Primary Program

We had our Primary Program yesterday. I cannot believe how excited my kids were for their parts and for the whole program. Charity kept chanting, "I'm so excited. I'm so excited" all through the sacrament. Sure is a change from how she was when she was a new little Sunbeam. I still remember her getting stage fright and not even trying to say her part before sitting down. So cute. But it was a really nice one this time. They actually had our whole family go up in the beginning while Brad introduced us as "his eternal family" then told how he is going to "strengthen our family by helping his mom and dad and always choosing the right". Then Luke, Noah (sleeping) and I all walked back down to our seats. Cute little Luke took the opportunity to JUMP down the steps of course... very characteristic of Luke.
Charity had a long part. They basically just took a chunk of one of her talks from Opening Exercises for her to read. She read it perfectly and did a great job. Kelly also had a chunk of a talk she read all by herself. Then Kelly and Brad each had another little one-liner later on, about things they had done to be helpful in their families. Kelly's was "helping her sister Charity when she slipped in a puddle at the end of the slide". And Brad's was "on the pioneer trek he pushed his sisters in the wagon". It was really fun to watch the kids this year. Charity and Kelly were very reverent, even when they were waving to Grandpa Hatch way in the back. Bradley was reverent for the most part, he got really into the music and did all of his hand motions very exaggerated, and even jumped a few times. At one point he disappeared. I can only imagine he was laying on the floor. Something about being in the spotlight really just makes Brad light up. He loves it. And he was cute :) so no complaints here. I was happy that Noah slept ALL through the meeting and Luke was a good little boy. My Mom and Dad both came. It was fun that the theme was about families this year. I LOVE that there has been so much focus on that. My kids are already so good to each other most of the time, but I think that it has really helped them to feel even closer.

Life is good. I'm still dying of anxiousness. I don't know if I've been this bad since I was pregnant with Kelly. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's a girl thing, but I have had the contractions the ENTIRE time, and just this constant feeling that I am READY! I am not nervous to have a new baby. I am sure I will be later, but at this point, the only thing holding me back from not trying to induce labor myself is the simple fact that I already have an October birthday, and I do not want another one. Come the first of November though.... we're pulling out all the stops!! jk. No, I feel like it's good for her to get all the time she needs, I just HATE WAITING!! It's really killing me. There are a few things to take up time here in the next couple of weeks. I am looking forward to Halloween and stuff with the kids. That will be fun, I'm glad I don't have to miss out on that. And I get to sing in a little trio in Relief Society this coming Sunday and then in Sacrament meeting the following Sunday (even though they think I'm crazy for accepting.... what else am I going to do????). I have LOVED being in this ward because they totally give everyone an opportunity to share their talents. I don't feel like there is anyone that is over used (and maybe that's rude of me to say, but it's really how I feel). I feel like it's been forever since I was able to sing in church. I used to do it ALL the time when I was younger (maybe I was one of the overused ones.... who knows). But anyway. I'm trying to keep myself busy. If anyone wants to give me something else to do.... by all means!
