twilight series, you need to check them out! You will not be disappointed.
Yesterday the kids and I went to Ross Park swimming with my sister and her fiance and his son. We had a blast. Parker did not want to leave. I lathered on the sunscreen but I got a little too much sun on my shoulders and Parker seemed to get a little on his face beneath his eyes so it looks like he got hit in the face. The weather was really nice, but the wind was blowing so it made it really chilly when you were out of the water. We are going again next week with my friend Anne and her girls so we are already looking forward to that.
I was able to see one of my high school friends Michelle over the weekend and it was fun to visit with her for a little while. Her younger brother just got married and they were having an open house here so all of her family was there. It was pretty busy at her parents house. We will have to get together another time with just us and no kids then we can really enjoy our visit. Thanks Michelle for calling me I had fun seeing you and your family!!
We finally got a primary chorister on Sunday so I am off the hook as a temporary substitute. So now I just have to prepare my monthly sharing time and conduct once a month. So that will lighten the load. My mom got put in as the new chorister and I know she will do a great job. She was just released as the 2nd counselor in Relief Society so it will be a change going from adult women to the primary kids. We are exctied to have someone in there that will be dependable and that knows music. Thanks mom for accepting the call. Well I think that is all for now. I guess I shouldn't put off writing then my posts wouldn't be so long. Happy reading!!!
