On Martin Luther King Jr. day we went out

with some friends to their ranch.

Can you believe this is January!

We rode horses and 4-wheelers

roasted marshmallows and got rained on.

books

I just finished this book last night!

I loved it 

5 stars
Favorite lines from the book......................

You mustn't wait for someone to rescue you...A girl expecting rescue never learns to save herself.


"She did as she felt, and she felt a great deal."


"You make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing"


Always remember, with a strong enough will, even the weak can wield great power."


"The cage door opened and the cuckoo bird fell, fell, fell, until finally her stunted wings opened, and she found that she could fly."

Has anyone else read it?

I would like to know what you think about it?

Last week our family was asked to clean the church.  So on Saturday night we went over and started vacuuming, taking out the trash, ect. One of the chores on the list was to clean the chapel.  ((WOW the Cheerios  we found!)) We needed to make sure all the hymn books were all a certain way.  So we went row by row and arranged them all. 
 On Sunday morning we sat down in our seats and Kalab had to fix our hymn books.  He tapped me and said look! 
I was so grateful for the lessons my kids learned about keeping our newly remodeled church clean and tidy!

bad week for Aubrey

This past week has been a hard one for my sweetie girl....

first she cut her foot.  The screen door hit the 

back of her foot .  We went to the ER 

and she had to get 6 stitches.

Next Kalab dropped the top a stool on her little toe~

Same foot!

She had just started walking normal too!

 

I hope nothing else happens to this poor foot~

all she likes to do is Dance, Dance, Dance!

Aubrey was in her 1st dance recital today.  And she rocked!  She did a tap dance to "Kiss the Girl"
I bought these flowers for her and had Blayne bring them up when they came.  She thought her dad was AWESOME for bringing her flowers...

No stage fright and she LOVED being on the stage.... I wonder where she gets it!

We are ALive!

I'm still here and do miss my blogging... but we have been at the baseball field!

I will be back with posts... I promise!

Kalab wanted me to wrap him up this morning.
He said he would stay that way until the kids came home from school.
He lasted 2 minutes.
