Family Home Evening Game

This is what happens when Dad is in charge of the game for Family Night! David explaining to the kids how to play the game. "Carefully cut off a side of flour with out having the penny on top fall."Okay, that is easy, right?

Melanie and Cameron take their turn.
I helped Alyssa and the penny fell. So now what? Go get that penny, of course!!
Got it!!
Round 2: Oops, Cameron made it fall. But not quite sure he wanted to put his face in the flour.
Finally he got coaxed into it. Or threatened. "You can't play this game again if you don't go get the penny. That's how you play the game!"
It was a nice effort!
Dad finally went and got it out!
There were many laughs around the table. The kids cracked up when I was the first to put my face in the flour. I don't think they really expected that to happen. Unfortunately the time change has really affected Jason. He fell fast asleep for the night at 6:30 on the couch, totally missing dinner and FHE. The kids loved it. It was a fun night!

**To play this game you need a plate, a cup of packed flour, a coin, and knives for cutting.

Kira, it looks great! I love the font you used! It took me quite a while to get it figured out as well. Next on my agenda: Making it a three-column blog. (Melissa's is 3 column.)
I'll need another free Saturday to make that work, I think! :)

What a fun time.
I don't know how I center the title. I just start writing and click the center button. I make the title a font size bigger (Sometimes it makes the whole paragraph big though). Hope it works.

Kira, You Rock! Was it difficult? I really want to do it...maybe tomorrow. Do you have to use a three-column background? I saw your Grandparents today at the Veterans Day assembly at CHS - and your Mom's choir did great! She's amazing!

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

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 ...
