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

January 6th- January 12 2013

Sunday was Stake Conference. I had every intention to go. Ryan ended up working about 40 overtime hours over the weekend so we ended up sleeping in until about 9:30am. Oops. We stayed home and had a nice relaxing day. This is what we spent our time doing. I was watching a movie, Ellie was making a design out of glow sticks, Kailee played on the IPad and Ryan played on the computer. That all ended when I had to get to a Youth Meeting at the church at 3pm. 



Kailee feeding the dogs. She loves it. She asks several times a day if she can feed the dogs. At first she was getting the dog food with her hand. I tried to show her how to get it with the dog bowl, but she could't quite get it. So, she has a handy plastic cup now. Good job Kailee.

Kailee has learned how to spell and write her name at preschool. She made her name out of our Jenga blocks one night. Seriously, I am so impressed with how much she has learned from preschool. I was hesitant to enroll her because I didn't just want to pay for a babysitter. Miss Jackie and Miss Courtney are far from just babysitters. My baby girl has learned a ton at their school.

Ryan started the new semester on Tuesday. He is talking Math 1050 and an online computer class. I am so glad he has the desire to get his degree. I know it will pay off. On the other hand, it is so hard to have him gone all day to work and then all night at school. This semester it is only Tues & Thurs. Hopefully it will go by quickly.

This week at preschool they learned about the letter W. Kailee brought home her weather wheel and her worm. She keeps telling me that "when the sun is out, it is warm. When there are clouds, it is cold." She loves school. She loves to ride to school with Carlee on Tuesdays and Amber on Thursdays. She LOVES to ride home with Ghislaine. I have surprised her 2 times by picking her up from school. Not a good surprise. She loves to ride with her friends. I am so glad she has had this opportunity to be a part of a group.

It has snowed and snowed and snowed this week. While Kailee was at dance Friday morning, I ran over to Dicks with Ellie to get me some snow boots so we could play in the snow when Kailee got home. I LOVE it when it snows a lot. If it's going to be cold, it better snow. If it's just cold there is no point to get outside. BUT, if it snows, it is a MUST to get outside!

Kailee tried to throw a snowball at me, but it just fell apart. The snow is so powdery there is no way to pack it to make a snowball or a snowman. But, it is still fun to play in.

Kenzie came out to play with us. We invited her over after dance, but she didn't want to play in the snow. She wanted to play in our house. I guess she changed her mind once her mom took her home.
Amber is in the background shoveling a path to her mailbox. After the girls got cold and went inside, I stayed out to re-shovel our walks and driveway approach. Amber came over and pretty much did it for me. Her and Jesse amaze me. They are so kind and thoughtful. They are always doing things for others. They are fabulous neighbors.

I asked Ryan to shovel off the deck on Saturday. We got a lot of snow.

We took the girls tubing. The Lawson's had planned to go too. So we met them there. Kailee was excited, but after a couple of runs got grumpy. We aren't sure why. Kenzie had started to throw a fit too. We think that had something to do with Kailee's attitude.? She was having a lot of fun and then just started throwing a fit. Ellie was really hesitant and didn't want to go down the hill. After watching a couple times she wanted to try. She loved it. 

Kailee kept crying so we decided to leave. She was throwing a fit and wanted dad. He had gone down the hill to get Ellie. I quickly put her in a tube and sent her down the hill. She was not happy with me and was screaming. 

Kailee bumped into Ellie's tube and knocked her out of it. Poor Ellie did a face plant right in the snow. It was hilarious but she was not happy about it. Kailee is in the background still throwing a fabulous fit. 

When we got home, I pulled the tube out of the car and started to play on the hill we made in our front yard. Soon the girls calmed down and wanted to play too. They eventually got too cold so we headed for the bathtub. Ryan went to get pizza and we spent the rest of the day inside. The girls kept themselves entertained by making a bed on the sofa table. I love it when they are kind to each other. What a fun week. It was even more fun since we were actually able to spend some time with Ryan since he worked all last weekend!
