Happy Mothers Day!!! I hope everyone is doing fantastic, as you can see Brooke sure is! After church she asked if she could go run in the grass, and she was SOOO happy about it!
Also, I guess me emphasizing that I'm taller than Brooke is a theme for photos this week... but really, this one was so cute I couldn't not put it in.
Winry continues to study for... the GMAT or something. Today the study included various animals that got on the bus to go the fair. Go figure!
The weather has been pretty nice here this past week. This means that Brooke and I have been running together outside (I should get a picture of us this week), and we've spent a lot of time in the back yard! We put up Brooke's swing in the tree, and sometime I showed her lawn darts, and she loves to get them out and play! We usually only do a couple throws, and the rings are pretty close, but she has so much fun!
Also, sometimes while we play I'm sitting in a chair so I can watch Winry as well, and Brooke is nice enough to bring back both of our darts!
Brooke decided to do some "tricky" drinking this past week. There's no real story for this, it was just ridiculous!
So, a while ago Brooke saw some Frozen chapstick at King Soopers and really wanted it. We told her she could earn money to buy it by doing chores. Well, she remembered that, so this past weekend we got to her first chore, which was helping Monica weed! Sadly, we don't have a picture, or even better a video, because every time she would pull a weed she'd throw it over he shoulder, right onto Monica's head!! It was really funny, and everyone got a good laugh from it! In the end Brooke ended up earning another dollar, and she was very excited! So excited that when we got back in she decided it was time to "work some more money out!"
This past week we've heard sounds from the upstairs bathroom a few times, and we finally figured out the source! Of course it was Jelly, but how she snuck behind the blinds I do not know...
Also, this morning was bath time, and I filled up Winry's tub and put it on the floor. Jelly promptly came by to take a drink!
We went to see a friend this morning who recently had a baby. First, I figured since we have a 4 month old, a new born wouldn't seem that small, but newborns are really small! Also, Brooke saw this picture of a momma fox with it's baby and wanted a picture with it! Happy mothers day to Monica and to foxes!
Today in church we talked about President Nelson's talk from this past conference on receiving revelation. We talked about the light of Christ and how it is different or the same as revelation. The question was asked that if the light of Christ teaches all men to do good, than how do we know if something is our own thought or the light of Christ/revelation. The basic answer is that it doesn't matter, as long as it's good we should do it and it's from God. But, as one person answered they talked about how when those good thoughts come from us it is a sign of our progressing to become like God. We all want to become like God, and as we do we will personally have thoughts that align with the will of God. I thought that was a pretty cool insight!
Well, Monica is waiting for me to finish so we can play Donkey Kong, so I better go! It is Mother's Day after all!
I like that insight good thoughts and becoming like God. Thank you for sharing!
