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

End of the Year fun

Kathryn opening Rebecca's present from Rebecca.
Danny and Joe teaching us some baseball signals.
Brother Jon, Sis in law Liz and the cutest baby Anya they were here visiting from Poland:)
Our cool skit for our reunion. We were awesome:)

Cameron playing the cow. He really wanted to be the cow.
YUMMY dinner:)
Laughs were heard by all.


Our whole family in one place.



We had a glorious Christmas and New Years holiday. We went to David Archeleta and the Mo Tab plus, had Christmas Eve with our neighbors, did fondue with Ryan's brother and sisters' families, then I took the kids to a family reunion in St. George for an entire week with my family. We had 9 of 10 of my siblings there for the celebration. It was really fun. I can't believe that it is time to go back to school tomorrow morning. :(

We love the Hackings too! Kerri, I am still loving the soft soft soft blanket and sweater you gave me. I love all the pictures you put on this post. Your children are all sweet and cute/pretty. I loved your response in St. George when asked who your favorite child is. : )
