Your Purse'onal Journey

I'm planning the Relief Society Enrichment birthday night for March. I am meeting tomorrow to plan for it and we will be discussing our "purse" theme. I came across this hilarious song. I think it'd be funny to sing it at the Enrichment party! We will also being doing other fun games that night related to purses and having all the sisters bring their purses, full of everything they have in it. Should be a fun night!
(tune: Count Your Blessings)

When upon life's journey you are lost and poor, Do not be discouraged, you'll not miss the store. Count your many purses, every doubt will fly You've been spending money as the days went by.

Are you ever burdened with a purse of care? Does the purse seem heavy you are called to bear?Count your many purses, every doubt will fly And you will be singing as the sales go by.

When you look at others with their purses new Think that life has promised more than that to you. Count the many purses from which money did fly You're a busy woman with your goals set high!

So amid life's stages whether old or young, Think about each purse and how they made life fun. Count your many purses, each has tales to tell. Count your many purses, and your heart will swell.

Chorus:
Count your purses Name them one by one Count your purses See what deeds you've done Count your purses, They make life more fun Count your many purses See what you have done.

Kira,

Sounds like a fun night. And I just read your post about Alyssa's speech. Can I just tell you I have the same problem here. Carson turned 2 in October and still can hardly say anything. I have him show me what he wants. He understands absolutely everything though. Kaden was the exact same way. I stressed big time because my girls talked way early. Everyone just said, oh, he's a boy they talk later. He was 3 and you could still barely understand a thing he said, so I did take him to the school to be tested and he started going to speech. He was probably 3 1/2 when he started. I don't know what to do about Carson because I don't love the speech teacher now and I don't know how much he'd benefit from it. I'm sure there are things they do to help them, but I just wonder at his age how they get them to talk. I try all the time to get him to say words and he trys, but it just comes out as noises. And every word is the same sound. Oh, dear. I don't know what to tell you. I do know that by the age of 2 they should be saying a good amount of words. So good luck. Jen

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
