Text of the page (random words):
christmas talent show because our home teachers came a half hour late and ended up staying a quite a while it was probably the best home teaching lesson we ve ever gotten though when we finally got to my sister s house we had missed everyone s performances and we had to gather all the kids together so alyssa could play away in a manger and ethan could play jingle bells on the piano marcus was supposed to read a rubric nativity story with me but he refused and ended up break dancing without music instead 7 rebecca loves apples and you can see by the fact that she has one in her hands and one discarded beside her she especially loves to steal apples from her brothers and sister 8 she also didn t get a nap one day before christmas and ended up falling asleep on the family room floor 9 decorating sugar cookies on christmas eve and 10 everyone waiting to go see what santa brought on christmas morning i didn t take very many pictures of christmas but it was a good one we enjoyed our santa presents for a bit then brian s parents came over for our now traditional crepe breakfast with brian in charge which is my favorite part then we opened all the other presents and i loved it because we spent time in between each opening to take things out of boxes and play with them before going on to the next round it made for a longer more relaxed morning and i hope we can keep that going every year oops i forgot to add the pictures from my phone 11 brian and i participated in a murder mystery type skit for a fundraiser for a local autism foundation we were asked to do it because of my involvement in tombstone tales and we ended up having so much fun before we went to the first rehearsal brian was saying that he really didn t want to do it but even he ended up having a great time the story was that we were all actors and actresses or directors casting directors agents etc and we were at a party after a huge awards ceremony we were all waiting for hobart hughes to tell us who would be starring in his next major film and we all hoped the leading lady wouldn t be angel the autism director for varius different reasons then someone ended up killing angel and the audience had to guess which of us did it my niece megan played a young pop star named barbie doll and she did a fabulous job while looking incredibly beautiful brian and i played mario star and lola star and i was afraid the whole night that angel was trying to steal him away from me during the mingling session i would sometimes go up to a group of people and ask if they had seen my husband complain about that darn angel and then depending on if we found him close to her or away from her either go into hysterics or praise my husband for keeping his distance from her 12 alyssa performed in the mid columbia ballet s production of the nutcracker for the first time obviously she was a soldier we weren t supposed to take pictures of them in their make up but all the other moms were doing it i know not a valid excuse and i really wanted something to put on the blog she was a cute little soldier and we ended up finding a new friend in a girl who goes to mcp but on a different day and did kindergarten twice just like alyssa because her mom felt she wasn t ready for first grade because he birthday is in the summer just like alyssa i was actually surprised to find out that there were at least three kids in the soldier group that were home schooled i guess it s not so uncommon anymore building a tower with a few other girls this is also proof at what a bad nutcracker mom i was i stood there granting their request to take pictures and told them how cool they were just before we heard a yell to get off the table it was only then that i realized oh yeah i guess it s not that safe 12 and here s marcus with julius most likely when he was still named ginger 11 submitted by carrie at 12 31 2012 09 53 00 am 3 notes saturday december 29 2012 sleep deprived rambling it is currently around 6 50 am i don t know the exact time because i m feeling too lazy to look closely at the clock on the wall and a few weeks ago marcus had a grand time messing with the clock on the computer so it s all messed up glance at the wall clock 6 50ish clock on the bottom right corner of my computer screen 1 51 pm i woke up this morning at 3 44 apparently i did a good job of looking at the clock then i woke up and couldn t get back to sleep because my mind wouldn t quiet down so i decided to get on the computer to look up a few things i ve been wanting to research and hadn t had time for i ve been wanting to plan some good family home evenings for a while now because our fhe s have gone completely downhill over the past year or so with our busy kids we ve never had fabulous lessons with coordinating games and activities and now we ve worked our way from short lessons and a dessert to meaningful family activities usually accompanied by dessert to at least we re hanging out together eating yummy food have you ever heard the saying you can do anything but you can t do everything our family is pretty good at that last part we used to be great at family home evening but horrible at family scripture study now after working on it we re fabulous at family scripture study at having it not at always making it wonderful and spiritual and everyone is paying attention but we re not having real family home evenings anymore i miss it so now that scripture study has become a staple in our nightly routine it s time to start working on home evening again since i haven t had a chance to make some plans during the day and i couldn t get back to sleep a few hours ago i decided to just get up and do it i ve ended up going with an already planned schedule for family home evening from a year of family home evenings i actually wanted to follow this schedule last year but never got around to it i ve decided to follow the plans for 2010 i think it s a good place to start and i think our family will benefit from the ideas from those lessons while researching i came across something i d like to start using for home school up until now alyssa has been reading one chapter of the book of mormon each day for her first lesson and ethan has been reading five verses but now we re going to switch to the discover the scriptures lessons instead and i m excited about that i think it will turn their daily scripture reading into daily scripture study and they ll get more out of it i m also looking into ways of getting more out of my personal scripture study because right now it s just scripture reading too and i think that now that becca is older i need to put more effort into it mini rant but how do i do that i want to do better i want to make it work but it feels overwhelming there s so much i want to schedule in my neglected blog scripture study writing my book more time to unwind both by myself and with brian or to just relax and have fun and those goals need to be squeezed in to my normal day 5 30 running that hasn t been happening very often over the last month and a half shower and get the kids ready and breakfast d home school and laundry lunch a bit more home school kids activities that involve keeping marcus and rebecca entertained while we wait dinner family time get kids ready for bed scripture study tuck kids in make lesson plans for school hang out with brian for a bit go to sleep just to let you know right now my personal scripture study is reading out