first day of school

So yesterday I only posted pictures and today I am only writing. It was Ariel's first day of first grade today. She really likes her teacher and knows some of the kids in her class. Adriana's preschool starts next Wednesday.
Dallin rolled all the way over for the first time today. Annika is saying all kinds of new words. Today she climbed up on the couch next to Adriana and said, "Move," very emphatically. She has a tiny toy pig that she carries around all day and says "My baby pig." She can say a lot of colors: yellow, blue, pink, orange, purple, green, but she gets them mixed up. She says "up and down" when she is playing on the playset
I really love how Emily is always blogging about new books or movies or products. Here are my two new finds although they may not be as cool as Emily's, they made me happy. The first is a good "family" movie called "Chestnut: Hero of Central Park." It's good for little girls. And the other is what my dear husband gave me for our anniversary. It is called an action hoe. Last year he didn't believe me that I REALLY wanted a ladder for my birthday, but now he understands that I can get excited about gifts from Home Depot too.

Well that is all for now

Anonymous said...: Tell Ariel we said congratulations on being a first grader! I was going to call last night to wish her luck but then I wasn't sure if today was the first day. Hope she loved it. I've got to get Rebekah's e-mail address and tell her about her niece who is in my friend Jen's 1st grade class.

I love that you're excited about a hoe. :) Don't worry, I'm currently really excited about some new file folder labels...

And we'd love to have you come down and see us. I think the only night we'll be home this week is Thursday tho. I'll call you or e-mail you soon. Sorry about the phone tag!; August 28, 2007 at 12:26 AM

Favorite Quotes

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

-Marianne Williamson

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery

We need always to ask what we are doing to our spirit. Is the divine within us being nurtured, or do our actions prevent the Spirit from becoming the predominant force in our lives?
-Kathleen H. Hughes

Verse of the Day

Feb 17, 2011 Moses 6:32 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Go forth and do as I have commanded thee, and no man shall pierce thee. Open thy mouth, and it shall be filled, and I will give thee utterance, for all flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good. 33 Say unto this people: Choose ye this day, to serve the Lord God who made you. 34 Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me. My thoughts: If God could give Enoch power to teach the people He also gives me power to teach my children, I need to remember to rely on that. May 25,2010 Matthew 14 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? March 1, 2010 Helaman 3:21 ...And they began to grow up unto the Lord.
