It is hard to believe, but my little chubby blond cherub is all grown up and doing amazing things with his life. He is a man - and a fine one. Intentional parenting can be demanding and exhausting, but I am putting in writing, "It is so worth it!!!" I have loved this child more than he ever wanted haha and more than he ever knew he needed. Now I love him even more. Every night I wrap my arms around him in the biggest warmest hug I am capable of, and I ask Heavenly Father to carry it to him. In his life, I tried to teach him that he could do anything but especially that he could do hard things. As adulthood has slowly descended upon him, he has had to do some hard things, but he is prepared. He is tender but strong, honest but kind, sensitive but resilient. Ok to be honest he is not perfect. At one point in my quest to be an amazing parent, I thought he should be perfect. Thankfully, a wise seasoned neighbor mentioned casually to me while I was complaining about something he was or wasn't doing, "You don't want him to have to be your perfect." It was as if she was shouting it at me, and I completely understood. I hope it wasn't too late. Because I realized that my job was not to change who he was but rather to smooth out his edges. He has been smoothed and I see will continue to have his edges smoothed out by his adventure called life. Oh how I love him, appreciate him, and desire for his happiness. We celebrate his choice to serve the Lord instead of mourning his absence. This does not mean that we don't miss him to no end. We love you Davin. </div>

Davin has been called to serve in the Puebla North mission in Mexico. He will report on April 17th. I still remember him singing I hope they call me on a mission at my Aunt Marilyn's first mission farewell when he was so little and thinking wow I have a long time to teach and prepare him. Well, my time is really almost up especially because it is not the sort of thing you can cram for! We love you Davin and believe you will make a big difference in many people's lives including your own.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Ok I know it has been a while but I wanted to get started again. My ideas for helping run a family have to be simple and easy because I don't have time for elaborate and I don't want to do something I won't stick with. The job jar has been around for years and is used if I have been as patient as I can and don't want a big problem I just give the kids a warning that next time it is the job jar. It has some things in it to make them think about others, some to lighten the mood, and some serious work too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The folders are a huge life-saver for me. Each child has a folder with a individual folders inside for their main activities. I quickly and immediately sort through all papers shoved under my nose and dump most and file the others. Brad and kids also puts things in there-so simple!</span></div>

No more high school basketball unless Brody or Kellen decide to play, but he has committed to UC Riverside after a year long process of meeting and talking to universities. He had several opportunities, but this one met his goals the best. They are division 1, strong academics, church institute program on campus, and they will be paying his tuition, books, room, and food. We are happy we will be seeing a lot of his games because his conference has so many so cal schools in it. <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN1A0VH4kCMK0i_VXFbPkBpQcgMJf61JoIu80GPTNkBUYUQAqckqAlqnJdRojpdmzAsMTNpGucaZ3RWnTJsV5AU0KiGjiG0kl8KmhIUm9WYjdgZaRDFYz7V7kiUhWtNSU1dSPuzybo7po/s1600/DSC09011.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728699247948027090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN1A0VH4kCMK0i_VXFbPkBpQcgMJf61JoIu80GPTNkBUYUQAqckqAlqnJdRojpdmzAsMTNpGucaZ3RWnTJsV5AU0KiGjiG0kl8KmhIUm9WYjdgZaRDFYz7V7kiUhWtNSU1dSPuzybo7po/s320/DSC09011.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Haley, Brad, and the ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942403520346622224noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7625778136138569944.post-43945931612872650522012-03-13T14:17:00.004-07:002012-03-13T15:13:54.812-07:00<div align="center">The update is way past due I know - this life is a ride though and it is going so fast I can't always do the things I want to! I can't even scratch the surface a lot of the time. Twice now when I have been bustling around brow <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">furrowed</span> Kellen has stopped me in my tracks by saying, "you happy Mom?" I stopped taken of guard and thought why is my 2 year old asking me this? Then I told him both times, "yes I am happy I am just busy." To which he said, "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">ok</span> you happy." This second line in the form of a statement. I am really happy and think it is sweet and a little odd that my 2 year old is the one making me have this introspective moment.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">This last month has been crazy with varsity soccer and varsity basketball the same season, Josie's club soccer team, Emmie's dance and Brody's t-ball plus all the school and church and family stuff sprinkled in. Now we have Perry's club soccer and track to add in. Perry and Davin both made all-league. Davin all valley and all <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">CIF</span> too. It was so fun to watch these kids play! Davin unfortunately crashed his car on a rainy day driving through the Sam's club parking lot. Brad spent lots of days out of town, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">of coarse</span> was gone for the crash and for the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">bball</span> banquet I had to help put on for 100 people. I told you it is a ride :) I don't want to forget the beginning of potty training, a couple of colds, perry learning to drive with her permit, Josie's band stuff, and great friends that came to visit. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">I have to tell the Brody and baseball story. When we found out we were expecting a boy with Brody, first thing I said to Brad during the ultra sound actually was he is not playing baseball. I just didn't think I could do it again. It is fun and cute when they are little, but when they get older there is batting practice, pitching practice, regular practice, and games that last 2 hrs and 20 min - not to mention the stress on the mother when there is so much pressure on her child!!!<br />Brad being the constant <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">negotiator</span> says to me how about only if he is left handed?! I am laying there thinking there are slim to no chances this baby will be a lefty because we have 4 right handed children and we are both right handed, so I say O.K.! By the time Brody was 6 months old you could tell he was going to be a lefty!!!! Brad <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">of coarse</span> has held me to this little deal as you can see from the pictures below.

