King Limhi's Grape Escape Drink


The boys loved it! It's made with 1 1/2 cups ice cream. 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup Ginger Ale 6 oz grape juice. Blend well . Read with Mosiah chapters 21 & 22. Poor Dan got bored with waiting for his turn. Then we watched Black Beard from when mom was a kid.

FHE



Funtimes! Playing games for family home evening. The boys finally played with their Art Explosion Kit. Oh the beautiful picts they made.

Best Friends



Eddie Ray and his bestest friend in the whole world. Yeah I'm jealous!

Family Council

So we all weighed in on some heavy issues. The boys can't seem to decide if they like daycare in home. It's back and forth. Well we made progress last night Ricky finally stated why he did not want us to be foster/ adopt parents anymore. And why he pulls so many stunts. Ricky thinks he will be replaced. And they all agreed if I closed the daycare for a while they would be happy. So I told them I would pray about it and sleep on it. This morning I awoke with the strongest feeling I should give up the daycare. The sad thing it's the job I love the most. So I ponder awhile longer looked in the scriptures and reread the part of how things will work out if we are doing things for the kingdom of God and not for the love of money. Those 3 boys make me happier tan I have ever been. Stressed at times, yes definitely. But happier overall. So I got up this morning and wrote my closing note. I believe Ricky had the biggest smile I had seen in forever. So less funds are a concern. We will have to trim things back more. But I feel confident we are on the right track. So last night my heart broke, and this morning it filled with sunshine. But in August we will review where we are as to whether we will reopen again. But for now I look foward to ending the school year with the boys and heading into summer. I feel so blessed to have the gospel in my life. And to continue to move foward. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt the Family Home Evenings, Scripture Study,& Family council has moved us foward to this point. And if any of you out there are considering foster/adopt I highly reccomend it. Just hold onto your hats it can be bumpy ride. But definately worth it.
