The Race

Wade played around a bit and made this video into an epic film.  Pop some popcorn! 

(bah! I can't get this video to upload!! Coming soon!)

Our home teachers from church challenged us last visit to think of some things we can incorporate into our Sunday's that are meaningful for us personally and as a family.  Other than attending church meetings we do do things to try to honor the sabbath but this was a good reminder that especially with having children to be sure that we are establishing "traditions" that we can do that they will look back on and remember.  This is a little example I know a family who pops popcorn on sundays and I'll bet they palyed games or spent time together while they ate it.  My parents allowed us on sunday's to have box cereals verses the other days of the week we had warm breakfasts, oatmeal, eggs n toast, baked apples, how is it possible that the box sugar cereal was a treat : )
So after thinking about their challenge a few things came to mind:  I need to improve on keeping in touch with my extended family aswell.  Sunday's I am going to utilize as an oportnuity to phone or email or even facebook (at least!) a message to Aunts, Uncles or cousins.  Even if I did that once a month that would be an improvment!  I am ever so thankful for my wonderful family. 
     All of our pictures and videos: Wade was pretty keen about making the video above...so maybe that is something he can do for our family "history"  - edit one video a week - that would be fun! I could do better at this too.  I think between the two of us we ought to be mindful of this and I don't think that the Grandma's would be opposed to seeing more videos on here, eh!
One more thing Wade and I talked about was involving Kent in more service.   He has been grasping the idea of giving to others as he helps put baked goods on plates and wrapping them up to take to someone else.  We will do this more regularly.  He is at a good age for this and loves to be in the kitchen with me (he is not bad at cracking those eggs...it's coming)
