Crazy!

Today was my crazy and interesting day. In fact it has been a crazy and interesting month. But today was just crazy or fun whatever you want to call it. I got up early to go Personal Train and came home got the kids ready, and walked Jillian to school. When we got there Jillian was limping because her shoe was bothering her (I told her not to wear them). Well I knew I couldn't let her go all day with a sore foot so I walked home picked up the flipflops and walked back. I would have driven, but our car was dead and has been for 2 weeks. I walked back home and when I got there I heard a loud high pitched noise. I figured it was the fire alarm. You think I would have felt the front door to see if it was hot but nah, I just went in. Of course the alarms were on the fritz. I started to take them all down and take the batteries out (while the boys hung out in the backyard) but that did not work. Anyway long story short, I found out it was Jillians room on the fritz so I pushed the button on hers and they all stopped. The funny thing is we just came up with a fire emergency plan for Jillians Homework the day before. Thank goodness Jillian was not home because she would have freaked out.
Thanks to everyone who helped me out, because I wasn't sure at first how I was going to go about turning them off.

Jillian having fun!

Jillian is at such a fun age.
The first 2 pictures below are pictures from Jillian's completion of her Hip Hop class. She did awesome! I have the dance on video but for some reason it would not load onto my blog. But I can say that she really got into the dance. This made me happy because I could see her confidence come out and I love it when my kids have confidence.

The pictures below are pictures from Jillian's Movie night. There were a total of 9 girls and one friend for Bradley. We had to get the wiggles out before we watched the movie so we played freeze dance and music bump (similar to freeze dance). The girls than started the movie which was Nancy Drew (I think they all liked it). By the end of the movie there was popcorn all over the floor and the girls were having a pillow fight. My friend and next door neigbor said it looked like some type of sorority party. I think they all had a blast and there was no lasting damage to my house so all in all it was a very fun evening.

Ready To Go and Do!

I loved General Conference this weekend! I am always excited to hear the words of the Prophet and Apostles. I feel renewed and ready to go out and do better. I think it is so necessary to hear from them so often because it is so easy to become casual in our callings etc. The message I gathered from conference was Come Unto Christ, Repent, Be consistent, Keep the commandments Love more, Learn how to receive revelation, Read the Book of Mormon and gain a testimony of it (Go Elder Holland) and of course have HOPE the future is bright. I am not perfect and I have so many things to work on but I am grateful to have wonderful leaders to follow that share their imperfections and perfections with us and tell us that we too can become better by following the Prophet, keeping the commandments, and Coming unto Christ. I am ready to do better and I am ready to go and do!
