Emily
Yesterday Emily stayed home from school. It is not like Emme to miss school even when she is sick. Igot up early to take her to orchestra and she was asleep. Angie said she tried to wake her several times so I knew she needed some extra sleep so I let her sleep in till 10:00 hich is very unusual. Anyways, What she did was so cute. mark and I took MJ to get his scout shirt and when we came home she cleaned up our room and gave us cute little cards. She said " you should have seen how it put a smile on your face" . And it did. She is so thoughtful and I thank her for the example she is to me. Boy do I need to become more child like in Christ teachings.
Thank you Emme.
Thank you Emme.

Tis the Season..
To do yard work, fa la la la la, la la la la
Scrub the windows and the tile work, fa la la la la, la la la la.
Now we start our day with gladness, fala la la la la lala la la la la.
No more lawn with yucky brownness
Soon well have the most glorious greeness, fa la la, lalala, la la la.
I once thought we would never have a yard. We rented this thing-a-ma-jigger from West Richland Rentals that tilled the top layer of the dirt, (eating all our dead weeds of course) and smoothed it back out into a wonderful layer of dirt (weeds and grass excluded). It was amazing!! We worked all day Saturday through the rain and into the night. Was soo much fun. The kids and I pulled weeds as Dad used the magic tool. We started to have some showers, ok rain, And wouldn't you know it ~ The kids started singing and dancing in the rain, got very muddy and then insisted to give everyone hugs to eachother, even dad and I. Luckily the washer has a super duty, extra soiled cycle for washing. Unfortunately, the next day neither Mark or I could move. My arms were numb and my body so sore that it hurt to even walk. That will teach me to get out of shape, HA! Its a good thing we have sun for the next week cuz theres more stuff to do. I sense a never ending project coming soon..
