Swimsuits, Sprinklers & Summer...?

By
The first day of March did not really feel like March at all.  
The weather was so nice we decided to spend it outside.  
It started out just swinging on the tire swing while I vacuumed out the car.  
Then the kids started playing with the hose and decided to go put their swimsuits on.  
So then I decided to wash the car while the kids played with the water table.  
Then we invited friends to come play with us and busted out the sprinklers.
Then the fun really began!


 Snacks and Silly Faces

More sprinkler fun

When running through the sprinklers and Popsicle break is a must! 

Then we just got crazy and busted out the slip-n-slide


The kids loved it.  They had a blast!


 I didn't document it, but we had even more friends come join the fun.  They brought bubbles and bikes.  Needless to say the kids had PLENTY to do and they LOVED IT!  


We are blessed with some amazing friends!
We sure do love them!


I am not exaggerating when I say we were outside for
6 hrs straight.

I am so anxious for summer!  Especially with the gloomy weather we are having this week.
Sure I had tons of things I should have been doing inside.  Cleaning, cooking, laundry... but I will take playing outside with my kids over the messy house ANY DAY! 

So rain rain go away, me and the sun want to play!

Oh my gosh what a perfect day. We have had a few sunny days in the high 40's low 50's and the girls keep asking if we can pull out their water hop scotch. I tell them no it is too cold. Now the rain and gloom is back. We are ready for Mr. Sunshine to pay us a visit so we can spend 6 hours outside playing!!

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...
