100th Day of school

I love that the kids school celebrates the 100th day of school every year. It is especially fun for Kindergarteners because they make a special project that has 100 items in it to bring to school Corbin chose to bring in 100 pokemon cards (because those are his favorite things of all times). So we helped Corbin make his 100 pokemon cards into a tower that he displayed at school. He also made a necklace with 100 fruitloops on it and he got a crown and had a party at school to celebrate this day.

Scouts

Trevor LOVES scouts. Here he is getting his Bear award. He has been inviting a friend from school to come to scouts every week and he finally was able to come last night (4-25-13). His friend said that he had the best time ever. :)

Everyone needs a video camera

Yesterday, the kids and I watched some old videos of Trevor from when he was 2. It makes me wish that I video taped everything my kids said when they were that little. Their little voices and the cute things they say.
I LOVE IT! On all of the Christmas videos we took that same day Trevor kept saying over and over again, "That's so nice! That's so nice Mommy!"
Melts my heart.

(We only had our little digital camera to take videos so it is slightly grainy)

Jesus loves the animals

Corbin: Mom, if you hit a bird with your car would the President (of the USA) tell the police officers to give you a ticket.

Me: Probably not. It's just a bird and it would be on accident.

Corbin: If I were the President I would tell the police officers to give you a ticket.

Me: Really? Why?

Corbin: Because I learned from Sister Taylor in primary that Jesus loves all the animals and doesn't want them to get hurt.

Saying prayers

I have been saying tons of prayers for this little boy and his family the past couple of days.

Sister Tok

We love the missionaries that serve in our ward. We've had the best ones I'm sure of it. A close friend, and missionary just left for home yesterday. We will miss her. Angela Baker had a going away dinner for her that we attended.

Sister Tokunaga came over to our house many times for dinner, taught the kids about God and Jesus and the Plan of Salvation, taught the kids how to hula dance (she is from Hawaii!) and shared many fun moments and lots of hugs with my kids. We will miss her.

Ugh. My camera is not working properly and all of my pictures turned out blurry. Posting anyway!:)

Just pretend they are sharp and clear.

We love you Sister Tokunaga! p.s. Ashlyn really wants to move to Hawaii now so that she can be neighbors with Sister Tokunaga. :)

NUMBER ONE SPEECH

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

"There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

"Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

"Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

"It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.

"And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

"I don't say these things because I believe in the 'brute' nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he's exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
