Small World

By

A few weeks back - and by a few weeks I mean almost 2 months - we decided to have a fun family day at Small World Park.  Jeff had been out of town and we needed some serious family fun.  We had heard of this place a long time ago and finally decided to check it out.  I must say, it was awesome!  Especially for the price you pay.  Way better than Pixiland, which happens to be just around the block from us, where you go and spend a small fortune and can maybe, just maybe make it last 20 minutes.  Seriously disheartening. But this place kids are $3 for entrance and an unlimited ride wristband.  That would get us on the train one time at Pixiland. Not joking.  And I'm not trying to dis Pixiland here, heaven knows we've been there a ton and the kids love it.  The pricing is just ridiculous though.    


Anyway, here are some snapshots of our day there.


They do a mandatory lunch break which we didn't mind one bit.  We had a picnic, played Frisbee, and even played on one of the 10 play structures they have there.  It was awesome.  A beautiful setting, with tons of space and lots of trees.  Love it!


One of the highlights of the day was Jeff spinning around and around in this silly contraption.  I did it once and he was laughing so hard.  Then our friend did it again and really got it going.  It was so funny!


Some of our buddies joined us for the day and provided us with most of these awesome pictures.  Thanks Erin!  It was such a blast.  Em & E are so stinking cute together.  I cannot get over it!


Thank you Small World Amusement Park!  We will be visiting you again!

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...
