Where did the Week Go?

Wow this week just flew by. How can it be that the last entry was made a week ago and I plug in my camera and I didn't take any pictures this week how terribly sad. I will repent this week and make an entry everyday. Here's a short summary of the highlights of the week. In no particular order, as to day or importance. Sorry that it's a list but it works.
  • FHE talked about how everyone in a family is affected by the actions of individual members and that each individual is unique and that each is needed. Each of us told what they thought was their best qualities. Lydia would say after each person yep and I'm awesome and I'm nice. We ended by discussing the roles of mothers and fathers. (Trying to help the boys pass of requirements for the Family life merit badge and the importance of the Proclamation on the family.)
  • For the youth activity they all wore green to a get to know you game night. I worked with the cubs making pine cone bird feeders with peanut butter and bird seed. Great Fun!
  • Talked to two different groups about Shirt orders and worked on art. Excited about getting into the spring and more shirt orders. Hopefully we can pay for the Jessy's tuition with money we earn from the shirts. Completed an order of 50 shirts. So excited.
  • Each day spring is popping out the Daffodils are in bloom the magnolia tree blooms are ready to burst out and the birds are chirping more. It feels so good in the 60s and 70s.
  • Saturday we worked in the yard. Raking leaves, cleaning out flower beds and picking up sticks and debris. Next weeks plan compost, flower planting, and mulch.
  • Lydia received the assignment of a talk for primary all day Saturday she refused saying that others knew how to do it better. On Sunday morning before church she refused saying she didn't want to do it. As primary was getting ready to begin I whispered in her ear that Nephi had to do hard things like build a boat and that she could do hard things like Nephi by giving a talk. She was convinced she could be like Nephi and did a great job on her talk with the help of her dad. Thank you inspiration.
  • Girls had their last basketball game of the season. Played their best game ever!!! Jessica's last yw game of her career.
  • Drove kids to the stake youth activity Skit in A Bag!
  • Primary Meetings for me and Ward Conference today! It was great to hear from president Hylton and the Bishop! the Choir sang one of my favorite songs Whenever I hear the song of a Bird! it was beautiful.
  • Austin pulled out his loose tooth in church and asked if I had a baggie to put it in. It's a little strange to be handed a baby tooth while your singing a hymn.

Looking Forward to another wonderful week!
