Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood:)

Today was great! I thought I would hate getting up early since church starts at 9 am now, but it wasn't that bad after all. Even though we woke up a little late, we still managed to get to church on time. My boys seemed to be more calm. When church used to be at 1, that was always around Zelands nap time so he would be fussy the whole day...Drey on the other hand, never takes naps. He is my little energizer bunny! Hyper 24-7! lol

 I need to be a bit more organized. My goal for every Saturday is to pick out our church clothes for the next day, pack the kids bags, make sure they have their church shoes & pack snacks and juice for Drey & Zee. I'll do it once in a while and it makes my Sundays so much easier, but other days when I don't, I'm not happy. lol I yell at Lance for not helping me, I get frustrated and sometimes, I'll not even want to go to church because I'm so burnt out from trying to get everything together. Today, everything went well, till we got to the chapel and I realized I left the kids bag at home. Good thing there were extra diapers in the car so I called Lance to stop by the store and get some bananas and juice for the boys. Zee wasn't too happy in sacrament. He kept looking in my bag since he knows thats where the food is so I took him out and we went into one of the rooms and played on the piano till daddy came. 

The spirit was so strong today in our YW class. I enjoyed listening to the testimonies that were given, especially from some of the inactive girls and loved the lesson that was taught on the true meaning of the YW theme by Sister Leavai. I am forever grateful to have this calling in the young women. I remember when I first got called to be the Secretary and how excited I was and happy that I had the "easy" job but I guess I spoke to soon...couple weeks later I got called to be the Beehive Advisor. Oh how I felt so overwhelmed and inadequate when I received it. Being the Advisor meant that I would teach every Sunday except for when they combine. I haven't taught a lesson to a class EVER and next week will be my first. I know I'm going to be nervous but the Lord knows my weaknesses and I know they will turn into my Strengths:) The Young Women program has been such a wonderful influence in my life and I am definitely a better woman for having this calling.

Anyway, I haven't done a recent update on the kids so here it is:

Zeland- 17 months

-He walks like a pro now!
