Example shmample

Boy howdy, teaching by example! So true so true especially when you least expect it. Today Kennedy & I were on the couch snuggling when all of a sudden she starts doing sit-ups. Counting and all. She did 10 full sit ups, then several crunches after that. She even then pulled me on the floor to "teach" me how to do sit-ups, not the crunches but the full sit-ups and had me do 10.

Rusty, came home today so excited about running a mile. They have this goal at school that if you run so many miles you'll get a card and once you get 3 cards, your name will be entered into a drawing for an I-Pod. Mind you each card is 10 miles, so that means he has to run 30 miles to even be entered into the drawing. He can run up to 10 cards (don't ask, the math doesn't equate, this is coming from an 8yr old). Anyway, he is now excited. He even has another kid "training" him to be faster so he can get all 10 cards done by before the drawing. He even asked me to run with him. I'm so not a runner. I can do spin, I can do the elliptical trainer, lift weights, but run? Must be kidding, but of course, I'll run w/my Rusty. Anything to encourage him and keep him motivated. Heck, it'll be another excuse to exercise which is become a HUGE love of mine. Plus, I get to spend one on one time w/Rusty which is the best reward EVER!!! We don't get much one on one time since he's in school. Glad to see he has found something he's starting to love.

Who needs a rollar coaster?

Obviously not Kennedy. We were on our way home this morning from taking Rusty to school. When Kennedy asked to have all the windows down (normally we do, to enjoy the cooler weather, but today we didn't because she's not feeling good). So I appeased her and all of a sudden, there she was being a spaz and screaming with her arms as high as she can get them screaming yippy, weeeeee as loud as she could. I wish I could have taken a picture, but in the interest of safety, I chose otherwise. No need for another car accident. It was so funny.

On another note, Rusty's been asking a lot about Prop 102 and why people would want to go against God and marry within the same sex. It has been quite amazing as I've been able to really teach a lot of Gospel principles. I got to explain again, that the Lord loves the sinner not the sin. Today was especially good and I was in tears as the Spirit was really strong and he even got teary eyed. We both vowed to do a little better to please Heavenly Father and Jesus since after all he made the HUGEST SACRIFICE for us. My Rusty is growing up so fast.

I'M BACK IN FULL SWING

Well, I'm back in full swing of my weight loss. Since my weight loss has been m.i.a. I've unfortunately put on 6 lbs. YUCK!!! I feel gross, which in turn has me eating, which I feel gross. It's a vicious cycle. I decided yesterday, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! I don't want those pounds. So I'm getting rid of them + tons more. I hit the gym hard and I'm signing back up for more spin classes to get my going. I'm back to being way motivated and stronger than before. I'd like to have another baby so I need to hit this harder than ever before. Hopefully, the Lord will bless us with another angel.

I have so many other things to post about along with pictures of some of the fun things the kids & I have been up to. So look for those.

Recording God's Blessings for Future Reassurance

"When our children were very small, I started to write down a few things about what happened every day. Let me tell you how that got started. I came home late from a Church assignment. It was after dark. My father in law, who lived near us, surprised me as I walked toward the front door. . . . I knew that he had been building a system to pump water from a stream below us up to our property."He smiled, spoke softly, and then rushed past me into the darkness to go on with his work. I took a few steps toward the house, thinking of what he was doing for us, and just as I got to the door, I heard in my mind--not in my own voice--these words: 'I'm not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down.'"I went inside. I didn't go to bed. Although I was tired, I took out some paper and began to write. And as I did, I understood the message I had heard in my mind. I was supposed to record for my children to read, someday in the future, how I had seen the hand of God blessing our family. Grandpa didn't have to do what he was doing for us. . . . But he was serving us, his family, in the way covenant disciples of Jesus Christ always do. I knew that was true. And so I wrote it down, so that my children could have the memory someday when they would need it.

"Henry B. Eyring, "O Remember, Remember," Ensign, Nov. 2007, 66 67

GO BLOGS!!! I need to do better about writing about the everyday stuff.

This and that

I have so not been good at keeping up with my weight loss. I've lost my focus and my drive, so I'm putting it out there for any and all help. I was on quite a roll until we went camping several weeks back and haven't gotten back on track. HELP PLEASE!!!

Last night our ward had an amazing adult fall social. It sure was fall night. It was quite chilly. We prayed for the wind to die down and guess what??? It did!! See, Heavenly Father does answer prayers. The night was fabulous. GO DIANA & her committee. We have a carnival just for the adults. It was so much fun, I so want to do the moon jump again, what a work-out.

Since it was an adult fall social, my parent took the kids overnight, since we didn't know how late we would be gone. It was so nice to come home to quiet. So nice to go to church and be able to listen, however, this Sunday was incredibly noisy in sacrament. I missed my kids at church, especially after the block when they come into the Relief Society room and tell me all the things they learned in class. I didn't get that part today. Instead we picked up the kids who are incredibly sleep deprived (love slumber parties @ Nana's). Rusty is sick & fell asleep in our bed about 4pm, & Kennedy was bouncing off the walls & wouldn't settle down until almost 9pm, you'd think she ate sugar & drank Pepsi. What a great Sunday. I love having my family together.

I'm so ready for this cooler weather. I'm excited to save some $$ on electricity, windows open, fall activities, warmer clothes. HEY, I get to wear warmer clothes without looking to HUGE. YEAH ME!!! Bummer, I got some cute sweaters for Christmas last year that will be to big, that's okay. I'll pass them along.

Anyway, enjoy!

YES ON PROP 102!

HECK YEAH ON PROP 102, SAVE THE FAMILY, ONE MAN & ONE WOMAN!

SORRY, GOT MY WORDING MIXED UP, I'M SO GOOD AT THAT!

NO ON PROP 102

For any of you who live in Arizona, should be aware of Prop 102 by now. This is so important to the future of our children. As we raise our children we've already had to discuss the issue w/Rusty who is only 8. I just explained about a man marring another man. Rusty quickly said that's not how God wants it! YEAH, go Rusty. I then explained that our loving Heavenly Father loves all his children just not the sin.

SO PLEASE GO AND VOTE, THIS ELECTION IS SO VITAL TO OUR COUNTRY.

Save the Family!