loud while rocking rebecca for her naps and you know maybe it will have to stay that way for a little while longer until i can come up with something better i also sometimes listen to the scriptures while running i just feel so busy but when i map out my schedule or think of things i can cut from the schedule i don t want to take anything out because i really feel that each activity is important stop home schooling now way i love it and i truly feel that it is the best choice for our family don t do laundry i would love that but eventually we would run out of clean clothes and i really wouldn t feel comfortable with sending our laundry to a cleaner even if we had the money to spend like that running i can t let that slip because i ve found that exercising is necessary to both my physical and emotional well being i guess it s not even that i m busy but more that the things i m doing are very involved but maybe that s just typical of life with young children my sister told me that once she told her stake president during a temple recommend interview that she struggled to find time for scripture study and he told her that there were years when his kids were young that his wife s scripture study was simply choosing one verse to hang on her mirror and read through while she brushed her teeth each morning and i guess that s all we can do sometimes anyway that doesn t mean i m giving up i do want to do better but i think i need to also be patient in the process i feel like i m an organized person but i know i can still take a look at things at a time when i m not feeling so overwhelmed at be able to come up with a solution that rant turned out longer than i expected sorry bout that one thing that s happened through our family scripture study is that i ve found my favorite scripture up until now i haven t had a favorite scripture i ve had scripture stories and verses that i ve liked or that have had special meaning to me but i never had a moment where one verse jumped out and made me feel like this is me this is what i want my life to be all about but last week while reading to the kids while brian was at church meetings this one verse jumped out at me in that exact same way it s mosiah 2 41 and moreover i would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of god for behold they are blessed in all things both temporal and spiritual and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven that thereby they may dwell with god in a state of never ending happiness i love this scripture the whole point of keeping the commandments is so that we can be happy both in this life and in the next life loving heavenly father makes me happy loving others and treating them with love makes me happy following the word of wisdom makes me happy serving others makes me happy all of these things make me happy now and by doing these things i can return to live with my heavenly father someday to dwell in a state of never ending happiness it can t get any better than that this is now my scripture it is now both 7 45 am and 2 46 pm depending on where i look ethan woke up once he heard me typing and he is now downstairs quietly watching tv everyone else is still asleep and i think i m going to go lie down a bit before it s too late or maybe i ll catch up on reading everyone else s blog posts which i haven t done for a long time yep that sounds good submitted by carrie at 12 29 2012 07 48 00 am 3 notes thursday november 29 2012 insert title here when i first meant to write this post last week a whole bunch of titles kept going through my mind there was third time s a charm refencing the fact that this is the third post containing something stupid that i have done other titles along those lines were not too bright a sarcastic fun times and my personal favorite i od ed on baking soda see that s the one that really get s people wondering i woke up last monday morning feeling the start of a urinary tract infection the kids were home for the second week in a row of vacation from mcp so i was both trying to catch up with laundry and housework and do home school with them which basically translates to i did not have time to go to the doctor plus my mom had a doctor s appointment of her own to go to brian s mom was helping someone who was having surgery on her hand that day and when lunch time rolled around and things were really starting to hurt down there i knew that tallia was going grocery shopping for thanksgiving dinner christina was taking her daughter to seminary and erin had to be home for her girls to come home on the bus from school i didn t want to bother anyone especially since every other experience i ve had with the urgent care here involved a six hour wait i started the morning by just trying to flush it through my system by drinking lots of water i hoped that i was wrong in my suspicions and didn t really have a uti and that by drinking lots of water i would end up feeling better then when it started to hurt and then hurt worse i was just looking for a way to help me make it through the day until brian came home so i could head over to urgent care at that point looking up home remedies uninary tract infection on google brought up cranberry juice didn t have any and baking soda water i decided to give the baking soda water a try while the kids had lunch i mixed up a cup of water with a teaspoon of baking soda drank it then had one more glass of it while cleaning up after lunch without really thinking things through i was still thinking along the lines of flush it out so i went ahead and made up a mason jar with three cups of water and three teaspoons of baking soda put a movie on for the kids and went upstairs to take a warm bath i made it through about 3 4 of an episode of vampire diaries which i wasn t too impressed with before i started to feel incredibly ill incredibly ill i looked down and noticed that my belly looked to be about four months pregnant no exaggeration i felt extremely nauseated but i was never able to throw up and soon the diarrhea started yes i do realize that i m full if tmi on this blog so i ended up on the toilet with a towel spread out in front of me to catch the throw up that never came oh it was horrible and it kept getting worse and worse seriously like twenty times worse than any flu or food poisoning i ve ever had added to the nausea and diarrhea was tingling fingers and lips and my whole body was shaking this was when i thought that no matter what was going on in their lives i should call one of my sisters to come help it took me a few minutes to come to this realization because i had no clothes on and i was at the point where i didn t want anything to touch my skin and at first i wondered how i would let anyone help me if i didn t want them to see me naked then it got bad enough that i didn t care while getting off the toilet and heading across the bathroom to get my phone everything started to spin and move side to side and get all wonky i grabbed my phone thought what if i pass out and there s no one here but my kids and called 911 now this wasn t my first time calling 911 remember i called 911 early one morning when alyssa went with me on her bike while i ran and i lost her and couldn t find her anywhere that was the first time and even though i was scared to death and we had only lived in our house for a week or two i was able to correctly give our address to the dispatcher this time the second time i gave him about three vari...
