Happy St. Patrick's Day!

As usual it was a chore and in the midst of it all I remembered just how crazy I am. However, they always turn out better than I think and afterwards I did say, "It wasn't that bad!"

The individual shots were good too but, I'm not going to post those. I try to have the children's individual photos taken early each year between January and March then a Family Photo taken sometime between September and December (working in a window of time works better for me... hehe).

Happy Clover Day as we say!

Didn't you Know?

My morning conversation with DC:
DC: "Mom, why are you reading the Book of Mormon?"
Me: "So that I can learn about Jesus and the things he would want me to do."
DC in a whisper: "Well, you should listen to your children because they know more about Jesus."

"Ahhhh Pennsylvania"

Close your eyes... and imagine the movie LION KING. In the beginning the chant begins with...
"Ahhhh, Pennsylvania..."
Quotation provided by DC age 6

Here is what it really says:

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father]
Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama

Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place]

[Chant repeats]

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

The Second Article of Faith

I enter the office and I can smell a dirty diaper. Spencer is on the floor by the shelves, somewhat hiding.
Me - "Spencer, I need to change your dirty diaper."
Spencer -" I know, Mom. I am doing this so that I can be punished for my own sins and not for Adam's transgression."

Update

I need and want to blog more however, children call and at the end of the day... my bed calls me.
