Church Art

I love the creations Caitlin comes up with during church.

She did this one for Rusty.

I thought these two big eyed girls were cute too.


Another Birthday Party

Saturday, Alaina had another friend's birthday party to go to.  This one was at our favorite place - the Discovery Center.  It was for a girl in her school class.  She loved getting to play with Katleigh.
But she really enjoyed playing with Matrix.  She talks about him all the time.

Here they are "fixing" a car.


And building a castle.

Birthday Party

Saturday we were invited to a birthday party for a girl in Alaina's primary class.  It was such a nice day for a party at the park.  The girls loved playing with all the kids.

Running down the hill.  They did this over and over and over.

Scripture Study

I've been trying to be better about my personal scripture study.  I saw online someone selling some templates to organize their notes and I thought they were cute so I designed my own.
 
I got all excited about them and then learned they weren't very practical for me.  Right now, the most quiet introspective time I have is at work.  So I normally try to find 15-30 minutes at lunch or in the mornings and it's just easier for me to take my notes electronically since I am at my desk.
 
But if I was doing my study at home, these would be great for my note taking.  If anyone wants a copy, let me know!
 
I've got one for notes by chapter.
 
Lessons Learned - could be used with a chapter by chapter study or by principle study. 
 
If you want to study a principle at a time.  I really enjoy doing this rather than chapter by chapter.
 
And then one sheet for chapters where there is a lot of symbolism -  

Weekend

I feel like all I post is the girls at the Discovery Center, but they would be happy going there every day.  So that's pretty much what we do every Saturday!













Growth Spurt

A while back, Rusty put up some tape on his closet to measure Caitlin's growth.  It's been fun to see how much taller she is getting.  He realized this week that it was a year and a day since the last time we measured her.  Can you see the difference in a year?  Over 2 inches!!  No wonder none of her dresses are long enough anymore!
