October Photo-dump

So I'm a little big behind in blogging as of late. And by a little I mean A LOT!! Every time I sit down to blog I either end up not doing or write about something other than what we have been up to. I am excited to report that I have received my 3rd blurb blog-to-book. It is so awesome to have all my post in a hard bound book! Thank you groupon for you awesome deal that made me purchase them and thank you deadline that made me actually get them done. Since I have that all done (one for each year of my blog) I can get back to my actual blogging.

I'd love to do a post on all of these things, but for now this will have to do.

We started ABC school. Do you think P is enjoying it? (Thanks for the picture Liz)


Today I hosted letter B. It was only our third week doing it, but we had a blast. We made a Bumble-bee out of the letter B and we made Bats our of our hands to celebrate Halloween. Today was a little crazy, but I still think they got a lot out of it.

Finally took Em to the Doctor for her 15 month check (now that she is 17 months old). She is still is ridiculously under weight, but is at least gaining. The petite little girl is in the 1% for kids her age. And at almost 18 months still weighs less than P did at 6 months. She is a mere 18.8 lbs. But she is right on track with every thing else. Her motor skills are a little too good for me. She is starting to climb ladders, cabinets, beds, couches, chairs, literally anything she can she does. Most times I walk into the kitchen she is standing on the table. Crazy kid! She is really starting to talk more which is fun. My favorite thing right now is if you ask her "Where'd it go?" She lifts her hands and says "I don't know." Adorable!

The only advice the Doc gave me was to let her start feeding herself ....

Thanks for that idea Doc.

Needless to say, Em needs multiple baths a day.

I gave Em her second hair cut. It was really just a trim about an inch or so.

I think she is pretty excited about it. I always forget to do the before picture (hence the awesome/gross picture of the pile of cut hair). You can kind of see how it looks in the mirror reflection. It is obviously not perfect, but I think it came out pretty good.

We had one apparently random/fluke week of fall weather. This past week has been in the 80's at least. I'm not complaining, summer is my favorite so it can last as long as it wants in my book! But the one day it rained we tried out our new rain boots. Have I told you that P LOVED to jump in puddles? It could be one inch in diameter and he still sprints to it jumps into it. Em's boots are still a little big hence her not moving a muscle from this awesome power-stance I placed her in. I am excited for more big puddle jumping to come and I think they are excited too!
Well that will have to do for now. Stay tuned for:
  • Ragnar
  • Triathlon
  • Trip to Utah
  • Rock City
  • Corn Maze
  • September fun
  • And a Summer Wrap up.

Bec thank you for an update! I feel like I am trying to squeeze every last drop of enthusiasm from your post because I am severely deprived in energy these days and love hearing about your life and your passion for it. Thanks for sharing!

The Light of the World

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...
