Fun with Us!!

Riley is now officially a Wolf Cub Scout! He had his first meeting last Thursday. He now does not need a parent to go to every meeting with him! CRAZY, how did he get so grown up!!

Fern just cracks me up! :) When she is quite shocked and surprised she will say "oh my goodness" or "what the heck" and then do this! :)
Sorry these next three are a little fuzzy! :)

This week I introduced embroidery to the kids, they had a blast!!

Riley was concentrating so hard!
This went over wonderfully, they had a great time! I was able to get the "Creative Family" book on my dream list (down on the right) from the library, and now I want it even more! It was fantastic!! She suggested using burlap to start learning needlework which was perfect!! So I would highly recommend it! Plus it was a great read! :)

In our kitchen I put up a short scripture that we then work as a family to memorize. Riley is totally pro at this, and Jake seems to memorize it without saying it out loud very much! When everyone memorizes it we all go out for a treat, ice cream bars this time!

So here is Jake saying the scripture!

And here is a surprise! When the boys where saying the scripture to show us they knew it (so we could run out and get ice cream) Fern just started saying it! She completely surprised us! She usually will say it with us when we say it as a family, but who would expect an almost 3 year old to be able to do that!! We were blown away! So here she is!

Last night we got to have dinner and FHE with some friends down the hill. Here are the kids, Jake, Max, Mimi, Fern, & Riley in the tent, I read them THIS great story out of the Friend! (If you go to www.friend.lds.org in the upper right corner you can view the Oct. Friend in PDF format and see the lovely pictures that go with the story!)

I can't wait until this weekend for General Conference!!!
