THE Test

Today was the day! John took the first of his four big tests that he has to take to pass his CPA exam.  He has been studying like  a crazy man for the last four weeks since he was released as bishop for this.  He took it last november and got a 74, but you have to have a 75 to pass....that bites! So he retook it today.  He felt like he did a lot better this time, so hopefully he did this time.  Alot don't pass it their first time we  have found out.  One of the perks of him taking these tests is he gets to come home around noon.  We had a fun afternoon together.  Lunch, naptime and getting his car fixed, but it was fun to just be together.
Emma and I went for a fun walk with Patty and Lilly this morning while John was gone.  It was so cute to watch Emma and Lilly carry on a conversation between their strollers just like Patty and I were. For fhe tonight we invited the capells over for dinner because it was matt's birthday. We always love hanging out with them.  Last week we ended up going bowling and to pizza with them.  This sounds like it might become a habit...=)
I also was to take a dinner to the Petersons today. and i attempted to make a bread sticks.  I had to have the boys help me roll them out, and they didn't rise at all......but eventually I cooked them anyway,, and they were YUMMY!goes to show you..... don't judge a breadstick by how much it rises.

Singing Time

I got to help out in Emma's nursery today while the primary leaders attended an in service training. So much fun to be in there with Emma.  She loves her leaders and Nursery, and she especially loves snack and singing time.  After we got home, all afternoon she was singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star- the same line over and over.  A little while later as I mentioned it was naptime and I finished up what I was doing before I put her to bed, I heard her start a new song.  She started singing  "Jesus helps me find my binky, Jesus helps me find my blanky, Jesus helps me find my bunkbed." I had to stiffel a laugh as I asked her, Does Jesus help you because he loves you?.  Yes she said, he loves my dinosaur and helps him too.  I am not sure what those Nursery leaders are teaching her, but she knew that Jesus can help us when ever we need him, even in the little details of our day.  So True!

Starting Fresh

I am embarrassed at how long it has been since I blogged last.  Over a year...I am going to try to start fresh this year, and start by just journaling for a few minutes a day some of the fun things that have happened.  My kids are so grown up now! I look at the pics from just last year and it is crazy to see how they have changed! So starting today I am going to try to do a new entry each day, short and sweet with at least one thing that happened! Enjoy!
