A Morales Minute

Her Favorite breakfast…french toast! Lindsey asked for a Ripstick. I was nervous for her to ride one. They're pretty tricky! But it didn't take her long at all to get the hang of riding it. Now she zips around like nothing.  Lindsey wanted to hike Badger Mountain with me. It was a cool, misty, drizzly morning but that didn't stop her from getting up early and walking.  Lindsey LOVES to climb trees. Reminds me of myself. I liked climbing up high and looking around. Every time we go to my mom's Lindsey is up a tree…literally. :) Sometimes I think she's too young to be able to be climbing so high but when I think of what I was doing at her age…I knows she fine and can handle climbing a tree. It's just hard to see she's getting more independent and able to do more on her own without my help. She's growing so fast! Next year she will be going in to the Young Women program at church. Wow…doesn't seem like that lo

Since I was in Spokane I wouldn't be home to take the girls to the BYU Theater Ballet that same Saturday. Lindsey had asked me if we could go and I thought it'd be fun to go to lunch and the ballet together just me and my sweet girls. Then I realized that it was the weekend of TOFW so I asked Bel if she could take the girls for me and I'd buy the tickets for all of them. She was more than happy to and Lindsey and Olivia are always happy to spend some time with their Aunt.  Not only did Bel come over that Saturday afternoon but Jaime's parents and brother did as well. Diana cooked up some Spanish rice and yummy tacos for everyone to eat. (When I got home later that night my house still smelled like delicious tacos. They even saved me two!) Bel helped the girls get dressed up. The theme was "Fairy Tales and Fantasy" and kids were encouraged to dress up. My girls wanted to dress as princesses and took their matching stuffed princess dolls with them. Lindsey

I was lucky and so very grateful to be able to attend Time Out for Women in Spokane this year. The theme was "Living Proof." Living proof of God's love and plan for us. As always, the speakers are wonderful and inspiring and the music is beautiful and touching. It was in a different venue so I wasn't too pleased to have rows and rows of chairs instead of theater seating because someone is always taller than me and sits in front of me making it difficult to see. But really all that mattered was that I could hear what was being said. There were so many wonderful lessons and stories that touched my heart. Me, Jodi, Sarah, Celia I had asked my mom to go but she didn't think she'd be able to so I went with a group of friends. Later mom asked if I wanted to go. Since plans were already made and hotel booked with my friends I was sorry to tell Mom that I wouldn't be going with her but it was great that I could still be with Mom and Elizabeth at the con
