Talents

Today was my lesson in Relief Society on "Our Heavenly Family". I used the wordle above to have each sister take a minute to write down their talents and then while we talked about the lesson to write down more that they thought of and also to write down what they might want to develop further. Of course I took the opportunity to display our family picture. I have to show off my kids one way or another! haha

OUR WEBSITE

Hey!
I've got some fun news! I just created a website!! FREE ;> lol I'm not sure who changes the blog followings, but could you add
www.gcrewhomeschooling.weebly.com
I just created it tonight and have quite a bit more to do. BUT this is going to be so much fun. The kids and I were looking for a way we could share videos and fun stuff we do. PLUS, it allows us to have as many blog pages as we want...so here you can find 6 blogs too! ;>

My husband is so freakin awesome and funny that sometimes I laugh so hard I can't breathe and you can't hear me at all for a good 2 minutes. However, he snores like a walrus.....do walrus's snore? whatever, he's loud. So that means I am still awake right now and have resorted to watching yet another episode of the Office (a show that is also the culprit of me laughing breathless) in order to get so tired that I can't stay awake for nothing, even if I am sleeping next to a walrus. Does anyone else have this problem? Now, remember, I am not comparing James to a walrus in SIZE, just in noise volume. That would just be rude to say he looked like a walrus. And if he read this and misinterpreted, he wouldn't be too thrilled.

On another note, I haven't posted about Skizzy in a while, so here is a shout out to him: Skizzy (Isaac, as we sometimes call him)Is the cutest little bugger. He is almost two. Also, he LOVES Eli. He talks about going to his house all the time. He calls him "E-llah" and he calls Brianna "b-nana" and he calls melissa "missess". However, he and Eli fight like beta fish when they are together, but not the whole time...so I don't rip out my hair the whole time. So it's good.
See? This is what staying up late does. It makes me ramble with weird facts and observations. Melissa was right. Boredom is treacherous. Breathe right strips? Throat sprays? Help me out here.

This is what boredom leads to

Hey everyone. So Adam had a work Christmas LAN party tonight, leaving me alone from 3 to 12, and I got very bored about an hour after the kids went to bed, and this is what it led to. I now have a blog. Lame I know. I never wanted one in the past because I really don't have anything great to say. Nonetheless, here is the link in case you want to see it. I would advise against it.

Don't make too much fun of it.

Things I am Thankful for....

Happy New Year! I'm so glad to be here safe and sound! I'm so happy it was not my time to die or to be hurt! I'm very grateful it wasn't time for grandma and grandpa to die or be hurt! I'm thankful for tender mercies and guardian angels. I'm grateful for the power of prayer. I'm thankful for a husband with great faith and that he was standing at the top of the hill. I'm thankful that we have a purpose in life and that we know what we need to do to be happy. I'm thankful for my family - especially for my children and their families. I'm thankful for friends. I'm thankful that I can try, try and try again whether it's the beginning, middle or end of the year. Ü I'm grateful for repentance and forgiveness.

I'm sure many of you are wondering what all the fuss is! Ü But these are my inner feelings and I just wanted to share a few of them before they fade. You know how it is. You feel all full of gratitude for something or someone and you have such an urge to shout it to the world! But as time moves on that feeling fades. Not that you feel it any less, just the urge to shout it fades and it's never expressed.
