FAREWELL SUMMER

I am always sad when summer is over...(even though its 104 today)

I love having my kids home...

I love family vacations...

I love laying by the pool with friends...

I love hanging out late on weeknights...

I love our little trips we take...

When the kids were little I have to admit I didnt love it quite as much...trying to keep 6 little kids busy all summer...but as they got older I loved having them home.

Maybe its because I taught early morning seminary and it was my break.

Maybe it's because I don't enjoy all the school meetings at night

Maybe it's because I don't enjoy the "do you have your homework done"

Maybe it's because I worry about the constant influence at school

Maybe it's because I worry about some of the things that are being taught in the schools today

Maybe it's because I don't enjoy getting up at the crack of dawn
(for the first time in 20 something yrs I dont have to drive to school)

I will miss you summer...school started way to early here in Cali...it is so sad!

My Children Are My Example

Steven and his girlfriend Brooke have been visiting this week before they head to Florida to sell for the summer. After working out this morning I came home to find Steven at the table in prayer before he opened his scriptures. He was preparing for his morning scripture study! You are an example to me son...I have often walked in on Haylea praying, Bree studying her scriptures in her bed, Chris on his knees. They are such examples to me !

THANK YOU!
