Leah's first Sunday as Primary President

This was Leah’s first Sunday as Primary President. Her counselors and secretary are all young, but impressively capable. She was missing a teacher so I helped out. I was just supposed to sit with the kids during sharing time. William and I sat together by ourselves on the back row, and there was a row of girls in front of us. William wanted very much to contribute to the discussion, but Leah’s first counselor, Marjorie, was calling on a young girl in front of us. William wasn’t sure if she was calling on the girl or on him, because the girl wasn’t answering. Finally, Marjorie said, “Okay, how about the cutie next to you.” William answered, “My Dad?!”
Later, Marjorie had the kids make Father’s Day cards, so I had to look away. He gave it to me after the class. It read, “Dear Dad: What I especially like about you is if I go to jail you can get me out. Love, William.”
Mitchell’s regular teacher was out of town, but he said he had gotten a substitute. He’s a very reliable guy so Leah’s sure he got one, but he just didn’t show up. So, I sat in on Mitchell’s class for a while as Brother Corasco prepared a lesson on the fly.
Leah was saying when we got home that it went pretty smooth, all in all, except for the teacher that didn’t show up. “Brother Rushton said he had gotten a substitute.” Oh! That was me!! He talked to me last week, and said he would send me an e-mail to remind me. So, I just put it out of my mind expecting to get an e-mail.
So anyway, I thought Leah did a great job on her first day.

How do you wear your lia sophia?

She loves to wear the boxes as bracelets!

Swim Party

We went to a family swim party last night (it was put on by some friends of Mitchell and William) and we had a great time. The weather was neither hot or cold, the water was warm, the sunset was beautiful, there was lots of good food, and friends. I had a hard time getting pictures because Shelby isn't scared to death of the pool like my boys were. I never worried about the boys jumping into the big pool (because they were scared to death of it). Shelby on the other hand would go up to the edge and talk to her brothers and she liked being in the pool. So I was afraid she might decide to jump in.

This is Mitchell playing a game with a beach ball and about 10 other boys

William and Peter hung out together all night.

Wesley finished swimming early because they closed the wadding pool.

This is the best picture I could get of Shelby because she either was running away from me all night or holding my hand. You can see the beautiful sunset int he background.

O Remember, Remember

Have I see the hand of God, today?




I love this! God blesses us all the time. Do we stop and recognize his hand in our life or are we to busy?

High Fashion

I think she is going to be a trend setter. All the toddlers are going to start wearing blu-ray jackets on their heads soon. I think she thinks it is a Tinkerbell crown.

What happens when you combine a mattress, a light, and a futon?
