Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson

Lesson Learned!

While Ryan was at a BYC meeting Sunday morning, Ellie was in her crib and I was in the shower, this is what Kailee was doing...

Usually when I am in the shower Kailee just hangs out playing just outside the bathroom door, but this time she got into one of Ryans drawers and pulled out a permanent marker and all the cards from his wallet and decided to color! When I got out of the shower I realized I hadn't heard her for a while so I called for her and asked her what she was doing. She said coloring and then came into the bathroom with marker all over her hands. When I saw her I just thought oh man, what have you been doing. Then I walked into our bedroom to find she had colored all over Ryans stuff and my hope chest.... All I could do was laugh. Afterall, Ryan left the marker in reach of little curious hands and I was in the shower not watching her.... so, oh well! I had to leave everything where it was so Ryan could see it when he got home!! Lesson learned! Cute girl. You sure keep us on our toes!

Instead of going to our ward we went to Tawnies Stake Conference to watch John, little John and Emily sing in the choir. Emily had a solo in one of the last songs, If the Savior Stood Beside Me, and she did a wonderful job. Her voice is so pure and sweet and it brought tears to my eyes! I would love to hear her sing every Sunday!!  She is such a sweet girl.

I spent Monday and Tuesday working on my Activity Days lesson for Wednesday. After much frustration I finally decided to do a Family Home Evening kit. One of the requirements for the girls to get their award is to do a Family Home Evening for their families and to teach them about the First Vision and how Heavenly Father answers our sincere prayers. So I thought we would have a Family Home Evening and I would teach the lesson so they would know exaclty what to do for their own families. I put together a lesson, a lesson plan, activity ideas, and a recipe for treats. Then I got some cans from the home storage store and put all that stuff inside and decorated the cans with a ribbon and label.  I stayed up really late Tuesday night and then worked on it ALL day Wednesday. Ryan even got off work a little early to come home to help me finish it up. THEN, I went and did the activity and was totally disappointed. I spent waaaaaay too much time and put waaaaaay too much effort for the response I received. Again, lesson learned. Keep it simple!

On my way home from Activity Days, Ryan was headed to meet me at the church on his bike with Kailee and Ellie in tow. He met me back at home, got my bike out and we went on our first bike ride of the season. It was a little chilly but soooo nice to be outside. Kailee loves to go on a "bike ride" in the bike trailer and Ellie looked to be enjoying it as well. It was fun and I for sure learned how OUT OF SHAPE I am. I was so winded and worn out, but it felt good. We are looking forward to it getting warmer so we can be outside more.

Friday Kailee kept asking me to wrap her up as a peanut (we've called her that since she was born because when she was swaddled she looked like a peanut). Then she wanted me to wrap her up with her baby and then she put her and her baby in the baby stroller. Cute kid comes up with the silliest ideas! I had to grab the camera to get a picture of her and then she kept asking me to take a picture of her sweet little baby too.

And, here's these pictures. Just because I think she's cute!
I have started to put Ellie in her crib when she's tired so she can fall asleep on her own. I have found her a few times holding onto her toys while sleeping. Cute kid!
