Well it's time to watch the 2nd session of conference (an hour ago) but with Tivo we can watch it whenever we like!~ So we will turn it on soon and then head to gma and pa's house for dinner!
I am making our sweet pork and burritos for dinner (dont think it is gpa's favorite) but everybody else loves it.
the treasurer next week, 3 days. So I need things to be calm up in my world! I will be getting all the money from the community center, golf course and city hall. Counting it and depositing it. I am scheduled to do it again for 1 week the end of May too.
I feel very blessed right now. All the kids seem to be on the right track and there is generally a good feeling in our home. The girls practice the piano each morning (and Dallas has started rewarding them with mini choco bars for getting up without a fuss and doing their practice, which has helped them to be motivated I think!) The boys are both Pres. of their quorums at church and seem to be really striving to do what is right and be good examples. It is a very comforting feeling to know they are doing the right thing.
Dallas had a date yesterday. A girl, flute player, asked him out to laser tag and dinner. He hasn't said a ton. Had a good time but he doesn't REALLY really like her, ya know? It was a triple date so there were 3 couples and the other couples actually went to the movie Hunger Games after all the other activity. He came home and went to priesthood with his brother and dad.
We girls have continued selling our G.S. Cookies (2 dozen more during games yesterday morning) and the girls are really enjoying soccer. They are both really talented defensive players. Holly loves to goalie, Katie playes that corner position just above the goalie. Katie has gotten with a bunch of really talented girls and they won basketball and looks like they may win soccer. Mostly the same bunch of girls. She is anxiously awaiting her plaque from bb and hopes to get another for soccer.
Last night we went to the D.I. and the girls picked out new dresses. They were $3 each. They were pretty excited. Dad will have to send you the pix, they are on my camera. We also found some fancy curlers that heat up in 4 minutes. Hopefully they will start taking more of a role in doing their own hair. That's the idea, anyway!
We watched the conferences and they were really good. From what I can tell the underlying theme is to keep the commandments, teach our children to keep the commandments and we will be happy. I think overall the members are not doing prayer, scripture study, pondering, etc. And we need to get back to the basics and repent and move toward Christ. We need to stop envying what others have and be thankful for all we have. The girls were challenged in primary to write down the name of each speaker and write/draw a pix with one sentence or idea from each talk. Holly sat through 6 hours of conference so far and hasn't missed a talk! I have helped her write down the names and tell her what to draw but she is really trying! The girls played bingo too...pix of church, prophets, temple etc. They have to cover each idea when they see or hear it and try to get bingo. They are available at lds.org if you know any kids in your area that would help. It's pretty cool. Then you can give little treats when they get bingo!
Anyway...time to get busy making our tortillas and watching last session and heading out of here!
Love you and hope you are doing great! XOXO Mom.
