Work Hard, Play Hard, Pray Hard: Thanksgiving

Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with Devin's Family in Sacramento. We ususally always drive the 10 hours out there but this time Devin's parents decided to fly us out, it was awesome!

We left on Monday and spent the whole week there and didn't come back until Saturday.

We had a blast hanging out with Devin's parents and his brothers and thier familyies. We had three grandchildren, 3, 1, 6 months. So fun!

"Along time ago, when I was 8 my grandchildren died" not sure where this came from.

Marianne what did you learn in nursery? "Jesus died." that it. We have been talking all week about that then on Easter he lived again.

"Mom, Which Cloud does Jesus live in?" We then had a lengthy discussion about "where is heaven?"

Spencer why don't you think of it yourself, "I can't there are no puffing clouds coming out of my head"- Like in books :)

During the sacrament hymn on Sunday Marianne stated very loudly "I don't like this song, I don't like this song" 3 or 4 times.

Spencer what do you want to buy Marianne for Christmas? "A Pink Race Track!" :) that makes it more girly I guess

Spencer can you sit down, we can't stand in the Taxi. "But I'm looking for a Hippopatamus" Oh well did you find one :), "uh. . . . oh yea there it is, ok i'm good" then he plops down.

Mom, My tummy says "Spencer feed me, please please, I'm completely empty, feed me."
Hey bud go get me a sword so I can sword fight with you,- Devin

I can't find one how about this plate (plastic toy), SPencer

Well only if you fight with a plate too.

No, here's a spoon, thats the kind of sword they use in Singapore -(small toy spoon?)

So . . Mom. . When am I going out for sports." I wasn't quite sure how to answer that question.
