Alcatraz, Talent Show and silliness

We were able to go as a family to Alcatraz! The kids really enjoyed it and they all expressed that they never want to go to a place like that, ever!

On the boat before docking

Meliah has always been Lizzy's second mom. She just worries and cares for her so much, I love that!

Waiting to take off to the island

It ended up being a really nice day! The teacher suggested hats and coats, it was cute seeing some of the kids with their winter hats and coats on (their parents weren't there to say they didn't have to wear 'em)

We got to participate in the 2nd Annual Primary Talent Show on Saturday. It was really fun and amazing how many different kinds of talents that were displayed and performed. Some of the kids even deplayed some art projects that had completed. This was the coolest sign! The ends of the stars had blinkie lights and I just loved it!

Lizzy sang a Katie Perry song, "You change your mind"

Meliah sang while she played the piano, "Home on the Range"

Christian planned on playing a song on the piano and participating in a group thing but he had a TOC baseball game scheduled in Wheatland. There weren't enough players that showed up on Christian's team so they had to forfeit. I took pictures of him at home to include him. He plays the piano like he's running a race as fast as he can.


This is just a random picture of Aaron wearing his new camping backpack. He was able to fit Lizzy in there.

Hey, I like your sign picture...it shows the flashing lights. My flash drowns out the flashing lights. Any-who, your kids were great...did you get a picture of Christian's group at the talent show? If not I have a ton!
Thanks for coming and supporting the Primary! I am blogging mine tomorrow.

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!
