Deacon Camping Trip!





Aaron and Christian went on the Deacon overnighter camping trip to Yuba Falls. They were so tired when they got back. They said they were freezing through the night and couldn't sleep. Christian took a long nap on Saturday, but Aaron wasn't able to. Aaron said there was a lot of poison oak up there and was really worried that he'd get it. He's had it once before and he doesn't react well to it at all. Well, yesterday, 4 days later... Christian ends up with Poison Oak! He is doing really well, we got the right prescription cream and it seems to be clearing up. I think that they both learned a ton from the trip!

those pictures are beautiful! Looks like a fun trip...Poison Oak can take a hike , though ;0) Did you make sure and tell him to wash his hands "BEFORE" using the restroom? My brother didn't when we were kids and it was BAD news!!!

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!
