Jan. week 2 - Call the Sabbath a delight

My parents came up for Sunday dinner

With a cute chair from Grandma Pat

which the kids totally love

One day I was almost starting to panic when Cash didn't answer being called and I couldn't find him anywhere.  
I found him asleep on the floor here over a heater vent.

cute brother pop up in the strangest places

Lego time!

We built this heart with the core of the gospel, the two great commandments:
Love the Lord and Love thy neighbor.
It really is that simple.

He built a cool Lego truck.

Jade shoveling snow.

Troy pulling Greg and Paul in a sled behind the ATV.

Fun times

Cash on the yellow 4-wheeler at the back

Wrestling time with Dad!

Pretending to be some of the sixteen glowing stones (See story in Ether)



These shirts are particularly fun in the black light


The picture don't do it justice.

We are LOVING ready Little House in the Big Woods at night right now.
Greg took the older three kids to the rodeo while I stayed home and put Paul to bed early and enjoyed a night of meditation with the Lord.

Scripture: Isaiah 58:13-14 "If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord...

Jan. week 1 - weak things strong

Cute matching brothers...

down to their adorable worker-man boots!

New kids reading corner

New arrangement of furniture in front room


New picture in our bedroom

Washing the windows in the kitchen after the ceiling demolition.  Right side is 'after', top left is 'before'.

more hidden demolition remains (under the stove)



Troy walking to the front in the blue isle at his school assembly


because he was chosen by his teacher to be student of the month for his class.

Paul ran up to congratulate him.

Troy and Jade built a puzzle together


Greg and Cash built a wall together (in matching tool belts)


It turns out puppets make pretty good slippers, too.

Fun family movie party watching "Holes" - love that movie for some reason. 
We also cleaned the church Saturday morning as a family, which our kids love doing and were actually very helpful with this time.  AND I found the church's missing nursery keys finally :)
We went to Pizza Pie Cafe as a family, too.

Scripture: Ether 12:27 "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.  I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things strong unto them."
