PRESIDENT GORDON B. HINCKLEY

"To you women of today who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many-now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings"

Lilly's Birthday: Hello Kitty



Lilly turned 6! I can't believe it. I know she's getting older but not really getting bigger. I love my little Lilly! I love spending time with her and doing those "girly things" She is so into nail polish. When I was little I hated my nails painted. I felt so embarrassed. Lilly can't change colors fast enough. My favorite thing about Lilly is how she interacts with Max. They are a team...you could say they are Team Umi Zoomi since they watch it so much. When Max gets hurt, Lilly runs to his rescue. When Max doesn't get his way, he runs to Lilly for her help and attention. When Max gets in trouble, he runs to Lilly for consolation. Many days I feel outnumbered but there's not much I can do about the bond these two have created.

Lilly "this year" loves: Hello Kitty, Sock Monkeys, Team Umi Zumi (SP), Fancy Nancy, homework, making cupcakes, painting, monkey bars and braids in her hair and straight hair with nothing in it. Her birthday theme was Hello Kitty. The girls wore red bows in their hair. Painted noses and whiskers on their faces. Played pin the bow on Kitty, Kitty Kat Attack, meowsical chairs, ate Kitty/kiddy cupcakes and kiddy kones. Pink icing, pink lemonade, pink balloons...all things pink.

Happy Birthday Lilly!

Eater 2010: Sock Monkeys






This Easter had an unplanned theme- Sock Monkeys. The kids mentioned how much they wanted sock monkeys and so the Easter Bunny came through. The kids did an egg hunt, dyed eggs and searched for baskets. It snowed that morning so it felt like Christmas...presents, treats and early morning excitement.
