Night of Excellence

Last night we had our Evening of Excellence. I think it turned out great and there were some great analogies of life that were brought up. Life is like a football game and in the pre- existence we all made a choice what team we would be on. We are all still striving to be on the Lord's side but it is sometimes hard because we have so much opposition from the other team. We have some great Young Women in the Cub River Ward and they are practicing hard to be the best they can be. We have our play books,(scriptures and For the Strength of Youth) and when we get off track of our goals we just need to get back to the basics. Saying our prayers, reading our scriptures, and attending our meetings.
We all have our tickets to get into the game and once we are in the game it is what we do with ourselves that makes all of the difference.

We have many recruits and we are excited to see what they do while in the game. We as leaders and parents are here to do all that we can to help them win this so called game of life.

Aren't these some of the best recruits you have seen!

We are going to be victorious by working together and helping each other until we get to that final goal, of course it is going to be the great "Homecoming Party" that we will have at the end when we will receive our greatest honor of "Eternal Life."

We had the coach and the Ref speak to us and give us a big pep talk on the plan of making it to our final goal. We ARE going to make it.

You Go Girls, Go Fight, Win!!

It was a great evening and one that we will remember as we go through this great game of life.

Some pictures from the week

Last week I had some special visitors to my door. I think it is the grim reaper and of course it is a green dragon. They came trick or treating but Tydon didn't want any of my treats, he just wanted to hurry down to the playroom and find the tractors and horses. He loves to come and visit me, I don't think it is to really see me, but to play with "THE TRACTOR". I don't know quite what it is about this tractor but he certainly loves playing with it. When I was watching him (while the rest of his family was in San Diego) he would play for hours with the tractors, horses, and wooden corrals. I came in to watch him and noticed that he was trying to scoop up this horse with the bucket of the tractor. I asked him what he was doing with the horse and he replied," Oh, this one is dead." and he proceeded to take it over to the other side of the barnyard and dumped it out on the floor. I think he has been watching his Grandpa Andrew at the dairy.

OOOoooh, I am scared!

This last week we also celebrated Jessica's birthday by going to Firehouse Pizza. We had fun watching cute little Lincoln and we laughed at how photogenic this cute little babe is. If I held up the camera to his face, this is the look I would get. He knows how to take a great picture and has this look every time I would hold up the camera. He would even give this look when I was just pretending to take his picture. This kid doesn't take a bad picture, he must be the grandson of a professional photographer!
