Friends (10/10/16)

Today for Adrianne's birthday a group of us went out for lunch.  It was so great to be surrounded by friends and just enjoy each others company.  I have missed socializing with just the girls.  How grateful I am for friends.

Big Brother (10/10/16)

Today we went to the aquarium.  I was so proud of Porter.  He generally always finds kids to play with, but a lot had just left, so he came to me saying there was no one to play with.  I told him to ask Jonas to play.  So he turned to Jonas and said, "Jonas, will you play with me?" Then off they went.  They ran around the play place and Porter helped Jonas get up to the really high parts.  He would lift him up and bring him along.  They had so much fun together.  Porter also watched out for him.  It made my heart smile.  I love those boys.

Lifting Jonas up to the next level.

More lifting to the top.

Watching the Penguins.

We had a great day today. We were all in good spirits and the boys were fabulous. It felt so good to just enjoy each other without people getting in trouble, being getting frustrated and yelling.

Songs (10/9/16)

Tonight while singing to the boys at bedtime I loved listening to Jonas pipe in with words to songs.  I was actually amazed at what he knows.  He knows parts of "High on the Mountain Top", "Teach Me to Walk in the Light, "I'm a Child of God" and "I Stand All Amazed".  I hope he always loves these songs.

Misc (10/4/16)

Story time at the library. I love that Jonas is big enough to go sit up front by Porter.

Playing at the park before swimming lessons.

Conference Weekend (10/1-10/2)

Conference weekend was great.  It always is.  Sometime I'll write about my favorite talks.

At Gayle's during the priesthood session while David went to the conference center with Gaylan.

Racing.

For FHE we had a lesson on letting our head control our body for good.  David put a helmet with a rope attached on the kid's heads to show them that their bodies will follow their heads.  Then the boys stared longingly at their treat until David said they could eat it.
