{the week in pictures}

Sunday night the Primary had their "It's Great to be 8" program where they tell the kids all about what to expect with Activity Days/Scouts, the Faith in God program, and their Baptism.
Aliza is so excited for her big day!
This is Caramel. His first name was Butterscotch, but he is a webkins, and you register their name on line, and apparently the name Butterscotch is an inappropriate name because it told us that it was unacceptable. I can't figure out why. Anyway, Caramel accidently got dry erase marker on him and Aliza said I could throw him in the washer and he would get clean. I was leary, but I did it and it worked.
And I got to be the hero.
Mmmmmmm, chocolate chip cookie dough, before it gets ruined in the oven.
Last night was Aliza's 2nd grade singing program at the PTO meeting at the school. Her teacher recommended her for a speaking part and she was chosen. So she and 2 others narrated the program! She did a great job.


At Knowlton, Tyler and Parker were both able to have Mrs. Holman for in her 2nd/3rd grade split class. We love her! She told Parker if he wrote the class a letter, they would write back. This week Parker got this awesome package full of letters from some of the kids who were in his class last year, as well as the kids who are in there now. And Mrs. Holman sent each of the kids some hearts and a Valentine. So sweet. I just love her!
Parker and the kids had fun reading the letters. He is excited to write back. They had a lot of questions and he is excited to answer them.

I tried to get Tyler in this picture, but he moved out of the way...I tell ya, that kid just thinks he is too cool for school!!


So yesterday, our cell phone bill came. Tyler's phone had a $158.00 charge for 15 megs of downloads. When we called AT&T, they said that it looked like his phone was randomly connecting itself to the internet in the middle of the night and trying to download. They said sometimes that happens. What? He has a little Sync phone that couldn't hold that much info if it tried, and it sounds like it is possessed! I tell ya, one day our electronics are going to take over the world!
And I am sorry if nothing in this post is spelled right, I can't type and spell at the same time and blogger has broken it's spellchecker.

The broken spell check is seriously freaking me out!

I can always see when things are mis-spelled when I read novels, etc. But, on the blogging front, does it really matter? I always mess my words up!

I forgot about the Great-To-Be-8 thing. Poor Miguel missed it...

P.S. misspelled words are a pet peeve of mine! ;)

"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.

"...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"
