1. Tuesday when I was driving the kids to school, Charity said, "Mom, you forgot to read a story from the friend!" It made me happy that she had actually missed it.... it's one of my new things and I didn't want it to be something I was only doing for myself. So after a few seconds of thought, I decided to tell them my own story, from my life, to make up for it. I told them about the time I was driving out to Sandy for a mission farewell (this was when I was in college) and I noticed I was almost out of gas. I knew it would be pushing it to not get gas. But it was of course, Sunday and I couldn't bear the thought of breaking the Sabbath. I said a prayer. I asked Heavenly Father to please help me get there and back home safely and without running out of gas so that I would not have to go to the gas station. I knew that he would help me. I wished I had just remembered to get it the night before and I remember wondering if maybe he wouldn't help me just because I needed to learn my lesson about preparing for the Sabbath, but I still tried to have faith. Well, sure enough, he helped me get back to Bountiful, AAAALLL the way up the hill and home. And then even made it so I was able to get to the gas station in the morning without running out. It was a neat experience for me and the kids actually listened and enjoyed it. The reason I wanted to write about this was because Charity in her sweet, newly baptized little Spirit voice, said, "That's amazing that prayer can be so powerful!!" I just loved that and can't get over it. She's such a sweetheart and so enthusiastic about the gospel. It makes me smile.
2. Nate and Brad got to go to the Jazz game Wednesday night. They had a total blast! Brad was screaming (hoarse, but still screaming) when he got home, telling me all about how much yelling he did, and how he got his OWN hot dog, his OWN chips, and his OWN big people drink. I loved hearing about it :). Hopefully I can get Nate to make a post about it, but just in case he doesn't I want to have record of it. He bought his little brother, Luke, a new Jazz hat "so that he can wear it when he watches Jazz games" and the girls got his free pins that they handed out. He also got a free t-shirt at the door which he spilled ketchup on and when he pulled it out of the bag to show me he says, "and this is my shirt!! it has a stainbut you can get it out, huh mom!" LOL!!! No, there was no space between stain and but. He was so adorable about it. And yes, Brad, I can get it out!!! My new Oxyclean obsession. It's been the only thing I can use to get Erika's poopoo stains out. Anyway. I'm glad Nate and Brad got to go on a date.... I really want the kids to get more one on one time (I know I"m always saying this, it's cuz I do)..... hopefully our new plan will work.
3. When I came out of the bathroom this morning, cute little Luke was laying there with Erika in the funniest pose!!! I SO wish I'd grabbed the camera. Erika was laying down in her normal spot, but Luke was laying with his lower half off of the bed, but with his head up on the bed. He had wrapped Erika's legs around his neck so that it looked like she had him in some kind of choke hold. And he was giggling and screaming, "Ewika got me MOM!!! She got me!!!" LOL!!! There is no end to his comedy.... he's just always having fun or making it. I love it. And the look on Erika's face was hilarious. She's like, "What is he doing down there?? sounds funny, but what??" With this half smile. She really does get all giddy when Luke's coming. Like she's wondering what's gonna happen this time :)
