Reedy is helping me in the front garden.
This is what Pat picked at a birthday party to have painted on his face- A SNAKE:)
Madalyn Mae is almost 7 months old! I cannot believe how fast she has grown. I love dressing her up in pink outfits and frilly dresses! I feel so blessed to be a mother. I know that this is a divine calling and I just hope that I can raise these beautiful children to be wonderful people who make a difference in this ever changing and challenging world. I am grateful that my boys love to go to church- they love to learn about the Savior and LOVE to tell me about everything they talk about. I have been thinking about how blessed I have been lately. It has been a while since I have "counted my blessings" and I think I need to stop and "smell the roses" more often! I love my little family!!
I was asked to give the lesson in Relief Society this Sunday. I am SOOOO nervous! It didn't bother me to give lessons to the Young Women when I was a counselor, those lessons are on my level- they tell you what to say, what questions to ask and what scriptures to read. I am having a hard time trying to get enough time to concentrate on a lesson- epecially with a baby who is clingy! Then, to top it off, while we were having some play time outside, I sprained my ankle. I can't get around, Pat has to go up and down the stairs with Mady so I can crawl and the dishes keep getting stacked higher and higher! Oh woe is me right? :) Well, if any of you have read or have had lesson 11 out of the Joseph Smith book and have any insights, let me know! And if any of you have creative ideas- feel free to share! I just hope that I can stand on my ankle by then:)

Oh, no. Hope your sprain gets feeling better! I would be scared out of my mind to give the lesson! I'm not a huge fan of public speaking, unless I get to pick the subject! I'll be thinking of you on Sunday! :) Good Luck!!
I'm sorry about your sprain Calise, I hope it gets better. About talking in public...I have always been scared of that because i am afraid i will bore people or they wont like how I teach. One of my first grown-up callings in a ward was RS teacher. I was terrified when I got the call...but that soon faded away and became my favorite calling...everyone is so nice and non-judgemental when you are up there..in fact lots of people came up to me afterwards and said how much they loved my lesson even though I thought I did a bad job. Eventually, my confidence was lifted. So dont worry I am sure you will do great!
Taylor says to wrap your ankle in lots of fabric and stuff and it will feel better
I am so sorry about your ankle! I am also sorry that I missed your lesson...and your treats! I am sure you did wonderful.
Calise! Your kids are cute cute cute! How do you know Amber & Philipp Schmit? I grew up with Amber! So anyway so want me to do that tag thing and I don't know how to do it. let me know. It is probably so easy. Maybe i will mess around and see if I can get it to work.
Thanks for the comment you left on my blog. It seems like yesterday that you and Nicole were friends and now you hacve 3 adorable kids. Time flies. I will probably do some blog-stalking to.
Oh, we're finally back in town and I'm so sad that 1) you sprained your ankle and 2) I missed your lesson! I'm sure you did a great job...
Love the pictures of the kids outside...that's one of my favorite parts about this time of year -- evening walks and playing at the park.
