So our family has decided it is time to kick our butts into gear when it comes to the spiritual side of our family. We have always known that reading scriptures and praying together as a family was important but we didn't really make the time for it. With three who are so little it is easy to find a billion excuses as to why were aren't doing these things on a regular basis. Last Sunday we decided it was time and since then things have been happening. It feels GREAT!!!! If I can get the video clip of "Family Scripture Time" uploaded you can see why I named the title "Why??"!
Zander is talking, Brody is making noise, Zach is trying to read, and Allissa is all over the place, playing
quietly, at least. At times I wonder why we attempt to do anything where all three of the kids have to sit quietly and pay attention. It is pretty much a joke trying to keep them
quiet on Sunday. Eventually we
will outgrow this stage and I am sure we will look back and miss it! Brody folded his arms for the first time tonight ( the way he does that is by me saying Brody fold your arms and what he does is lay his head down on the couch). We kneel around the couch. Any time I say, "Brody fold your arms" he goes and lays his head on the couch. It is too cute!
Not sure why Zach is yawning it is not even 7:00pm!

This is why I LOVE Zach so much! He is such and awesome
Pappi! After saying our prayer it was time to travel to bed. Zach offered a piggy ride to the kids and of course they were so excited.
Zander was so excited he forgot that he lost his chance to have an ice cream treat before bed and he did even put up a fight for it! By the time Zach got to their bedroom his knees where quite sore :0(
And they're off
It is now almost 8 and Zach is doing his MBA homework and I am going to go in the basement and work on some bow orders! What fun!!

Good for you, Darcy. Keep doing the important stuff! It'll pay off!
Way to go =) Seriously, that's hard stuff when it doesn't seem like they're listening or getting anything out of it. My sister's family does something that we do and it might help a little. We each just read one verse (plenty for little guys) and Ben reads Matt's verse and he repeats it, bit by bit ... "And it came to pass" "And it came to pass" "I, Nephi" "I, Nephi". At least he feels like he's reading too and helps him to pay attention at least for his part =) Good luck!!!
