Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

4th of July

Today our family went over to our cousin's house to eat and play and eat some more. We had a lot of fun we ordered pizza and hung out while playing Settlers of Catan. We are such moochers that we didn't get any fireworks we just plan on going across the street to watch everyone else's display. My favorite niece is Amanda. She does what ever I want her to do for me. She is my Favorite because she is soo cute and adorable. Did I mention she is soo cute!! My favorite kid is Kathryn because she is the greatest person I have ever met. (and I have met a lot of nice people!)
