What do you want to do now?

So the other day I asked Sarah the above question: "What do you want to do now?" Her answer: "Help Mom with dishes!" Then she ran up the stairs and over to the dishwasher. It was a good thing I had dishes to do! Sarah is becoming such a good helper and she is starting to say really funny things. My parents visited briefly this weekend and when we told Sarah that Grammi and Poppy were coming her response was: "Poppy say go ride Peter Pan Ride, lots of fun! Where Poppy!?!" Anyway, things are going good here, I just closed my first Home Gathering and was totally surprised that it ended as well as it did, because we didn't have as big a show up as I would have liked, due to funerals during the party time, but it ended really well and I made almost $100 and my cousin signed up! So all in all it was a good party and I am really loving being a consultant! If anybody is thinking that they may want to be a consultant October is the month to do it because Close to My Heart is offering over $100 of FREE stuff. It really is amazing! Anyway, hope everyone has a great day!

How did you get so cute?

So Sunday as we were driving to a friends house to visit, Creed asked Sarah the following question: How did you get so cute?" Sarah replies, "Hair Pretties!" It just made us laugh really hard. She is just so cute! Last night we had family home evening and right now we are just following the new Nursery manual and last night's lesson was titled Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Love Me. I asked Sarah, "Who loves Sarah?" Her answer, "Jesus loves Sarah!" I was amazed that she already knew, though I probably shouldn't be. Sarah is just growing so much and we love her tons. She loves to sing and knows most of the words to Do As I'm Doing, If your Happy and You Know it, Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam, I am a Child of God and a few others. She hums, and in sacrament meeting we sang I Stand All Amazed as the sacrament hymn and then all during the sacrament she hummed the melody. I think she has her great grandmother's talent, Creed's Grandma Ewan was a professional Opera singer and even toured with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

We are all doing good. Chad has moved in with us and is such a joy. I am really loving getting to know him and helping him get to know himself. He is also a huge help. Creed is doing well, though we are trying to figure out what the Lord has planned for us. Last week Creed came home and said that they company had layed off another 45 people, so in the last 2 months they have layed off 70 people, that is almost 2/3rds of the company and that we were taking a pay cut. So now we just have to figure out if the Lord wants us here, or somewhere else. There aren't really any other jobs out here that we could switch to, so we are looking around and praying that all goes according to the Lord's plan.

I had my first Home Gathering this last weekend. My aunt and cousin hosted one in Tremonton/Garland and it went pretty well. It turned into an open house because of two funerals and a snow storm, but we still had 13 people show up and in the end my aunt and cousin are going to get about $60 worth of free stuff, which is pretty exciting for them! It also means that I will make almost $85. I love my new job!

Funny and tender

Sarah says some funny things lately and I really want to scrapbook them, so I am writing them and sharing them with all of you. On Friday we went swimming (we have access to an indoor pool) while getting ready Sarah said the following:

Sarah: Binne Pooh on diaper

Creed: That is right, Winnie the Pooh is on your swimming diaper.

Sarah: I know, it's GREAT!

Apparently she really likes Winnie the Pooh on her diaper!

The other day I was watching Ryan and he was putting rocks in his pocket and this is what Sarah said to me:

Sarah: Pocket?

Me: You don't have a pocket, so you will just have to carry your rocks.

Sarah looks at Ryan and then the rocks in her hand, "Mom, Need pocket."

Me: Sorry, you don't have a pocket.

Sarah: NEED POCKET! Mommy, I Need a POCKET!

Didn't know that not having a pocket would be so dramatic and devastating! Sarah is also very tender hearted and she LOVES babies. Last night she watched the end of the Incredibles and cried and screamed when the baby received his powers. She kept saying, "Baby okay, daddy, Baby Okay?" Creed said that in order to get her to stop crying about the baby he had to have her watch the short that goes with the movie, the Boundin one. Anyway, she woke up this morning and promptly told me that "Mommy baby okay, daddy say baby okay." I just love her little spirit!
