A few of my favorite things


I have been offered 3 different pianos since we've lived here. None of them would fit into my house. Finally, I was able to get this one. It is in such good shape, and it sounds beautiful! Looks pretty good, doesn't it? Best thing of all, it was free! I'm so happy to finally have a piano. I've been playing it a lot lately. The girls like it too, and take time to play it themselves. =)

We went to the fair yesterday. I LOVE the fair. I spent most of the day there. A few hours with the girls, and then a few more with just Randy. Emma and Kenadi loved all of the animals. After I told Kenadi we were going to the fair, she worried all day that I was going to take her on a ride. I told her that since she was worried about it, we wouldn't go on any rides. It didn't stop her from telling me "Mom? I don't want to go on the rides" about 20 times that day. We had lots of fun doing other things.


I liked this part where the kids get to pretend like they're farmers. They plant seeds, pick apples, collect eggs, pumpkins, etc., and take them to market where they get some "money" to take to the store.

Last but not least. We have "Family Home Evening" every Monday night. We sing some church songs, say prayers, and have a little lesson. This one Randy taught on why we need to read our scriptures. I love having my family together for these FHE nights. We always end our night with a song, a prayer, and a family game/activity with a treat. Kenadi loves them, and Emma usually does, except this time she wanted to hold the scriptures, and she got a little mad when Randy needed them back. I love my little family and all of the time we get to spend together.
