Fun Things

I like to post some of the things we have been doing in Activity Days. It has been alot of fun getting activities together for the girls and we have such an awesome class! We have been talking alot about Geneology and journaling so I got an idea online to make notebook purses that the girls could use as their journals. I think they turned out Adorable!

Also for a valentines activity, We decided to make these super cute paper-made flowers with suckers in the center of them and a cute paper vase to hold the flower. We gave one to the widows, single moms and just ladies who we felt might be having a hard time in our ward. We also made some for our bishop and his counselors to just let them know of our appreiciation for them and all they do for our ward! This turned out to be such a great activity! The girls LOVED going to each house and seeing the bright happy faces of the ladies (and men) they gave them too. They told me it made them feel so happy inside to see that they have made someones day!

My Beautiful Wife - (Kev's input on our blog)

I can't imagine my life without my beautiful wife, son and daughter! Erika is a loving, patient, and exceptional wife. she is a kind and wise mother! I am so blessed to have her! we held hands for the first time as we walked around bountiful park! she faked a neck pain while laying on my lap and kissed me for the first time! I worried for it seemed like forever about that kiss, I worried that I wasn't very good at it! she thought I was cute though and it worked out to my advantage! Erika and I had known each other for quite some time. She would come and do things with my friends and I. We were at the bountiful park for a young single adult activity and we were playing a game that included quite a bit of running and a heavier girl went down and was haveing trouble breathing. so I went and helped her. to make a long story short I think the girl was faking it cause when I mentioned ambulance all of her simptoms seemed to go away! Erike thought it was cute of me to hold her hand and tell her everything was going to be alright! I think I blew that a little later though when I threw a cooler full of ice water on her during a water fight! I knew she was meant for me after she made it past two weeks of me! She is wonderful! she makes me laugh and I am so happy to see her when I come home! Erika has so many qualities, she is patient, loving, tender, faithful, family oriented, always striving to do better, I cannot say enough about her! I hope she always knows of my love for her, my devotion to her, and my cherishing of her!
