Now and then verses of scripture were read amid outbursts such as “He’s touching me!” “Make him stop looking at me!” “Mom, he’s breathing my air!” Sincere prayers occasionally were interrupted with giggling and poking. And with active, rambunctious boys, family home evening lessons did not always produce high levels of edification. At times Sister Bednar and I were exasperated because the righteous habits we worked so hard to foster did not seem to yield immediately the spiritual results we wanted and expected.<br />....Sister Bednar and I thought helping our sons understand the content of a particular lesson or a specific scripture was the ultimate outcome. But such a result does not occur each time we study or pray or learn together. The consistency of our intent and work was perhaps the greatest lesson—a lesson we did not fully appreciate at the time.<br />....Each family prayer, each episode of family scripture study, and each family home evening is a brushstroke on the canvas of our souls. No one event may appear to be very impressive or memorable. But just as the yellow and gold and brown strokes of paint complement each other and produce an impressive masterpiece, so our consistency in doing seemingly small things can lead to significant spiritual results. “Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great” (<a href="http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/64/33#33" target="_blank" class="featureslink">D&C 64:33</a>). Consistency is a key principle as we lay the foundation of a great work in our individual lives and as we become more diligent and concerned in our own homes.<br /></blockquote>i love elder bednar, too! and i also want to remember that sometimes you can see productivity like on mondays and it looks great. but a lot of times you can't see it <span style="font-style: italic;">and it's still there</span>. that's really important and i must remember that especially!LollyGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12217711209290390925noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422526.post-91733660227977239672009-09-22T21:20:00.000-07:002009-09-22T22:50:58.494-07:00<div style="text-align: center;">our coastal cowboy.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-EkTX-vBsRDhqpgTl0WOdCG1dzrn-G6M3owEm1WdrcHS6tre-M9VgT0Lb5FQSTMAR8hCQD6hBpuimfvd_rPFNje0jdH3MZpKB1aGNviEyNC9PuIdf-b1oEhP2H7gJwjGbBcs_jw/s1600-h/DSC_2083.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-EkTX-vBsRDhqpgTl0WOdCG1dzrn-G6M3owEm1WdrcHS6tre-M9VgT0Lb5FQSTMAR8hCQD6hBpuimfvd_rPFNje0jdH3MZpKB1aGNviEyNC9PuIdf-b1oEhP2H7gJwjGbBcs_jw/s320/DSC_2083.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384516357526748082" border="0" /></a>in memory of the curls:<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKymccFnDGNgfFjOIxQ3BxkAn76PYXqis5xqocjgKg-NmTxpgB9fobJ52DwmRSm8p4KWucepL1XLO0RKwx0rh7ACQjqcSwn9a9U_LjH5sCqnRq7mdqqcfI3ZFP5mYTlrwHiZcTKg/s1600-h/DSC_1831.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKymccFnDGNgfFjOIxQ3BxkAn76PYXqis5xqocjgKg-NmTxpgB9fobJ52DwmRSm8p4KWucepL1XLO0RKwx0rh7ACQjqcSwn9a9U_LjH5sCqnRq7mdqqcfI3ZFP5mYTlrwHiZcTKg/s320/DSC_1831.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384516346707087282" border="0" /></a>these pics arrived in my inbox today and made me so happy. they reminded me of our fabulous trip to nebraska (where they were taken). the boots you see above were found a the local thriftstore for $4 along w/ a matching pair for asher for the same price. <br /><br />we stayed at <a href="http://www.nebraskahistory.org/sites/fortrob/sites.htm">ft. robinson, </a>(see link) an old military fort with a lot of history. it was beautiful and there were so many fun things to do. we took a hayride up to the buttes for a chuck wagon breakfast where the boys mountain climbed to their hearts content, we went horseback riding, and watched a rodeo where afterward the boys were invited to lie down on cowhide while holding on to a rope for dear life as they were drug behind a horse around the arena!

