Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned Part two

I came across this video at a time I think I needed it most. These are a few of the thoughts I had. What were some of yours?

I think there quite a few lessons that can be taught from this story. First and probably the most obvious is that we need to always be generous to others. Second, while a simple joke may be funny to some, it's not always funny to others and we never know what situation they may be in physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Third, teaching by example is usally the best method and the lesson learned is often more valuable.

Brinley had her Valentine's dance. I put this picture up because I love it and she'd probably kill me if I put one of her dancing with a boy:) We received her registration papers for 7th grade. weird huh? She's really excited right now because she was able to get her point shoes in ballet. Here come the blisters. ouch! Baylee, however, hurt her knee in dance and has to have it wrapped. It just popped out of place and she fell on her wrist. I probably should have had her wrist x-rayed, but she says it feels a little better. Oh! This was fun. Trek said in seminary last week, they got "called on missions". He opened his and guess where he went? Mexico! funny huh? He said it got him excited. Whitney is busy with school. She has the Spring Fling dance coming up. It's a casual dance, thank goodness, because it's girl's choice again. Trek has been asked by several girls if he's 16 yet cuz they wanted to take him. He just misses the dance by a week or so. But he'll be able to go to prom. Again, very weird. It's fun the kids are growing up, but so crazy!
Happy blogging! We love you all! Love, "R" gang :D

Count down/up

I am working on finding a missionary ticker for Steven. I don't really want a count down, but more like how long he has been out! Chuck and Amy, if you want a different countdown then just find one you like better, I didn't really know where to look. If anyone else wants a countdown just let me know! There are lots of cute ones for prom, graduation, etc.

I am glad we have this thing going! I think it will be a lot of fun to share information with the family as soon as it happens and show lots of picture!

Love you all!
