"Parents must bring light and truth into their homes by one family prayer, one scripture study session, one family home evening, one book read aloud, one song, and one family meal at a time. They know that the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily parenting is among the most powerful and sustaining forces for good in the world. The health of any society, the happiness of its people, their prosperity, and their peace all find common roots in the teaching of children in the home." - Elder L. Tom Perry

Fun Times at Grandma's

The kids have been really enjoying the summer... especially Isa since she gets to go to Nana's house instead of school :) They have been playing and playing. School doesn't start until Sept. 6th for Isa so she still gets about another month to live it up. She is excited to start school though- she definitely enjoys learning and being with kids other than Hyrum every. single. day. Last Saturday James took Hyrum at 6:30 in the morning to go pick up our bountiful basket and then they headed to Home Depot for a few things. When they got back I took the kids out to my mom's to store some things in her freezer and Hyrum REFUSED to leave with me when it was time to go home. He figured out that Grandpa was working on the farm and so he wanted to work with him. My parents said we could leave him so we did! They baled hay, hauled hay bales, and fixed pivots. It was the greatest day of Hyrum's life. Isabelle said it was the greatest day ever because Hyrum was gone all day. HAHA! I thought it was hilarious that she was sick of being with Hyrum all the time...especially because come dinner time she was so concerned about her brother not being home for dinner and she said she really missed him :)
