Slumber Party

I was gone all evening and I walked through the door expecting all the girls to be asleep and to my surprise they are all awake and Craig was doing there hair crazy. Craig has set up this chart for the girls and every week they get to earn points. Then at the end of the week if they have enough points they get to choose out of the Daddy Grab Bag. Well this week they choose a slumber party. It was suppose to be for tonight, but I ended up having to go to the doctor and didn't get home in time. The girls really wanted to have it though. So Craig put his homework on hold and had a GIRLY slumber party. They did crazy hair ,Craig did the girls and the girls did Craig's, they made brownies, danced to music and ended with a big pillow fight. I think my girls have the greatest Dad around!!!

Sherri Dew Devotional

Sherri Dew came and gave the devotional at BYUH last week. So Craig talked me into going WITH all the girls :) It was very good! I wanted to post just the conclusion of her talk I thought it was very motivating.

"Now in conclusion, there are three things that will determine the course of your life.
Knowing who you are as a son or a daughter of God and that you have a mission – and it’s a
unique mission, only yours. Understanding the Savior, what he did for us when he atoned, and
what he’ll do to help us now. And learning to receive revelation. You know there is nothing
happening today that is catching the Lord by surprise. He’s not in heaven, hastily convening a
council because Satan has pulled a fast one on him. He knew that in 2009 there would be an
economic collapse in the United States that would trigger economic problems around the world. He knew that by 2009 the media would be almost entirely controlled by Lucifer. He knew that by this time, in the history of the world and in the history of this dispensation, that marriage between a man and a woman would come under full-scale attack. He knew all of that, and , much more. But, he also knew that when the world began to unravel for the last time, that he would need his most noble sons and daughters here – on the front lines of the most spiritual battle in the history of the world. God knew that when the world fell apart he would want you and he would choose for you to be here. I know that’s true and that you are a pivotal generation. I also know that Satan will do everything he can to disrupt your mission. But, if you know who you are, if you have a witness of Jesus Christ and understand how he will help you, and if you can receive personal revelation, Lucifer will not - he will not - disrupt your life here. He will not disrupt your progress, and you will fulfill your mission."

Rainbows

In the last week we have seen 3 rainbows. Of course whenever I see one I point it out to the girls because I think they are beautiful. So a couple of days ago Alexa says, "I didn't even know there was such a thing as real rainbows!" Then today she asks, "Is this the only state they have rainbows in?" We must be from the desert!

The Famous Shrimp Shack

We have been driving by this Shrimp Shack almost everyday since we moved here and finally today on the way home we stopped and ordered some shrimp. It was an exciting day!! Of course Craig is the only one in the family that likes shrimp but I did take a bite and the flavoring was delicious.

The Pali Lookout

We went to the Pali. It is this mountain that a big bloody battle was fought at way back when...but the cool thing about it is it is just right of of the highway and you drive a few minutes through 'The Jungle', that's at least what we call it and it is SOOO windy!!! I didn't believe people when they said it was really windy but we went up there and WOW, it is REALLY windy. It is awesome. And the view from up there is really pretty, too.
