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

Sadie Hawkins 2011

Kathryn decided to ask Kenneth Stock to Sadie Hawkins this year. She dropped off a thing of "dibs" ice cream and called Dibs on him. He answered her with a really cute poem and a bouquet of balloons.
She had a little bit of a rough morning though... First she was gluing something and ended up super gluing her finger to the container. We did take pictures and laughed hard... Maybe not Kathryn laughing so hard... Then she was cleaning out the van and she slammed her finger in the door. Darn it. No pictures of that though:)

She and her girlfriends decided for their 'day' date to take the boys to "Aire Borne". It is a trampoline arena with different areas included dodgeball, a foam pit and tramps everywhere including 2/3s up the way on the walls. She said that it was really fun and all six of them had a great time. The dance was themed "Alice in Wonderland" So they had decided to theme theirs the queen of hearts. Since they knew they would get sweaty at the tramp place they painted hearts on pairs of white socks for all of them to wear.

After the day date they each went home to get ready for the 'casual' dance. The girls had painted red shirts for each of their dates. They came back here for a Japanese dinner date. Ryan had made them sushi, ginger beef, curry and all of the fixings. The boys were really cute and all of them laughed the whole time they were here. Then they were off to the dance. Kathryn said it was very fun and that the whole group danced and stayed all night:) Here are a few pictures from dinner. I'll get the rest from Cindi when we get them back... Her party consists of Sadie & Adam, and Stephanie & David.Kathryn, Stephanie, SadieKenneth, David, AdamKenneth contemplating the size of the futomaki roll, then hearing that Darren can put the whole thing in his mouth...

Kathryn, I am glad we didn't go to Airborne yesterday - we almost did - because I would hate for your cousins, aunt and uncle to embarrass you on your date!

Sounds and looks like a very fun day. I am so sorry you hurt your finger twice though.
