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

Updates

This week has flown by so fast. I think in my old age the days get faster and faster. My mom came to help my sister in law so she came out for Rebecca's soccer game in Thursday. She played great but their team lost. The other team clobbered them. They were bigger, faster, and could kick harder. They had a couple of kids on their team that scored goals that they kicked over everybodies heads (including the goalie).

Last night our bishopbric (why does that look so wrongly spelled?) hosted an adult dinner. It was beautiful. One of the counselors joked that it was nicer than his reception. Anyway it was fun and the food was yummy. Thanks!

Today is Rebecca's birthday soccer party. My mom is supposed to bring my nephews and spend the night afterwards so that we can have a chance to visit before she has to go home. Plus that would give Kristin a night without kids in her house. Which when I'm sick I always enjoy. We are having it at the park so that they can play soccer and such.
Remember to email me your addresses so that you too can keep up on the boring lives of us!

Here's to hoping the soccer team we play next week isn't so big. It was fun to visit with you last night--great table. :)

You better invite me to your private blog!

Hey Kerri! You are doing so much! Your kids are darling as usual! It is crazy how our kids seem to hyper speed into teenagers after they turn 8! I hope we can keep in touch.
