Passing Time

 This is what happens when I tell the boys to clean their room.

Robots.

And pictures of hair growing out of moles.

"Rainbow Cony"

Well, we know that we have the granddaughter of a singer.  Katy was singing on the potty today, "Rainbow Cony!  I love you Rainbow Cony!  I love you!  Rainbow Cony!  Rainbow Cony!" 
 She has been going to be with underwear on this last week and has woken up dry for every night but one so she was promised a pony.  She likes My Little Pony and can't wait to be getting her prize.

40 Day Fast

Our branch is doing a 40 Day Fast to help get more people to come to church and to help the Missionaries with new converts.  Every family in the branch signed up for one day and yesterday was our day.  We started Monday night with FHE and talked about why were were fasting.  We decided that we wanted to include fasting for help with our daily family scripture study and family prayers.  We decided before hand that water and gum would be okay to have for the day and that we would all fast breakfast and lunch together.  (All but Katy.  She is just too little still.)

I have to say that it was one of the hardest days ever but with lots of gum and a few little prayers to help us make it to dinner, we were able to do it.  Norma, Tucker and Thad did so well!  I am so impressed with my children and their will to do what is right.  The Spirit that filled our home, and still does, is amazing!

I am so grateful to go through this experience with my family.  I feel that we have grown and learned so much just from this little act of sacrifice that we were able to do.  It was perfect to help us begin the school year with the Lord in our home and in our hearts.

Water Toys

We got some floaters for Katy and a big blow-up penguin. The kids couldn't wait to try it out. Katy took it over. She loved it!

She hated sharing it but when she did she loved her floaters. She swam the while time in the deep end with us. She would push off our legs and swim back and forth between Nate and I.

She really didn't like sharing so she brought it out with her to dry off together.

At least we got dinner in her first. 5 minutes and she was gone. Lets hope she stays asleep for the night.

Rocket Launching

They are doing some really big rocket launching out on the salt flats this weekend.  Today was the test day and we got to watch some really big ones be launched.  Taller than Nate.

 I am so in love with this picture!!

This is so amazing!  See, we can have fun out here in Wendover. ;0)

Water Balloons

Just another way to get the kids out of the house.

Took them an hour to fill some up and only 5 minutes to

Cleaning House

Yesterday morning I got this text.

"I moved the filing cabinets."

"To get this. "

Yes. That would be number two to be found in our house. This one is smaller than the one that was in Thad's laundry basket at least. 

Later I get this one. 

"It shouldn't be mad at me. I gave it a dead fly. "

 Nate did some research and found out that they aren't poisonous.  If you get stung by a scorpion its just like getting stung by a bee.  That made me feel a bit better.  Still, not happy about them in the house.
