Ki's first primary talk

The topic that he spoke on was SERVICE. The scripture of the month in primary was Mosiah 2:17 "...when ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God." So me and Ki both decided that we would think of things to show how to serve others and then take pictures of those actions.

So after quoting the scripture Ki held up these pictures and then told his primary This is how I serve others by;

Opening the door for someone.
Waving and saying hello to people.
Shoveling snow for our neighbors.
Taking out the garbage.
Taking a meal over to someone who is sick.
Smiling
Sharing my toys with my brother and with my friends.
Making cookies and taking them to our neighbors.
When I serve others it makes me happy, and when I am happy my family is happy.
We practiced and practiced at home but Ki was really scared to stand up in front of all the primary kids. So I had to say the talk while he held up his pictures. I guess the more you do talks in primary the less scared you get. I still am proud of Ki helping me with his talk and saying it all by his self at home in front of his family. I hope he now knows how to serve others.

Happy Birthday to ME!!

My birthday was a quiet but nice day. I hung out with the boys and Elaine all day doing nothing but relaxing. The was my wish. Elaine and I did go and get a frosty from Dairy Queen and then we headed back to my house to watch Brothers and Sisters that was recorded from the previous night. For supper, Brett, the kids and I went for dinner to moxie's and then later went to pick out a birthday cake at Safeway. We went to Sharon and Dave's to blow the candles out and cut the cake. My favorite part of the day was getting phone calls and emails all day long from friends and family wishing me a happy birthday. My special day was perfect!!

The next day Brett had the day off so we went to town and I got to pick out my birthday present. I got my very own bike. I never have had my very own before so I was really excited (that's what happens when you grow up with a lot of siblings... I'm not complaining though. I loved growing up in a big family). Now I can't wait to buy a bike trailer to pull the kids in for the spring and summer months. Thank you to everyone for making my day perfect.


Happy Birthday to my Mom. We are November twins and I love having a birthday close to hers.
