Reviews anyone?

Oh how much fun that was! I just got in from puddle jumping with my Boy!! The storm has hit us tonight! The water running down the street almost came up over our feet of our rain boots and in some spots it came up to our ankles. We were not the only ones out, we found lots and lots of earth worms. Does Anyone know why that is? We felt like they were so happy for the rain that they too came out to play! Thank-you Heavenly Father for the Rain and for my boy!
My man is now starting to read #2 of a what he rates" Excellent " titled- "The Banner is Unfurled." He says, "I really Love these books!" He is impressed at how unshaken the early saints were when they decided to join the Church amid all the persecutions, "they were such Honest people!" ( I LOVE church history!! ) He said that this family built a home in the flats behind the Newell K Whitney store in Kirtland Ohio! What a beautiful place! (you know how much I Love the Ohio, don't you?) I can't wait to read them! Oh and by the way they are my Mans relatives! (I think I made a good choice for his christmas present this year, whew!) I'll keep you up on any other REVEIWS from my Man!!
Speaking of reveiws the following incident literally motivated me to put down what I was doing right then and their and do some research. I had let my children borrow a movie and watch it before I could watch first, I took the easy way out even though my feelings were unsure and uneasy I gave in to pressure thinking how bad could this animated movie be anyway? So anyhow heres my story: My little girls had their cousin "Ruthie" over to play on Saturday. After playing for awhile they came in wanting to watch a movie. They were talking about what movie to watch, Well, little Ruthie (shes five by the way) had told the girls that she wasn't allowed to watch that movie. My thought (not proud of it) was "Oh brother Bets" ( thinking about her mom) how bad could it be, really (and still not having the time to find out) and with no second thought TIME went on.
Well, date night came around (Good job to my nephew Tanner for taking state wrestling Champ! That was awesome to see!) Sunday morning came quickly. I was talking to my girl #1 (still thinking of nicknames) she's eight years-old and found out how she REVEIWS the movie. (ok, I'll tell you the name of the movie, "Shreck the third.") I asked her questions and she told me she did have to hide her eyes once. "What for I asked?" When she told me I wished I had stuck with my instincts and MADE THE TIME to find out what was coming into our home and into my sweet little sponges minds BEFORE HAND! Thats what led me to a site I had already subsribed to but wasn't finding what Daisy had told me, it was vague and left me unsatisfied. After searching for a while longer I thought of typing in "Christian Family movie reveiws" and I'm amazed at how this came as truly an answer to my prayers! www.pluggedinonline.com will be visited quite often by us. They even offer book and music reviews!!! I feel blessed to be a Mother of such sweet innocent children. We are a Family with a purpose and we just can't accept issues like this lightly. After reading about how many things I don't approve of in just "Shrek the Third" makes me more in the know but also, to have such good examples like Ruthie, mean a great deal to us! Thank-you Ruthie keep it up, and thank-you to all else who inspire us, we have GOOD TIMES together!

I'm going to do it!

It's true! Here we are... I'm doing it! I've got a blog! Having a blog has truely been on my list of things "to do" for quite some time! The other morning I was feeling quite overwhelmed from all the " to do's" That I didn't know quite what "to do!" I was telling ME that "I don't have TIME to learn things, that I already need to know them now!" I walked into the pantry looking for my bannana muffin recipe (which reminded me of another "to do" item, organizing my recipes) and here is where I found my little book. Inside I read some quotes that I had written down someTIME ago! So here it is, my new "theme" for 2008!


"Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it.
People come to be builders, for instance, by building,
and Harp players by playing the harp. In the same way, by
doing just acts, we become to be just. By doing Self-controlled
acts, we come to be self-controlled, and by doing brave acts, we
come to be brave."
~Aristotle


Just start marking those things off your list! This is my start! Maybe in a couple of days I'll figure out how to make it pretty, but for now I'm losing precious sleep TIME!
