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

My baby!











Can I be really old enough to have a son go to a formal dance? Shay Rasmussen (a girl in our ward) asked Darren at church on Sunday if he would go to her school's formal with her and another couple that they are friends with. We have spent the week getting him all ready. They just stopped by to let us take their pictures.

He has gotten so big it is hard to believe he is already 16 and can date. I'm glad he had a nice time.
