fun in temecula

Well we are now getting ready for school to begin. Kristianne has her 7th grade class schedule and both Noah and Jonah know who their teachers are. Noah has Mr. Bantle and Jonah has Mrs. Bentley. I think that this will be a wonderful year for each of them. I will post first day of school pictures hopefully. Just a little about myself this time. I'm getting braver when it comes to cooking. I made waffles from scratch for the kids one morning. Jonah has discovered biscuits and gravy. I got really brave and make homemade baking powder biscuits. They were really good. Now today I think I have gone crazy. I decided that today would be a good day to try and make cheesy scalloped potatoes for the first time. They smell so good. They look really good and I'm really excited to see what the family thinks of them. Another fun thing from today. About 8 this morning our power went out. I was in the shower and was very grateful that our bathroom has a window so that I could finish taking my shower. We went to church and I prayed that the power would be restored soon. As I was in Sacrament Meeting I felt that I should say a prayer and I did. Just a quiet one that all would be well when we came home and the power would be back on. I feel so blessed that the Lord heard my simple and silly prayer. The power was restored sometime while we were in church this morning. I have been thinking alot about how grateful that I feel toward my Savior for the blessings that he gives me. I have a husband that loves me and wants to make sure that we are all taken care of. I have a daughter that is growing up so well. She wants to be such a good girl and she is so good. Sometimes I wonder why I was blessed with her in my life and then we get laughing and I remember. I needed her to be my child as well as a friend. I know that her teenage years are still looming but I hope that she always knows that I'm here for her and that I love her. I have Noah. What a blessing he is. At times he makes me so crazy. I want to scream but then I remember that he does have some of the traits in me that drive me crazy. I have Jonah. He is a dreamer. I would love sometimes for him to stay on the ground and stay focused but he won't right now. I am glad that someone still finds their dreams so amazing. I only pray that as we grow together as a family we will be understanding of each others individuality. It makes me crazy sometimes but it is just the way of being human. Thanks for listening to my rantings.
