Daddy Day!

By
Summer for us means Daddy is BUSY!  :(  As a result we have been craving daddy time lately.  Lucky for us, with the 4th of July came a 4 day weekend!  The Friday after the 4th we decided to go on a little family adventure.  It took a lot of debating, but we finally decided to check out a local children's museum called Habitot.  We got our passes free through the library which was an added bonus.  After a pillow fight, wrestling, and daddy's famous pancakes, loaded up and headed out.  

The museum was pretty cool.  Much smaller than I expected.  Parking was kind of a pain, but we found a metered spot on the street.  It had a 2 hr limit so we had originally planned to come back and add to it, but after only 45 minutes of being there both Jeff and I knew we would not be staying longer than 2 hrs.  I mean, the place was cool and the kids loved it, but as hard as it is for me to say... I think they are a little too old for it.  :(  Seriously, when did my toddlers become big kids?!?


They loved:
Climbing through the wiggle wall
Catching butterflies and leaves in the wind tunnel
Driving the firetruck
Creating & then destroying play dough
The water area (especially P)
The art area (especially Em)
And drawing on mom and dad's faces

It was a fun day, but after an hour and a half we were all done and decided to get lunch at one of our favorite places...

FENTONS!


P was VERY excited, he is definitely our child.  :)

Daddy days are the best days!

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...
