Presidents Day


My kiddo's are out of school today because it is Presidents day. I found a cute website (www.mistergworld.com) to get fun facts about all the Presidents. I went over them with Aubree and Luke. Aubree thought it was really funny that Rutherford B. Hayes our 19th Pres. of the USA was the first Pres. to use a phone and that his phone number was 1. Luke was thrilled to hear Andrew Jackson was the First Pres. to ride a train. I am sure most of what we talked about will not sink in but I thought it would be fun to go over it. I find it funny those little moments (like teaching my kids some fun facts) I feel a strong confirmation from that Lord that this is where I am supposed to be. I have never regretted being a stay at home Mom. I love it. I love that I can be there for everything. As I grow older and see my children grow and think of my future children and think of my relationship with my best friend (Jamie) I feel so thankful to know there is direction in my life. Yesterday our awesome new Young Woman’s Pres. Kim gave a lesson and I know it was for the girls but it really touched me. She talked a lot about prayer and blessings and listening to the answers to your prayers. At times when I pray I do not get the answer right away and then later I will feel the love from my Heavenly Father and the answer is clear. I am thankful for that. Okay now I am started to get some tears flowing so I better stop. I hope all you Mom's are having a great time with your kiddo's today!
