Our little homestead is a work in progress. This years motto: Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, or do without! We have a sweet flock of hens, 9 children (5 are adults and visit now and then) and 3 grandkids who are a delight. We believe in the atonement of Jesus Christ, that kindness is magic, that God created a amazing world for us, and that Life is an joyous adventure!

Wesley and Roxi
Wesley loves the Roxi (the new puppy). The puppy was laying on the edge of the dog bed about a foot away for the dog dish of water. Wesley went between the bed and the dog to pet Roxi. While crouch down the lost his balance and sat in the dog's water!

Puppy
We have a cute new puppy so that Maddi (our basset hound) won't be so lonely and so the little kids can pet and love a dog, Maddi is not it to the little kid love. Working on a name so far Roxi is winning!
Martina
Martina enjoyed her first debate and had a really good time. She also decided to text Herman (her father) her cell phone number. To her delight and surprise he text her a "Thank you" in the middle of Sacrament Meeting. They had a very nice text message conversation after church! She was ecstatic and is hoping for more!
Church
We did better this Sunday, Wesley just pointed across the aisle for more bread! Ryan had guard so I manned the crew alone! They were exceptional. Taylor spoke! When I went to rock Wesley in the back Esperanza cried so I ended up rocking two toddlers in the back that got heavy fast so I went to sit down in the mothers room. Esperanza fell asleep instead of Wesley! He is not old enough to go to the nursery but they kindly took him when I explained the situation. The nursery leaders are lifesavers! She woke up three fourths of the way through Sunday School. So I took her to the nursery and swapped for Wesley. I had just enough time to get him to sleep before Young Womens! Wesley woke up about three fourth of the way through Young Women's. I actually got to listen to three fourths of my two meeting! (Doesn't happen very often)!

Wesley and the Sacrament
At first, he just cried when the sacrament passed him by. So the next week we gave him a piece of bread and some water. Before long he realized it went back and forth done the rows behind us and he would watch it. Then he discovered that the deacons line up in the back and walk down the aisle. The Sunday after that when they started walking he turned around in my lap and got down and tried to follow them. Last Sunday he cried,"Mo Mo Mo!" as the bread got out of reach he saw that the family behind had just gotten the bread tray and asked them for Mo Mo Mo. After the water he said "NO NO NO that that that" pointing at the water as it got further down the row.

Life
Ryan goes back to school on Monday. I am excited to have a routine again and sad to have him gone again. However I will get more done and it is time to get my life back to some kind of organizaiton. I have a lot, I want to do! So this weekend will be spent figuring out where it all fits and how to get it all done without going crazy or eating the children!
