Enchanted...

We went to Enchanted for our Thanksgiving movie. I loved it, the boys barely tolerated it and Mike demoted me from picking the movie next year. It is definitely a chick flick, a lot of fun with a lot from Disney Princess movies in it. A Disney Princess lands in New York City and has fun adventures. The first part is animated (Mike was worried the whole movie was animated)but switches to live action. (Not my boy’s definition of live action). I will definitely buy the DVD and watch it by myself...maybe Katie will humor me.

Family Girls Party

We had a Girl Party in St. George with my mom, sisters, nieces and a few babies.

We shopped
We made treats
We made Crafts
We chatted and we did a lot of Laughing!

All my sisters have the same loud laugh.

My mother was glad both neighbors were out of town!

Katie

Katie has been published, we are quite proud, go to the New Era, November issue, Page 16 

 

“Church leaders are always giving us rules to follow. Isn’t it taking away our agency when they tell us what to do all the time?”

 

Rules are set in place ultimately by our Heavenly Father through our Church leaders. They are intended to protect us and give us more agency. For example, the Word of Wisdom protects us from becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol. The commandments help us maintain our agency that Satan is trying so hard to take away.
