Lots of fun events

We have been so stinkin busy for pretty much the last few months, and I don't see any sign of it changing. I get a little overwhelmed sometimes, that it is soooooo busy! Well Connor and Ashley were asked to be in a Fireside for a theme of "Our Responsibility for the Children of a Noble Birthright" It was awesome! the kids practiced for the last 7 weeks and sang this beautiful song with women and girls of all ages. there was only 30 people asked from the whole stake, so it was a great Honor for the kids. They aren't great singers, but they did awesome. You could hear Connor's sweet voice the whole time. Tink was cute as can be. My mom came, which we were so happy to have her. Thanks Nana for coming to all the kids things that you can. We feel very lucky to have such great kiddos. They are the cream of the crop!

Our stake pres. Brown said somthing that has always been a discussion in our home, that you should not have to many other extracurricular SPORTS on your kids schedule. I totally agree. He says the focus of the family gets interupted. I totally agree. Piano or Musical lessons, scouts, acheivement days ( which ashley is already attending sometimes) and Fhe should be the family centered activities. We do all of those and I am thankful we haven't gotten the kids into all the stuff that isn't necessary. David thinks sports are important, I just feel like they shouldn't be the focus. Anyway. It was a wonderful fireside and many things were learned and taught to us and I am greatful for the church. They give us so many tools to be better parents and better friends, and better Christ centered people ! ETHAN CONNOR AND TINK AFTER CHURCH ANd they still looked decent
