Stay-cation

So Jeff was able to take a week off a couple of weeks ago. I have a TON to say about it, but for now Just thought I'd put up a few pictures until I have more time to blog.

The highlight of the week was going to The Children's Discovery Museum. We got free passes from the Library, which I'm grateful for because it rather expensive ($11 a piece starting at age 6 months!) The entire place is made for children ages 6 months to I think about 5 years old. It was AMAZING! Seriously, if we lived closer I would get a season pass and take the kids at least once a week because it seriously was that great! Hopefully we can go again soon. The kids L.O.V.E.D it! But I'll do an entire post on it another day.

They had so many different things for the kids to do from playing in a stream with fish and frogs, to climbing on things, and even painting on the walls. There really is even so much more than that, but again I'll do another post on it. For now, trust me ... it is AWESOME!
Did you know if I put a bucket of water on our porch and give my kids a few cups they will entertain themselves for 2 hours. AWESOME! I'm keeping this on in mind!
We also made it to the beach one day. I am bummed because our camera battery died right after I took this picture, but this was the best day at the beach EVER!!! Our kids had a blast and didn't want to leave. P is still scared to death of the water, but I at least taught him how to chase the waves with me and he loved that. Em on the other hand, was ridiculously hyper, doing an almost evil chuckle the whole time we were there as she ran toward and into the water over, and over, and over again. It was awesome. So much fun! I wish we had our video camera this time but we were not planning on going to the beach so we were unprepared. But i'm SOOOOO glad we decided to go because it was so much fun. Now I can hardly wait to go back!
Went on a little ocean look out, the kids liked it but I'm not going to lie, this path on the top of a cliff SCARED US TO DEATH! Needless to say, we didn't stay long lest our kids would want to "explore" which basically meant falling off the cliff into the ocean. I'm happy to report are still a family of 4. :)
Honestly, the best part of the week was just having Daddy around. P and Em just loved it and the following Monday was extra hard because they were asking "Where Daddy" all day long which kinda broke my heart, but I'm really happy they were able to have a solid 9 days with their daddy. It was a great week!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
