Hide&seek

She’s finally got the concept of hide&seek down (though she still hides in the same place every time). When it was Brian’s turn to hide, he’d though it’d be funny to get inside her pack n’ play. When she discovered him there, she was MAD! And of course, we thought that was hilarious, which only made her more upset. She was reaching for her daddy (probably to throw him out, if she could), so I just put her inside with him. Well that was it - she really had HAD IT with us and the game was over.
We’re horrible, I know.

The McClellan Clan said...: i just found your blog on the moms group, I'm new there and I have to say I've seen your blog on Jen Rouskas and as I was looking I saw that you had Brady and Jocelyn on there. I was like wait a minute, I don't know this girl, how does she have my blog (cause Mines private) So I looked on it and saw your friends. I just think its crazy that we have the same name cause neither one of the names are very popular. So it made me laugh. But I have to say I'm glad your in the moms group. I think your little family is so cute!! Hope to see you around!; February 26, 2009 at 11:17 AM

Mandy said...: So funny! It cracks me up when kids get mad that you aren't playing how they want to play! Oh, and my girls ALWAYS love to hide under the sheets on my bed, that is their every time hiding place . . . although, Eden has taken up just plain hiding from me, it amazes me how many little spaces she can squeeze into and then she just sits there quietly until 1. I notice it's to quiet (which usually takes about 30 seconds) and then 2. I have looked all over and threaten to put her in time out if she doesn't come out!! (Seriously, I can't believe how many times I CAN'T find her!!) Good times!

Oh, I took the girls to a swim class at a Rec. Center yesterday. When I told them we were going to a swim lesson with a teacher named Katie, Eden said, "NO!! We need to go to swim class with our teacher Chelsea!!" She was pretty insistant and then VERY sad when I explained that we can only swim inside because it's to cold!! (BTW, are you doing swim lessons in Provo this year? I am guessing not since you guys are in Vernal now, but I thought I'd ask. I don't look forward to telling the girls that you aren't if that's the case . . . they will be heart broken! :(; February 26, 2009 at 6:45 PM

Quotes I want to remember

"The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain."
- Neal A. Maxwell

"It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters. We become enamored with men's theories such as the idea of preschool training outside the home for young children. Not only does this put added pressure on the budget, but it places young children in an environment away from mother's influence."
-Ezra Taft Benson

“Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Live the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. And bear your testimony! Don’t just assume your children will somehow get the drift of your beliefs on their own.
-Jeffrey R. Holland

"We hold in our arms the rising generation. They come to this earth with important responsibilities and great spiritual capacities. We cannot be casual in how we prepare them. Our challenge as parents and teachers is not to create a spiritual core in their souls but rather to fan the flame of their spiritual core already aglow with the fire of their premortal faith."
-Neil L. Andersen

"Certainly there are times when getting the family together to read the scriptures does not stack up as a spiritual experience worthy of a journal entry. But we must not be deterred. There are special times when the spirit of a son or daughter is just right and the power of these great scriptures goes down into their heart like fire. As we honor our Heavenly Father in our homes, He will honor our efforts."
-Neil L. Andersen

President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every father . . . and . . . mother regarded [their] children . . . as gifts from the God of heaven . . . and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.’ ”
-Susan W. Tanner

"Children are like trees. When they are young, their lives can be shaped and directed, usually with ever so little effort. Said the writer of Proverbs, 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it' (22:6). That training finds its roots in the home. There will be little of help from other sources. Do not depend on government to help in this darkening situation. Barbara Bush, wife of former U.S. president George Bush, spoke wisely: 'Your success as a family, our success as society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but on what happens inside your house.' "
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.”
-Henry B. Eyring

“Reverent behavior is not a natural tendency for most children. It is a quality that is taught by parents and leaders through example and training. But remember, if reverence is rooted in love, so is the teaching of it. Harshness in our training begets resentment, not reverence.”
-Margaret S. Lifferth

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
- M. Russell Ballard

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’?”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Security for our families comes from learning self-control, avoiding the excesses of this world, and being temperate in all things.”
-Kent D. Watson
