What Does YOUR Husband Do In Sacrament Meeting? Part 2

Last month our ward organist had knee surgery. Unfortunately for me, I am the only other person in the ward that knows how to the play the organ. (I am grateful for my talents but sometimes I wish no one knew about this one. One day Brent tried to help me come up with an excuse so I didn't have to do it anymore. He offered to cut off one of my fingers. Tempting as it was, I declined.) So I have been stuck with this job for the past several weeks (and who knows for how many more) in addition to my calling as a Relief Society instructor (I love teaching RS!) I spend my sacrament meetings sitting on the stand next to the organ and that leaves my "4" children without adult supervision.

When we got home from church yesterday, Brent said, "Wanna see what I did in Sacrament Meeting?" (Almost like a Sunbeam saying, "Mommy, guess what I did in Primary!) Contrary to the artist's depiction, Damon is not a nose-picker!

In Brent's defense, I don't blame him for not paying attention to the speakers. One was this just-barely returned missionary that was so dang over-dramatic! As he spoke he kept changing his voice to a whisper, trying to acheive the oh-so-spiritual effect. He was trying too hard and it just wasn't working for him. I was sitting behind him and I wanted to throw my hymn book at him. (Yeah, I realize I'm probably going to hell now.) The other speaker was a high-councilman. His talk wasn't too bad, much better than the RM but still...it was high-council week.

GiveAway!!

I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Parade

Brittany decided to join the marching band this year. She plays the marimba. The band participates in a lot of parades and marched in the River Heights parade last Saturday. I thought Maya would enjoy the parade so she and I went and watched Brittany. Since the pit section cannot march with their instruments, they hold the shields and march in front of the rest of the band. Brittany is the last on on the right, holding the "T".

New House

We are building a new house!  This project has been in the works for a long time and we chose to keep it a secret until "Dig Day" because of how frustrating the process has been.  We began this adventure in February 2013 when we found the "lot of our dreams".  This piece of land was perfect.  Perfect location (in Providence), perfect size (0.96 acre), perfect orientation (house will face west).   The development process was long and difficult.  Providence City is not easy to work with.  Their requirements are extensive and often times ridiculous and unnecessary.  We've jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to where we are. We are building with Mt. Sterling Custom Homes.  They have a great reputation for designing and building high quality homes.  I had found a house plan that I really liked, had done some tweaking myself, then took it in to Mt. Sterling's designer to have it smoothed out and fix some areas that weren't q...
