Christmas Wishes

2008 has been a very noisy year!  Our family spends a lot of time playing, singing, and performing music.  Music is quickly becoming our family’s main pass time.  Spencer and Quinton even went all the way to Nashville this year to compete in the International Barbershop Competition and to Colorado Springs to compete in a district competition.  They sing with the Beehive Statesmen, and are two of four men in a quartet called, All-a-Chord.  Londyn, Paije and Quinton, all

My Book

Readers, 

I have been spending a lot of time writing my Teaching Self government book lately.  It is so exciting to see the progress and know that I am getting closer to accomplishing this goal.

 Have a great Holiday Weekend

Stop Being so efficient!!!

Two days ago my son set up all of his little army figures in army formation and came to me and said, “Mom, will you play army with me?” 

The first thought I had was, ‘I can’t right now, because I am trying to get this canning done.’

The second thought I had was, ‘maybe I can play for just a few minutes to say that I did and then get back to the canning.’

Luckily, I didn’t act upon any of those thoughts.

I looked at the army guys and looked at my son’s face.  I realized that army is not a fast game, and it isn’t meant to be.  It’s meant to be a game where you figure strategy, and di
