Baker Carnival

Since I woke up this morning at 4:57 am with a migraine and was never able to fall back to sleep, I decided to post about yesterday. (And yes, I took two migraine pills and the headache has subsided, thanks!) Last night was the school's official ribbon-cutting, along with a carnival and BBQ. The kids had a blast on the blow-up toys and ran around playing all the little carnival games.
This is Aliza and Miss Wenger, her teacher. I just really like her alot. She is so excited about teaching and really loves it. She is so nice to me and to Aliza whenever we see her. Aliza on the obstacle course. Not having fun at all! :)
Ya can't get a front shot of Parker because he didn't hold still long enough to take one. He ran off with Mateo and had so much fun, I hardly saw him all night!
Tyler and his homeroom/science teacher Mrs. Patton. She is always smiling. She is a great teacher...Tyler really likes her!
So many tickets, so little time...what to do, what to do?!
In Texas, barbeque is brisket. I'm not a big BBQ fan, it wouldn't be the first thing that I choose to eat, but for BBQ, this was really good.

So, good news. There is a cold front moving in this week. News reports say that we may even see the low 60's at night in some parts of the metro-plex. Our high will only be in the 80's, for about one day before it goes back up to the 90's again. Yeah, you laugh at us now, but we will have the last laugh this January when it 20 degrees for three weeks in a row there, and we are wearing light jackets and capris.

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
