Kerri and my friend Emily took some pictures at Elizabeth's birthday party. I have a camera now but I didn't at the time so it was very nice of them to take them and give them to me. We had a Warren cousins party on the Friday the 13th and the weather was perfect for the kids to play outside and bounce on the bounce house and play basketball. The next day the kids went to Cinderella (High School production in Gridley) with Grandma Warren and a bunch of cousins. They loved it! Aaron and I stayed at home and got ready for another party with some good friends and Aaron's side of the family. There are just too many kids on my side of the family to have one party! Anyway, Saturday was nice but a little cold! We let the kids play for a little bit, ate and then came back to the house for some games. I should have switched and just had the Saturday one at home too, but it was an adventure and Lizzy loved her parties and all her presents! She was pretty sick after her parties for a few days... it's nice to have her in good health again. One night I sat by the tub in the bathroom with her for about 2 hours... ugh!

My parenting plan!!

I have been thinking a lot lately of what I need to teach my kids to help them become independant physically, spiritually and mentally so when they turn 18 they will be able to survive on their own. The last 9 years has flown by so quickly I can't believe it. Nine more years and my first child will be old enough to be on his own. That is a real wake up call for a mother who hasn't prepared her children for those important days. I realize that I have gone on way to long without a list of what needs to be learned and done by what age so that my kids will not be horrified when they get out into the world alone. So, I've come up with a list of most everything I can think of that would be important for my kids to know and learn and what ages they should be capable. Of course, every child is different and is capable of different things at different ages. Some learn things faster and are more motivated. Others would like to just live in the home cave for the rest of their lives and have no motivation to do any of it. So, I am including my fairly flexible plan. But if you let too many years slip by, you may need to up the work to fit everything in. I got most of my ideas from a very experienced LDS author (Merilee Boyack) who has raised several children successfully! So, hopefully you find this as helpful as I do!
