Alec lost another tooth...I told him we could paint his face orange and he could be a Jack-o-lantern for Halloween! He didn't like that idea.
Ashlyn had her 2 month appointment this last week and weighed in at 13lbs. She is growing too fast for me. I want her to stay small.
Garrett loves pre-school but has learned from his older brother to complain about going. The primary program is coming up and Alec and Rachel are memorizing their parts. Ashlyn started smiling it is so fun.
I am in the YW presidency and get to participate in some fun things...last night the General YW President Elaine Dalton came and spoke at a fireside for the Clearfield youth. It was incredible. She shared some fun experiences about when she was a youth and when she received her calling. She said she was pretty lonely as a youth and so she was a straight A student and memorized her patriarchal blessing. She shared with us that it said she would visit the nations of the earth and didn't realize what it meant until she met with President Monson and received this calling 6months ago.
I was given the counsel to memorize my patriarchal blessing when I was younger so that The Lord could bring things to my remembrance. It has been really fun to have The Spirit whisper to me the words of my blessing at times when the promises were being fulfilled. I would encourage all my nieces and nephews to do this. It also helps you to keep an eternal perspective and make good choices. If it talks about your future spouse, like mine does, it helps you know if you are dating the right people, etc.
President Dalton committed the youth to be 100% at...
