Book Club and Such

For Book Club this month we read "Daughters of God" by M. Russell Ballard. It was an easy read - based on three talks previously given by M. Russell Ballard all about our divine roles as women. He focused a lot on motherhood and it was a nice reminder on how important we are and the power we have been given. My favorite part had to do with enjoying a little more, even if it means getting a little less done. As our kids are only young once. It was also nice to be reminded how important it is to take time for ourselves, away from our kids and household responsibilities once in awhile to replenish our wells. I really enjoyed our discussion the other night, thanks Cylee for letting us stay so late. I came away feeling so much better about myself and my kids. It's nice to be reminded that we all have very similar experiences and struggles with our kids. I so enjoy the support and suggestions I get from these gatherings.

This is how I am spending most of my time today.

I was accused of revolting, or maybe I should say asked if I was revolting last night, as someone ran out of clean clothes. Don't get me wrong it wasn't done in a mean fashion, more of as a joke, and they actually started a load by themselves. However, in my defense it has only been a week, maybe 8 days at the most (since I am wearing my last pair of underclothes and I have 9 pairs). I can't help it if someone wears more than one pair a day (and has two weeks worth). In his defense he has been doing a lot of work out in the heat and in the dirt. I was just taking the advice of the apostle mentioned above. We enjoyed a little more ........playing with friends at the park yesterday and a little less staying home doing laundry.

Noah's summer haircut. We finally talked him into letting us buzz him for the summer. He's so excited to be just like Wyatt and Dayton, as well as other boys in the ward.I promise I was not torturing him in the photo.

"I don't want to go to High School!" Some how Noah has got it in his head that I am trying to send him to High School and "I'm just too little for High School." I've tried to convince him that he is going to start preschool this fall. His response "I don't want to go by myself." I guess we have all summer to work on this. I'm so excited, a group of us moms have gotten together to form a little parent co-op preschool.
