Summer Plans

Hi ladies! We made it to Michigan; however, B of A made some mistakes with our loan and so we're living in a hotel right now! Ugh! We should hopefully close today. The boys are swimming and Amelia is napping, so I'm holed up in our hotel room finding all sorts of ideas for summer fun for our family. I found a few fun ideas I thought I would pass along if you're interested. These ideas come from the same blog, but check out all three links, very cute ideas!

Also, this story from President Hinckley is one of my boy's favorites to watch online. The first time we watched it, Tanner said, "Mom, I like this movie, it's my favorite." I asked him what he liked about it and he said he liked the way he felt when he watched. It wasn't a lengthy discussion at all, but it was a nice opportunity to talk about feeling the Holy Ghost.

For those who weren't at Cassi's shower, we talked about this blog being a great place to share thoughts and ideas about being a better mother, different ways to teach, or ideas on just how to run a home more smoothly. I hope we can all share ideas, I learn so much from each of you!

Missing you all in Michigan!!
