A Morales Minute

I know that I have a lot to catch up on but tonight as I'm heading to bed I was thinking about today. I felt the spirit so much and I love how I feel. Saturday I watched the RS general conference meeting. I loved how the 2nd counselor of the RS talked about a mother who didn't feel she got much out of sacrament meeting. (I could definitely relate!) so this mother decided to think about her week and what she needed to repent of on Saturday so that she already knew what she needed to repent of during the sacrament on Sunday. I thought that was a smart idea so I tried it. It made today's sacrament meeting a bit easier for me. We had testimony meeting today and I heard some great ones that touched me. Yes I still had my disturbances dealing with kids but I actually felt the spirit and even better...I got the confirming answer of something I had been praying about all week. I wondered if it was just my thought or an answer from my Father in Heaven for real. But then I realized t...

I'm doing a Preschool co-op of eight kids with six other moms. Tyler is the age as many of the other kids but I decided to only put Aidan in. Tyler needs a bit more free-range time I think. Sunday school is all he can really handle with being told to sit still. He does miss having Aidan to play with, however. Now on the other hand, Aidan is definitely ready! So every Tuesday and Thursday for a couple hours he's in "school." Aidan was ecstatic to go to preschool.  Practicing name writing.  Aidan is the one on the corner (in the right of the picture) with the yellow marker, concentrating so hard. What a good student he is. Snack Time! The Class Liam, Aidan, Derek, Henry, Avery, Eva, John, Noah He LOVED his first day. He's happy to get dressed and ready for school in the morning like the girls. I never have to tell him twice to get ready. Next year he will be in Kindergarten and the year after goes Tyler to Kindergarten. I'll be a...

Aidan's 5th Birthday Party was celebrated on Saturday August 31, 2013 It was a simple gathering with Grandma and Grandpa Morales and Aunt Bel...and Kevin. Aunt Bel brought Kevin, the giant Minion from the movie Despicable Me. Aidan loves ice cream more than cake and he likes s'mores so we got him a Dairy Queen S'mores blizzard cake.  Presents! He's been asking for Captain Hook's ship the Jolly Roger. I love the way he says Jolly Roger. :) Knights to go with his Imaginext castle. He was so excited. Angry Birds Star Wars game! It's one he gets too. So fun. New Hot Wheels. Tyler enjoyed it as well! The girls enjoy the new toys too. No one was sure they wanted to beat the minion with a stick to get the candy and prizes out. So Grandpa to the rescue for Kevin! He dumped the candy out instead. It's almost as fun as beating a Piñata right?! The plan is to use it for Olivia's birthday party. Th...
