One of our favorite places to go when we are in Calgary is to Sundance Lake. It keeps all ages of children happy and having fun playing in the sun! I always got a cheer from my kids when I would say we were going to the lake. We are so grateful that Martha and Graham's family share this wonderful activity with us. It is always fun to race to the rope, make sand water tunnels, play with the kids, and chat. We had so many memorable days there!

Today, from the moment they woke up, my kids were fighting. As we were eating breakfast, instead of reading the scriptures like I normally do, I was quietly sitting. Ethan noticed the absence of my reading, then makes a request. "May I be excused from the table for a minute, please?" "Why, I asked?" With a trembling frown on his face, he quietly replies, "Because, I need to go repent." He then goes over and kneels at the couch. When he returned to the table, I asked him what he said. He tells me "I asked Heavenly Father to forgive me for all the mistakes I have made today." That little boy just melted my heart.

For family home evening last week, we had a lesson on service, then challenged our children to do three secret service acts for members of our family. We then met together again to discuss the things they had done, and how it made them feel. When it came to Ethan, he furrowed his brow, and was digging deep to remember what he had done. All of a sudden his face lit up, and he exclaims: "I know!" The other day, Abigail had to leave from playing her game on the play station, and I finished it for her!" We all got a good laugh out of that one, including Ethan.

At supper, we were playing our new game of asking and answering various questions, to create interesting conversation. One of the questions was, if you had one million dollars, what would you buy? We all had fun dreaming of all the fun things we would aquire. When it came to Claire's turn, I asked her, "Claire, if you had lots and lots of money, and could buy whatever you wanted, what would you get?" She thinks for a moment, then with enthusiastic, bright eyes, exclaims "Lucky Charms!"

One day Claire excitedly exclaims - "Mom, I can feel my heart beeping!"

Claire was playing with a baby doll named Sarah one day. I asked her - "Claire, is Sarah a good baby?" She enthusiastically responds,"Yes, because she eats ALL of her vegetables!"

While driving one day, out of the blue, Abigail states - "I just love kissing!" "Pardon me?", I ask, shocked. "Well you know, like when people kiss in movies, or moms and dads kiss, and people say eww, well, it's not gross to me, I like it."
