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

Halloween Party




So last night Ryan and I had the chance to dress up and play. Ryan made his Indian Costume 15 years ago and he has worn it for many different Halloweens but he had figured out he hadn't worn it out here yet. So we decided to be 'Cowboys and Indians'. After my dad met Ryan he told me that I was marrying a 'big kid'. Yes, I married a big kid! But let me tell you it is much more fun to be married to a kid that still likes to have fun after 18 years! I'm glad he is my best friend:))

Kathryn helped me make some chaps and she curled my hair and we played with our neighbor friends. Being a school teacher sometimes makes me dread Halloween but it was fun to dress up with adults and eat treats and not have 'kids' around.

And he did win one of the costume contests:) That makes his day.
