In honor of a day of change all over America I thought I was ready for a change too. What d'ya think of the new wallpaper folks? I love Valentine's Day so I wanted something sweet and "Valentiney". :O)
8th grade boys beware! Same to you 7th grade boys! This crazy kid is starting 4th grade. So glad he get to walk to school every day with 2 of his buddies. Lady killers is what these three are. And once again, they're off!
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday. The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made. She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming. Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and Lexie with Emily and Molly and Mallory and Kylie H. and Kaly the Lloyd twins and Abbey Megan Kaylie W. Michaela and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before. What a lucky
