Little Things

On Wednesday morning our power went out while the kids and I were eating breakfast. After a couple minutes, Tink said that she wanted to say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to help turn the power back on. So, she said a little prayer doing just that. About a minute or two after she finished, the power came back, and Skinja said, "You did it!"

The thing that is special about this story is that we didn't really need the power back on right away, but Tinks's prayer was still answered almost immediately. Oh, the faith of little children is great!

Tonight when I was putting Skinja to bed, he decided to let me pick the bedtime songs. (Usually, I let him pick two, and I'll pick one.) The first song I chose was "I Love to See the Temple." After I sang the first two lines (I love to see the temple/I'm going there someday), he interrupted me and said, "Mommy, why don't you go to the temple?" I had to be honest and told him I just hadn't made the time to go. We then had a little discussion about mommy and daddy going to the temple more often. I think I will probably try to take the kids up to the temple grounds more often as well since they enjoy going there.

It's the little things in life that seem to mean the most, and I am constantly reminded of that by the little ones in my life.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
