Meliah's last day of School

Field Day at Luther
Lizzy got to go around with Meliah's class while I helped with one of the events
They loved the paraschute!

Meliah going the sack races, I loved how her braids bounced

Meliah with her 3rd Grade Teacher- Mrs. Barrow (Meliah has thrived in her class)

Hockey! I was in charge of this event, fortunately Brother Weaver was helping with hockey too. He demonstrated it about 10 times that morning!

Thanks for helping out! Kael had so much fun. There were so many volunteers that I just ended up walking around. I can't believe the kids are in 4th grade already!!!!!

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!
