The BIG 4!

By
And no... i'm not talking about accounting. ;)


Seriously people, how can it be?  This little girl is 4 years old.  Really I shouldn't be surprised, I mean, she has been acting like she was 16 ever since she was 2.  But 4 just seems so, so... old.  She really isn't a toddler anymore, although if i'm honest she never acted like a toddler anyway.  She's been walking, talking clearly and climbing forever.  And now she know all of her letters (big and little), can count to nearly 100, can add small numbers, is an amazing artist, and can spell and write Mom, Dad, Emily, Parker, and Riley without any assistance. She has been miss independent from the beginning.

We sure had a blast celebrating her.  It started with waking up to decorations and doughnuts with daddy.  We had a family birthday with all the grandmas, grandpas, great-grandparents, and uncles.  We were just missing Aunt Rachel and Uncle Dallas.  It was a blast.  Her birthday fell on memorial day so we had a BBQ and spoiled this little miss rotten and she loved every minute of it.

The celebration continued throughout the week as daddy took it off work.  We went on all sorts of little adventures, but mostly just soaked up our time with daddy.  We ended the week with her friends party.  FROZEN themed of course.
We played: 
Pin the Noes on Olaf
Snowball toss
Melt the Frozen Heart
Ice Painting
Snowball fight (with old stale marshmellows)
AND
Sang along to Let it Go (of course)

(Sounds like a lot but it was really easy and I had everything on hand aside from Olaf.  The kids helped me draw him and cut out the carrots themselves.  I think they really liked planning and helping get everything ready. 

The food was a cinch too:|
Olaf's Nose = Carrot
Olaf's buttons = Olives
Olaf's Arms = Pretzle sticks
Snowflake sandwhich = PB&J and Christmas cookie cutters
Kristoff's Ice Blocks = Jello Jigglers
Frozen Grapes
Snowman String Cheese 
The kid's LOVED it!  When Em and I were coming up with the food and activities I could just see her face light up.  It was such a blast throwing this little party and celebrating the amazing, smart, energetic, funny, sneaky, creative Emily.

Happy 4th Birthday Em!  
You sure do light up our lives in every way,
We Love You!

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...
