A Bunch of Pictures!

It has been forever since I posted the cute little face of Ben and Kade. So, here are a few from as far back as Easter till now. Flying kites outside the "Enoch house". (Aw, sniffle sniffle. Love that house.)Kade holding fast to his kite with grandma. I can't get enough of that smile!
Kite flyin' with Dad...it got up there higher than that even. It was a Buzz Lightyear one of course.
Easter hunts -always a good idea. Ben's just like me. I close my eyes in almost every other picture.
I just loved this one 'cause Joe and Ben were both walking in sync.(Cute is as cute does.)

Kader-bum just about to dump his basket. He found alot.
My "silly Billy", one of Ben's many nicknames. He's wearing a BYU wig.

The big Jumping Jacks place here in St. G. This was only a quater of the room.....it was awesome! THe boys went crazy, had a blast, and wore them selves out!! LOVE THIS PLACE.

You can get the gist of just how fast Ben was movin' down this HUGE slide!
Kade -ever so chill. Love this little guy!
Cousin Ashton taking Ben for a ride on his real motorcycle. The first of MANY rides!!

Kade cruisin'! Kade loved it! (It was not fast and just one the side walk, plus Ashton is an incredibly great kid ,who I trusted.
Horse rides after cousin Stan's baptism! First time for Ben and Kade! The ever reliable Ashton helpin' me out so my little one could go. Thanks Ash!



Big boy! He could go by himself.



More to come. Just had to post something, sicne it's been so long.

Speaking and a Calling.

Today Joe and I had to speak in church. We were able to pick any article from the conference Ensign. I spoke on attending the temple. Love it! I really like our new ward. Great bishopric and very friendly people. Even the young man who spoke before me, told me good job when I sat down. We were both told A LOT that we did really well.....and that's always nice to hear. At least we've gotten the speaking out of the way and were able to make a good first impression.

The bishop had wanted to see us before we spoke, I thought "He's wanting to meet us and get to know us a little." Wrong! Out of nowhere, he states that the Relief Society has been needing a new teacher and would I be willing to except the call to teach once a month. Whoa -we've only been here three weeks! But, I absolutely excepted and started trying to absorb the idea.
I have taught in the R.S. many times before -I've served in the R.S. presidency even, but this is a whole new venture -it will be the first time I will be teaching to women older and wiser than myself -women who have more life experience etc.

I know the Lord gives us callings to stretch us, and I do like teaching, so I am excited for the call. My goal is to let the Spirit teach my lessons. If I can do that I will be successful.
