  • Did 2 loads of laundry
  • Visited with G&G Politis
  • Did lots of dishes
  • and we some how managed to play with the kids too!  They were happy all day!
Let me just say, it was an AWESOME day!  It feels so good to be so productive.  It feels so good to spend the whole day with my family.  It feels good to be me!

The kids were so great today.  The story of the bed is kind of a long story, so I'll save that for a separate post.  But the kids LOVE it!  I'm a little worried, because it is a loft bed, but it is only 3 1/2 feet off the ground and it has good walls so that helps.  Parker keeps saying "This bed is so cool!"  "This bed has a ladder AND a slide!"  "I love my new bed!"  Em on the other hand, when she was getting ready for bed kept asking for her bed.  Now I feel kind of bad.  :(  But we didn't have all the pieces to it and she is just getting to big for it since I can't get it to go lower.  She kept getting her legs stuck between the slats, and P kept getting in there and jumping like crazy, it was time.  I didn't think she would care, I thought she would be excited about her new bed too, but she was so sad when she asked for her bed tonight.  Hopefully when we get her a new mattress and some cool sheets {probably Dora} she will be more ready and excited.  I am not quite ready to play the jack-in-the-box game when she starts sleeping in her big girl bed.  Really not looking forward to that.  For now, she wants the pack-n-play and I am totally fine with that.  

Well, it is getting late and the Easter bunny still needs to stop by.  But really, awesome day!  I just wanted to write it down and remember, so sorry it was a little boring to read.  Hope you have a very wonderful Easter tomorrow!

When we transitioned Emi and Nate inot the same bedroom with bunk beds I talked about it for weeks before. Mostly because I was terrified it would be a battle. But it was a breeze! I think all the talking about it helped with the transition. It sure went a lot smoother than Nate's transition to a big boy bed a few years back.
Whenever Emi climbs into bed (a month after the initial transition) she'll says, "Make girl bed!" because for weeks I told her we'd make her a big girl bed.

And WOW you had a busy day! You are a rockstar! Are you sure that was one day? That is seriously impressive!

Reading your list made me exhausted! Good work.

We got macey and miles bunk beds, but have yet to transition Miles out of the crib. I figure I'll keep him in there as long as possible! I have a feeling he won't be as easy as Macey was.

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

By
  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...
