Remodeling?

So today ALL day we worked on the new bathroom and hallway. One of my favorite things to do with my family is to work on the house. Mostly because they are to busy to realize what jobs I put myself in charge of.... like for example, painting the door red. We covered the computer room in plastic on all sides because we we texturing parts of it. Well I happened to be the bomb masker so I did it, but the air was on so the plastic all blew inwards, and I was still in the middle. Can you say static? Anyways it was really long day, and we got SO much done! Fun. Fun.

A Day In My World

Here are some random things that go on every day:

Bobby making fun of us at lunch

Pamella destroying my room

Me eating soup out of the can, because I am just that lazy

Ben looking quite funny

Meigen being a "meow mix"er

Taylor and me thinking Gabe's art is amazing

Chloe Monster

She is the cutest girl in the world. Sophie happens to be catching up, but currently she is the loudest of the two and demands a little more attention. I can count on three things when Chloe comes over: 1. We will dance 2.We will read all the books we BOTH have memorized 3.And we will play with Simba.

Oh Brother!

So Rocky is always doing something that raises lots of questions, but rarely do few get answered. I came home one day and Rocky was chilling on the couch with his newly tuned guitar(thanks Michael).

In early April right before his surgery he decided he wanted to go swimming. I am sure it was only at like the low 60's, so Rocky threw on his wet suit.

When someone in our house is sick, we always get the famous bell from our Grandparents house. But that wasn't enough for Rocky during his bed rest from his surgery. He found the megaphone and used that when he wanted water or fruit snacks ect. The only problem was that when we didn't respond fast enough he turned on the siren. Let me tell you, thats scary the first 2 times, funny the 3rd time, and down right annoying all the other times. I took a nap one day and Rocky left the siren on until I woke up and came in to change movies for him. Can you say "Princess"?

My favorite though is a few nights ago it was around 12am and Rocky walks in my room with the "I just did something dumb and I need help smile/laugh". So he apparently handcuffed himself and tried for a long time to get it undone by himself. Wow the kid cracks me up:)

SURPRISE

Alyssa's 18th birthday was today and she had a surprise party after school. It was soo hard to remember not to say anything to her. I kept wanting to ask her what she was doing on our half day. But luckly I didn't slip. Me and Taylor tagged her car before school got out and wrote "Honk its my birthday" all over it, so hopefully people wll be honking for a while:D. But unfortunately, we were 30 seconds late in arriving, so me and Taylor walked in right after everyone yelled "SURPRISE". They were alittle early in arriving. But it was lots of fun. Her grandpa played Happy Birthday on guitar, which was super cool. Alyssa is so cute, and really surprised.

The Family: A Proclamation to the World

We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.

All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.

The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.

We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God’s eternal plan.

Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.

We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.

We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.

This proclamation was read by President Gordon B. Hinckley as part of his message at the General Relief Society Meeting held September 23, 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
