We should not allow our personal values to erode, even if others think we are peculiar. "--President James E. Faust

full day, happy day

Today is going to be a very busy day, and a very fun day. Aliza's class and the whole 2nd grade are going to the University of North Texas to the Elm Fork Education Center on a field trip. It looks like it is going to be cool...they have a planetarium/sky theater, as well as an archaeological dig. Aliza wanted me to be able to come really bad, so I am glad I can. I read the blogs of you young moms with your leetle ones, and feel a teensy tiny bit sad that my kiddos are growing up so fast. I love to watch them grow, but mom's not the center of their world any more. So it is nice when they are still so excited to have me around!
After the field trip, I get to help out at the Book Fair again. Nothing makes me happier than being surrounded by all those yummy books. If I were a millionaire, I would never have enough time in the world to read all the books I could buy!

And Wednesdays mean Cub Scouts and it is our monthly Pack Meeting and Committee meeting. Parker earned a lot of awards last month, and has started to work on his requirements for his Weblos badge. This Saturday, our troop is participating in CUBE at Meyer's Park. Our troop is in charge of a booth where we will teach up to 1,000 boys how to make those pine cone and peanut butter and bird seed bird feeders.

Thank you so much to my mom and Morgan for gathering almost 900 of those cones from under the snow in the cold and sending them to us! Pine cones are scarce in Texas!

And Tyler has Young Men. They are practicing for our Stake Road Show. He has a little speaking part and is really excited for it! The Road Show is going to be held on the Saturday that I am in Utah, so I may have to sneak in to a couple of practices so I can watch him! He has another scout over nighter at Erwin Park this Friday night, and then they are doing service hours at the CUBE activity, helping with the bird feeders.

So, to sum it all up, I get to spend my day with my favorite people in the world! I'll be doing what I do best, and nothing makes me happier!

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family."
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard..." from Annie

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

-Audrey Hepburn
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.


"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"
