More of Disneyland!




I thought this picture was really cool! Ammon and Meliah were pretty excited that Tigger came and patted their heads! So, I must post this picture because there is a hilarious story behind it. We were watching a parade, the kids were all sitting on the curb, and unfortunately we sat in a position that we all had to look to our left to see anything. There was a lady standing right on the edge of the curb that was standing up impeding the kids from seeing a whole lot. Davis is sitting by her and I was sitting in a position that I could see all the kids trying to see around her. It was really a funny sight! After the parade, Davis' sword thing ended up missing! Evidently that same lady thought it was her son's and grabbed it and put it in her bag. We asked her if she had seen it! She was a bit embarrassed when she realized she had two of them. Davis was happy and we now have a funny story!

Poor kids...poor lady, to bad she never looked behind her at all those kids trying to see around her. You needed someone to yell, "down in front", like Jon did when we were in your same situation, it was very embarrassing, but it worked. I'm glad you had a good time!!!

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!
