Macie slept over, and kids played great.
They took a long bath together & I loved
listening to their conversations in the tub!
Tacos for lunch. T home.
Everyone healthy and happy.
We went outside and the kids rode their bikes.
I brushed the Humbolt, Skipper, and Emmy.
It started to rain, and we rushed into the garage.
The kids didn't want to go inside-
but I didn't want them soaked before church...
So we made a hut in the garage!
We swept, pulled out the camp chairs, benches, and even a couple of rugs.
The big cooler was our table.
Music was a playin.
And pumpkin chocolate chip cookies were served!
With cherry limeade in miniature cups!
I loved it - just as much or more than the kids, I think!
Sacrament meeting was extremely noisy,
but great talks by the High Council.
The Relief Society lesson was great.
It was about having a Christ centered home...
We read a talk by Elder Haynes from the April General Conference.
I related the advice given to my mom from her bishop:
(long story... but hope you will get the point without me telling it)
Pray that Satan will be rebuked from (so & so's) life...
Pray that he won't have power to influence...
Or be a part of your home.
The bishop said to use those exact words...
Rebuke.
Sometimes I want to punch Satan in the nose!
And if a prayer will sock it to him, then you know how
my prayers are going to sound tonight...
Because I truly do want a Christ centered home.
And want my kids to feel safe and peaceful at our home.
I know that the world is crazy, and I love that I have
power to keep my own house safe... :)
That's all.
Oh my goodness! I forgot half the day!
I got carried away with the RS lesson.
Great dinner. Hamburgers. Baked beans.
Salads. Shrimp dip!! Family. Even oldies!
Bike ride to Marnees with Owen & Anna.
Anna looked so cute in her new pink dress,
little black shoes, and a bike helmet on!
Owen felt so big and cool going on a LONG
bike ride. His legs weren't even tired.
Not even a little bit, he said. Cause he is
flexible. And in shape!
I rode the bike home (without kids) cause it was going to storm.
T was right. I got half way home
and it started to pour. Then hail.
Big freaking pieces of hail
pelting my arms, back, neck!
I couldn't hardly see and the wind
was blowing AGAINST me!
At first it was kind of fun - a little adventurous
in a way... Then it got a little crazy.
If you live around here, you know how much
hail came down!! T and the kids came back to get me
but I only had a block left by then. So he pulled
out the camera and shot some film of me.
Pretty funny.
And the bike trailer was a bouncing the whole time.
Just saying. And if you asked my sisters,
my outfit (or lack thereof) was horrible and I'm
sure made the whole biking in the hail situation
that much more of a sight to see!
I was soaked and laughing and my heart rate
was sky high trying to get home fast!
What a day. Love it. Love my family.
Love life. That's really all.
