The sign of change

Today I found out that only six percent of the kids at the primary school my children go to have seen the sound of music. I mean seriously....I bet all of them know of Naruto and dora..but NEVER the Sound of Music. It sorta made me sad. Today in class my child was the only one who knew all the words to Do Re Mi. I mean all the words...Like Julie Andrews version.

Anyway..today I found this on my friends blog...sorta fitting I guess.

If you haven't seen Sound of Music...go see it. Have your kids see it. If you need to borrow it..we have it on DVD and video..not to mention the soundtrack on itunes AND Cd.

A balance diet

Heh mom is cereal good for you.

Sure!

Zero fats..but OMG Cholesterol.

What? Cereal doesn't have cholesterol!

It says it right here on the box!

What, show me.

the peacefulness of wednesday

I love Wednesdays!
I love that it is the middle of the week...and sorta the transition towards the weekend
It is church for tyra and I
It is the one day out of the week that we do not have soccer!
It is the one day during the week that I don't feel rushed to do anything.
Since church does not start until six thirty..our entire afternoon is spent doing nothing!
Wednesdays, wendy's has kids meals for free here on the island...which means no cooking!

So every week, when I wake up on wednesday I feel a sense of happiness!
Besides wednesday happiness...other things are happening here...
Yes, her first tooth out!

Exhausted

Why am I SO exhausted? Now it is a normal day for me to go like a machine from 5 thirty or so...till easily nine thirty or ten at night..but yesterday...alli wanted to do was sleep. OH and my house so shows signs of my lazy!

Maybe it's cause I didn't get a Sunday off? Tyra had games on saturday AND sunday. really we have soccer everyday except for wednesday...but we have church on those days.

I am just complaining today. So let's hope we have energy today. I went to sleep at eight thirty..after I napped for about an hour during the day..So I am going to bhip..and move on!

Wish me luck!

Can daddy swim?

Do people that go on boats have to know how to swim?
Me: No they don't honey.
Can daddy swim?
Me: Well, I think daddy can swim.
I dunno, he always is only standing up in the pool and when we go to the beach.
Me: I think we won't have to worry about him needing to swim.
OH, I know why you said that mom. He won't wanna take swimming lessons from you. Dads don't like it when mom's know more then them!

Be safe Ry.

Pre game prayers.

We are a praying family. It's what we do. We pray for everything....


So of course, pre game, my children and I gather..and I start...
Dear kind gracious Heavenly Father, we are thankful for this blessed day and the time that we can spend together as a family. We are grateful for all the blessings you have put in our lives and we ask that you continue to protect us and keep us safe. We are thankful for the gospel that is alive in our lives and that we pray that daddy learns the truth about your Heavenly Father. We pray that Traysea and Nanea have a great game today and that everyone out here stays safe. We pray that everyone is safe when they return home..

Traysea: Mom I have something I would like to add.

Okay Tray, go ahead...and then end our prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, please have the Holy Spirit be with us so we can DOMINATE the other team! We say these things in the name of your son Jesus Christ AMEN


SO maybe I am pushing my kids a little to hard in sports! OH well..SHE dominated! And then she thanked the Holy Spirit!
