Sometimes you have moments that make you realize how great your kids really are, and that they even listen to you. I'm sure all moms (or parents) wonder if their kids even listen & then realize one day that they really did. Last week was an awesome week & I just wanted to share a little of our week with you. (This isn't a picture from last week, but I thought it was cute).
Anyway. We have a friend that lives on our street & is over almost every day with her son. She is not a member of our church, but gets to hear about our church all the time from the kids & I. My kids are being great missionaires to her & her son. On Monday, when they were leaving I heard Bryce telling her that "At our church we have a Prophet of God. And he teaches us to have Family Home Evening, so we have Family Home Evening every Monday Night". He then went on to tell her what we were doing that night for FHE. He didn't know I was around but he was sharing a little of his testimony of FHE. Bryan & I are so proud of him. He is always inviting them to church (they haven't come yet, but Bryce hasn't given up). He has also taken other friends, on our street to church with us. It is so awesome so see my kids sharing their testimonies & being good missionaries to others.
On Thur. when we were coming home from the store the kids saw alot of workers at a house (that is being built right behind us) working. It was pretty hot that day & they decided that they wanted to take water bottles to all the workers. There were over 20 guys at this house. So they each took 3 bottles at a time until each guy had some water. These guys were so grateful for the water & it was so sweet to watch my kids being of service to others. I was so touched by their thoughtfulness at 8, 6, 5, & 3. I am so thankful that they care about others enough to share their testimonies & be of service to others.
The next day Bryce decided that we needed to go over & clean up (& recycle) where the guys just drop their trash. In scouts Bryce learned about recycling, so he is always going to the lots where houses are being built to clean up after the messy workers.
This week as I sat in Sacrament meeting I just felt so blessed for the wonderful children that I have. Bryce, for his sweet spirit. He always makes sure that we read our scriptures & is always sharing his testimony with others. Brayden, for the way he keeps us laughing. He is always being funny & making us laugh. He also has a way of making you feel better when you are upset or hurt. He loves to get the girls going at times, but when they need comfort or love, he is always there. Savanah, for her helpful heart. She really loves to help lately & loves being a big girl. She at times will sneak up to her room & clean it before you even ask her & helps her little sister with her bed. Sierra, for her loving & funny spirit. She loves to make people laugh & her giggle is contagious. She also is a great comforter to those in need.
I just feel really blessed to have 4 wonderful children that end up teaching me at times!

I just love my grandkids. They ARE really sweet and thoughful.
You do have great kids! It was fun to read what you love most about each one of them! I got to know Bryce better than the others since I had him in my Primary class for a little while. I hope that Dallin will be compassionate, helpful, and have the courage to share the gospel like Bryce! He was always a good example to me of how we should treat others.
I also have a random request for you! After I had Dallin you brought us a yummy dinner and I would love the recipe! It was a chicken and rice dinner in a 9 X13 pan. We loved it and I'm always looking for new recipes!!
Hi Morgan! I will send you some recipes. I remember the recipe you are talking about. I love seeing your post also. Dallin is such a cutie!
