"Watch Mom, I can Karate!!"

We all know Brett is Mr. Tough guy, but he has just learned that he can threaten his older sister (Anamarie) with his sweet karate moves, just to be tough. She believes that he is some overnight Karate Master, and he uses his "arm cross", then his "karate chop", with a "kick" and a keeee-aaaahh, to scare her away; thanks to Jaden Smith. Of course he's not hitting her, but he threatens her from a distance, which still gives him great gratification.

---> We're Gonna Catch a Leprechaun!!

After I picked up Anamarie from school today, she kept telling me how she wanted to make a leprechaun trap. So, with a little imagination, and lots of crafts, we made the perfect trap. Anamarie and I decided to get real gold dollars so that we would surely catch him. Anamarie made the glitter walkway, the green ladder, and the "FREE GOLD" sign, and I just helped her put it all together. The trick to the trap is once he steps on the top he will fall right in, but Anamarie wanted to make sure he landed on something soft, so she put lots of padding in the bottom of the box. So what's up with the long green polka dot ribbon, you ask?? Well, we're gonna make him work for his gold by climbing a 4 foot ribbon. She knows she's gonna catch him, so we will see what we find in the box tomorrow morning ;)

Brett Can Make His Bed!

It's fascinating how quickly Brett learns how to do something. I showed him how to make his bed, and the next morning he jumped out of bed and made it all my his little self, and then came to show me how smart he was.

Here he is sitting on his "made by Brett" bed saying "ta-daaa"

now he's saying "oh ya, I'm awesome!" I hear these words about 20 times a day. His confidence is amazing!!

I am thankful for Forgivness!~Maddy

I am so thankful that even If I make a horrible sin Heavenly Father will still forgive me!!! What would life be like If every time we did a sin and we wanted to forgive, but we couldn't. I would be in so much trouble at the judgment seat If Heavenly Father held me accountable for every little sin I have done! God promises us that every time we deeply forgive of our sins, He will forgive and COMPLETELY forget! I am so grateful for this wonderful gift, and I will never take it for granted.

I am thankful for Temples! ~Maddy

Temples are such an amazing thing, for me they are just more proof that god lives and protects us, and wants us to live back with him in Heaven! It says that Temples are a tiny-tiny glimpse of what Heaven will be like. Whenever I see a picture of the temple I feel so relieved and comforted, and at that very moment I feel no need to think about the world around me, I just think about my goal and where I am headed to. I love temples, through the temple I can baptise family members that never got the chance to when they lived on this earth,   that is a true gift, because I am doing exactly what God wants us to do; serve others!!! I know someday I will be able to go into all of the different parts of the temple and see the wonderful house of god, I cant wait!!!:)

I am thankful to be a Mormon!!! ~Maddy

I know this may seem pretty obvious, but i truly am thankful to be a Mormon! I am lucky enough to come into a family that supports, and teaches me everything I need to know about the church. Without the church I really don't know how I could live, In the hardest times in life It Is the most amazing feeling to know that someone has gone through so much pain and suffering, even more than we can imagine, it makes me feel good when I know that he knows what we are feeling, and that even if we are feeling lonely, God is ALWAYS there for us, and loves us no matter what!
