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

Wow, that's Wacky

One of the advantages (or not) of living in a small community with a small school district is that all 3 elementary schools and the middle school all feed into one High School (at least for now). So since it is Homecoming on Friday, and we live in Texas, all the schools celebrate. This is bigger than Halloween (which only gets a one day Sock Hop) and Christmas (which gets a one hour party that is technically called a "Winter Party.")
This week has been tiring long fun as we celebrated Spirit Week at Baker.
Monday was Pajama Day:
Tuesday was wear your favorite team jersey day:

(side note: Parker wore the ginormous METS jersey that Dan gave him when we visited in March. It goes almost to his ankles. I tried to talk him out of it, but Parker is going to be a great lawyer, debater or politician one day and just doesn't give up.)

They took Wednesday off because it was school picture day (so they called it "dress for success" day.) Today was Dress Wacky day:

Whatever.

Tomorrow the kids get out of school early (noon at the elementary and 1 at the MS) for the Homecoming Parade. The only other days we get out of school early are the day before Christmas Winter Break and the last day of school.

Look at this cute little butterfly I saw in my front yard this morning...

"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"
