Sunflower Six: What is a mom to do?

What is a mom to do?

As we were rushing out the door for church this morning, Sydney comes out of the bathroom looking like this. This is not how I had done her hair for the day, but how she decided she wanted to wear it, and she did it all by herself! I could not swallow my pride and let her go out in public like this, but I did ask her to pose for a picture. Bless her heart, she has such a free spirit and I love her to pieces.

Now days when I tell my Alivia to go get ready to go somewhere, she always comes running with her snow boots on. Rain, snow, or shine. And she has decided that she doesn't like me to do her hair either. She is constantly taking it out. So most of the time she looks like an orphan. It drives me crazy. And Danika is a whole other story. I literally have to look the other direction when she leaves for school. Her hair is a mess, she won't let me touch it. I think most people understand so I don't even bother. She can do her hair, but I do put my foot down with other things.; February 9, 2009 at 10:24 AM

Innocence of a child....

Driving along the freeway in Lehi there is a new little amusement park called Liberty Land. They have a very large imitation of Mount Rushmore with the heads of the Presidents of the U.S. Sydney's see's it and says,"Hey, there's the Godhead!"

While passing through Farmington, NM, we saw a car graveyard. The cars were all lined up in rows and rows and more rows. Morgan says, "Hey, are those cars stuck in rush hour traffic?"

While reading how the Nephites and Laminites are always fighting, Sydney says, "How do you fought?"

Thought provoking thoughts...

A.S.A.P

Always Say A Prayer.

Don't count the days,

Make the days count.

Life is not measured by the breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Prayer changes things.

“Don't spend your life with someone you can live with, spend it with someone you can't live without"

"If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self esteem first, and the house later. I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off the watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd take more hikes, and fly more kites. I would stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging."
