Interesting application

For Family Home Evening on Monday, we talked about faith. I explained to the kids that faith is hoping for and believing in things that you can't see, but that are real and true. (see Alma 32:21) Then I asked the kids if they had any examples of people who have shown great faith or ways they show faith themselves. Eli immediately raised his hand. Here's what his example was, "I have faith because I believe that there are lots of other kinds of Lego sets that I've never seen, but I know they're real."

Isn't this the cutest picture of Leah sleeping?

What's that? You don't see her? Oh, that's right. That's because she's sleeping behind the couch, not on it.

Time to put away the big guns

Summer's over. The pools are closed. It's time to trade in swimming suits for school clothes. That means it's also time for these hot bods to be covered up for the winter. Sorry ladies. You missed your chance to check out these big guns. But don't worry. May will be here before you know it.

I stole this picture from my sis-in-law's blog. It's so cute. I couldn't resist. Good job, Sarah!

Red Ninjas.....ATTACK!

The new soccer season has begun! Eli is number 9 on the Red Ninjas this year. He had his first game last Saturday. It went.....well, it went. The boys stayed really positive throughout the entire game and kept trying their best! That's the whole point of kiddie soccer, right? The score was something like 15-1. We lost count after a while. We did get one point......which was actually kicked in my a member of the other team, but we cheered anyway.

Eli had a great time! He loves the sport and it's great exercise. He has improved since last year. Hopefully as a team, they will learn to work together and improve. Perhaps they will achieve total victory at the game next week!
