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

I know.. I know it is nearly March... YIKES!

My nephew came home from his mission and we gathered multiple times for family fun time:)



What a pretty Christmas table I set? !!

Darren opening presents Christmas morning... I think this shirt says a lot for a college freshman!
"Please pass me the ball".. "I know I'm a girl but I'm open and I can shoot!" This is Rebecca's montra each game. Except this last week they passed it to her and she made the shot so they passed it to her more! Yippee!

Can I just start by saying I love my family? Yesterday was President's Day and I accomplished very little but I did spend an enormous amount of time watching old episodes of "Say Yes to the Dress" with my girls. It is a funny show to watch about the UNREALISTIC life of girls that are getting ready to get married. It is funny to watch especially since I have four teenage daughters who scary as it may seem are probably closer to getting married than I even want to imagine. (When I think of Kathryn I think of Catey B who met her hubby while a junior in hs.!)

Okay let's back up a little... We have had random holidays and birthdays that I'll post about and we also have had lots of play time.

This school year is going VERY fast and Darren is coming home for spring break in less than 2 weeks. While home he is scheduled for his 'premission' physical, 'premission' dental and to have his wisdom teeth out. No Ft Lauderdale for his spring break! Hee hee.

Kathryn is in the full swing of cosmetology school and is learning things so fast. I wish I didn't teach everyday so I could go over and have her practice on me:)

Stephanie got cast in the musical Annie Jr. so she is busy rehearsing. Rebecca is doing great in school and loves being at Hidden Hollow. She is playing junior Jazz basketball and is doing AWESOME!

Jessica is busy with school, choir and young women's.
