To provide a loving environment that is centered around God and His commandments while effectively teaching my children to love, honor, and respect all Men no matter the race, creed, or background.
We took a field trip today to watch some cool guys play the electric violin. It was so cool. The boys really liked the show. There were some funny things about the performance but we laughed about them afterward. Like the fact that they said, "Sons of Mystro" fifty thousand times during and after each song. They asked the crowd, "How ya'll doing?" at least a hundred times during the performance. They needed a script as it was obivious they are musicians and not really performers.
Anyhow, after the show we planted a cherry tree in our back yard. YAY!
Also, today I permed and dyed my eyelashes!! Here's hoping they stay looking this good for the next two months!
Let
me be frank: Sometimes, I don't want to do anything. At all. Yesterday
was one of those days. Edward and Nolen had spent the night at my
parents house so I made plans to sleep in and do nothing. Those plans
changed early. I couldn't sleep in. I hate when that happens.
My
dad texted me around 8:30 and said he was going to take the boys to
plant some tree in the Bosque. I really wanted to stay home. I didn't
want to go.
It was cold. Rainy. AND it was Saturday!
I did not want to go.
My
dad brought the boys by at 9:30 and I let my dad have it! I was so
upset because I just wanted to spend the day doing absolutely nothing. I
acted like a child.
Then I gathered up all my warm clothes, some shovels, and water then we headed out to make the world a better place.
The
day ended up being just find. I did yell at the boys because I was
tired toward the end of the day and I should really have a handle on my
temper. Yesterday proved I don't have a handle on anything.
Today
was a new day. I repented for my lost temper. I apologized to my
children. We started the day with a prayer then went to church. Today
was a better day.
I'm not perfect and sometimes I really just don't want to do anything. At all.

For Edward's birthday party, we went to the pet shop in the mall. Edward got to hold every single lizard, snake, turtle, and spider in the store. It was awesome. He invited his two best friends, Titus and Kyle. They got along wonderfully.
After petting all the pets, we went up stairs for sushi, then went to the trampoline park to jump. Everyone had a great time.
