Monday night, so much to say.....I just remembered something from Saturday. I had run my little mile and was taking a shower. Chad was working so, not home. I hear blood-curdling screaming coming from Eva. I shouted for someone to tell me what was happening as I was not exactly in a position to jump out of the shower.....Well, they didn't. I hurried and got out to see what the problem was. Eva was sitting on the stool by the front door with her foot up and covered with blood. There was blood everywhere! A rather large pool in her shoe and a good sized pool on the floor directly beneath her foot. I was aghast to say the least. I ran down to see just what the damage was. It turned out that she had actually re-injured her ankle. She had done a carpet-burn style thing to it last Saturday and Saul had run into her on his bike and torn it open. One would not think there would be so much blood! But there was.....We had a little talk about first aid and what to do first. (Saul was standing by her offering her a couple of very small band-aids when I came down to asses the situation) So, after a lot of crying and wailing and such, we had her all fixed up and running again. Aren't kids fun!?!

Sunday, Chad had a speaking assignment in church. I had Saul sit with him and was planning on having the other three. However, Chad took Eva and Jesse down to sit with Grandma and Grandpa. Eva stayed but Jesse wouldn't . He was fine with me on the stand but Eva sulked the entire meeting. Then, she refused to go to primary because she was upset that the boys got to sit up on the stand with us and she didn't. After a pancake and a hug, she was fine. The workings of a little girl......I will never understand, Chad is still trying to figure it out too!

Monday, we had a fun family activity. Chad loaded up the bikes in his truck and met us at the park after school. Chad and I roller bladed and the kids all rode their bikes. It was a lot of fun. They followed directions well. We then got pizza, which was actually the highlight for me......and ate at home. Then Eva was stung by a wasp and that was rather traumatic for her. I got her set up with an ice pack and she is fine now.

As I was putting the kids to bed tonight, I was thinking how thankful I am for their faith. They are a good example to me. They each kneel by their bed and say their prayers mostly by themselves. It is nice to hear them talk with their Heavenly Father and really believe that he hears them. I love to gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so happy to know that I can be with my family for all eternity!

I'm tired and need to get to bed!
