Saturday's Easter Egg Hunt

Decorating eggs

Christian found the jackpot!

Cousins running down the hill acting like birds! The dog joined in too!

All the youngest cousins on my side of the family

We had a wonderful day at the Pietz' house today! Ate pizza, went on an easter egg hunt, jumped on the trampoline and some of us went on a short hike. Everything was so nice except that Ivan broke his finger. He is such a tough boy though... I could tell he was hurting, but he still went on with his day. We always love to go where we can roam and enjoy the outdoors!

I wish we could have been there... it looks like it was super fun! I was telling Aaron's family yesterday about the big easter egg hunts we always had. But, we're coming this week so that's almost as good. : D

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!
