Lonely night


Last night Erik was at school studying late and Ethan crashed on me at dinner, he looked so pleasant luckily his chair was high so he could lean back on it or I think he would have face planted in his food. So Sadie and I watched American Idol until she crashed on me!

Mothers Who Know

Today we started a Enrichment group called Mothers Who Know, it is really exciting because, I just like to think that I am a mother who knows but I'm not! So now I can get inspired each month with some good talks and lessons on raising my family and being a good mom! Here is Julie B. Beck Relief Society General President she is the one that gave a talk about Mothers Who Know! This is just a piece of her talk. If you want to read the whole talk look on my favorite sites.

"Mothers who know are nurturers. This is their special assignment and role under the plan of happiness. To nurture means to cultivate, care for, and make grow. Therefore, mothers who know create a climate for spiritual and temporal growth in their homes."

We also started a Family Home Evening Packet exchange, I am also really excited for this one. We each pick a topic from the conference talks put a lesson together with the whole works, song, game, treat idea and then just make enough for everyone, which there are 13 of us doing it! So that means we will have a ton of lessons to pick from each Monday!

Hey Diddle Diddle

Ethan has been singing this song for a few days now, I get a kick out of it every time!

Yummmm

I made the easiest cookies in the world last night for our FHE treat, They were sooo good!
Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip!

One box Spice Cake mix
One 15oz can pure pumpkin
1/4 cup of chocolate chips (or more if your like me)

Preheat 375 cook for 10-13 min
Just stir those two things together and then spoon onto a greased cookie sheet.
They come out sooo soft, and tasty!!

These cookies take me back to my early days when we live in Riverton Ut. my best friend (Lindsay) her mom made Pumkin cookies and they were sooo good! Thanks for the love of Pumpkin Cookies Rita!