This salad was also great the next day, though you may want to add the avocado closer to serving in order to keep it from browning.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">we served it as a meal w/ pineapple chunks, cantaloupe and rolls!</span>LollyGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12217711209290390925noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422526.post-34907880356623973762009-07-15T18:01:00.000-07:002009-07-15T18:07:57.166-07:00is there something seriously wrong with me?we just got back yesterday evening from an AWESOME trip covering colorado, wyoming, nebraska and south dakota (more details later) and i'm already planning our next one. here is our agenda for any of you sac/davis folk who might be interested:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Monday</span><br />1:00: Jelly Belly Factory<br />3:30 ish: Play at Community park in Davis<br /> Nugget Sandwiches for dinner!!!

ashlyn (14) was supposed to meet up w/ some friends but chose to stay w/ the family to hang out w/ her cousins--so sweet!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">so there's a quick recap on this familyofperpetualmotion. we'll be home a few days afer this trip before heading up to davis for some more summer fun. the jelly belly factory, sac zoo, rec pool, arboretum, farmers market, solano park and fun friends are all on the agenda!</span>LollyGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12217711209290390925noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422526.post-12947087997242979472009-06-09T22:57:00.001-07:002009-06-09T22:58:06.530-07:00they're engaged<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPo1Kh9u8r5y2yzeruLphuO77PIZ8QL9jdTN070hX8jCTTXUxloJgG2tCwd87KwT7K_aGkRl41pRAOY1Bh6dTfOZc6miRqktpn-ugZfhXy57u9gVj7_jUkQWXfeLHOUidgnuG60g/s1600-h/myronymae.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPo1Kh9u8r5y2yzeruLphuO77PIZ8QL9jdTN070hX8jCTTXUxloJgG2tCwd87KwT7K_aGkRl41pRAOY1Bh6dTfOZc6miRqktpn-ugZfhXy57u9gVj7_jUkQWXfeLHOUidgnuG60g/s320/myronymae.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345574173315426146" border="0" /></a>LollyGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12217711209290390925noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422526.post-26333095293365267762009-05-24T22:15:00.000-07:002009-05-25T00:02:45.196-07:00he's 31 today<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">i had great intentions today to celebrate this fabulous man of mine. and i bought all (almost) the stuff we'd need for a birthday fit for a king. but here's how it actually went down.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7:30 </span> i wake up and get ready for my 8am meeting, leave the house w/ everyone still in bed<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10:15 </span> return from meeting to find an empty house, homemade waffles w/ fresh fruit and not a trace of breakfast mess<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10:25</span> boys return from playing at the park<br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyjAVh4mRRV-rTu_qfbogbzcDsEvBZseHewKUweOx2k9_OxnrPge84iQWpbegFpkko8rnH64UUeCCPlcUo0g8npoIS1XMahpq9JLKo1-YgJZ9bZipK-nyDe6A-H4nv_sHyHfLA0Q/s1600-h/048.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyjAVh4mRRV-rTu_qfbogbzcDsEvBZseHewKUweOx2k9_OxnrPge84iQWpbegFpkko8rnH64UUeCCPlcUo0g8npoIS1XMahpq9JLKo1-YgJZ9bZipK-nyDe6A-H4nv_sHyHfLA0Q/s320/048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339626634893100226" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">10:30</span> put asher down for his nap and then visit with our very diligent and dedicated home teacher<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">11:15 </span>wonder why the baby is still not asleep and just jabbering away, go in and sing some more songs<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">11:25</span> take a phone call and talk church business<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">11:45</span> head into kitchen to find the birthday boy happily adding the last ingredients to the thai chicken crock pot dinner. i got to put the lid on and start fixing lunch for the boys while he goes in and finally gets that baby to sleep<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">12:00 </span> i finish getting ready for church while micah assembles his own chicken wrap (yummm)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">12:45</span> i'm off to church w/ the big boys, micah hangs out for the next two hours while asher gets his nap in (i know we're bad mormons but honestly--why take an unnapped baby to 1pm church until 4 o'clock?)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4:30</span> return home to find a beautiful chocolate cake already baked and frosted.