The pace required to get the parenting job done right is killing me, but I sure enjoy seeing these kids get to do what they love and do it well! We had so much fun at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Davin's</span> last game. We made posters and painted our faces and the gym was packed as they battled their cross town rival and won!!! Davin's girlfriend, Shayna was there sitting on the other side with her school, and every time Davin took a shot their fans would loudly chant Shayna, Shayna, Shayna. He was not distracted, however, and ended up with 27 points and 11 rebounds. Perry's team is having a much harder season. She is playing hard and good, but they just don't have any scoring power which makes it hard to walk away with anything but a tie. Perry plays center mid and leads the team in headers for sure. She is still trying to enjoy the experience, but a win would sure help :)!</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Went to the temple last night - learned a lot - love the peace that is there. Came home to 8 huge deep voiced teenage boys sprawled all over the sectional watching a basketball game - love this too. Woke up to rain and an uncancelled soccer tournament for Josie. Watching my little boys out the window right now as they float <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">lego</span> boats down the gutter - a tradition started by Davin and passed down. Now I am going to start chocolate molds for Jake's big wedding in one week! Busy, very busy, but happy, very happy!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div><br /></div>Haley, Brad, and the ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942403520346622224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7625778136138569944.post-6307927543592451712012-01-07T09:37:00.000-08:002012-01-07T10:02:29.900-08:00Went to the Santa Rosa <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Plataeus</span> yesterday our last day of Christmas break if you don't count the weekend. Brad was working so missed out on our adventure and picnic, but all six kids went. I was getting out of the shower when Dav came home from 3 hours of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">bball</span> practice, and I heard his 5 year old brother telling him we were going. His response, "I am not going dude." Brody's response, "She is going to make you." Davin's response, "Dude I said I'm not going my legs already ache." Brody's response, "Your going <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">cuz</span> we're all having a picnic." By the time I got downstairs to tell Davin it would mean a lot to this old mom if all of her children could spend just 2 hours together he was all for it. Thanks Brody for laying the ground work :) and for being so confident and strong to be a match for that big old teenage brother of yours! It was beautiful and warm and everyone was playful and pleasant. The key is short activities with reasonable expectations. In fact expectations are the key to most of our happiness or unhappiness. I had a college professor spend two lectures on this topic, and at the time I didn't fully comprehend the message. Mostly I just thought it was strange that in an English class I was being taught about expectations. I get it now for sure. I will not expect my entire family to "joyfully" work together on Saturday morning or anytime for that matter. We work to get it done and I don't care about the joy part and don't expect it. I don't expect an amazing hot date with my hubby <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">every week</span>, so when I get one like last night it is delightful. I do expect the kids to do their best at whatever they do, I expect respectful interaction even when there is an "issue", I expect time, which is precious, to be balanced so that this family gets some of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">every one's</span>! So two hours together in nature with all my peeps was just great.

It boils down to kindness and self-control because when you focus on these two, it naturally leads to good character. It was clear to us in the beginning that if you focus just on obedience children will obey out of fear or to please or other reasons, but not because they are developing and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">recognizing</span> their own internal desire. It has worked pretty well. There have definitely been times when we have had to force immediate obedience because of the situation, but for the most part you guys are turning out to be really kind empathetic people with your own "good character". Love you guys tons - not going to apologize for intentional parenting :)!Haley, Brad, and the ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942403520346622224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7625778136138569944.post-49274881972687525712011-12-29T14:18:00.000-08:002011-12-29T14:47:29.344-08:00<div align="center"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span> so this Christmas season really was incredible.

What is important is that you are kind and intelligent, happy and helpful, diligent and fun. You are sensitive which is not a bad thing like some may want you to believe - it is especially sweet with you because it is combined with a toughness that will help you make it in this life. The sensitivity is a special gift you have to offer this world that lacks. I love you every last bit! I hope 13 will be an amazing year for you!!!!!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Haley, Brad, and the ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942403520346622224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7625778136138569944.post-2155801206792282522011-11-26T09:08:00.000-08:002011-11-26T09:17:37.821-08:00Went to Nana and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving. Had a wonderful meal and relaxing day with my favorite people. Got the Christmas pictures taken!!! Yea!!! Davin was happy it only took 30 minutes. Sat down all 10 of us and did some service for a loved one. I would like to do a service project every Thanksgiving. We sure missed our recent <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Tennessee</span> transplants, but they were having a wonderful day too. Then we went straight into soccer. I really wish Thanksgiving weekend was without activities because Brad takes a couple of days off and it is a nice time to just be a family - go to the park, the movie, have a picnic. I am trying to be positive though, so we are off to San Diego for a 3 o'clock game and a 7:30 game.Haley, Brad, and the ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942403520346622224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7625778136138569944.post-56044167494207701722011-11-20T16:44:00.000-08:002011-11-20T18:13:03.345-08:00<div align="center">I felt so happy today when I woke up. A good night's sleep on a comfy bed with a week of school vacation in front of me, a crisp night and morning with the sun streaming through some clouds and half of my Christmas shopping complete seem to do it for me. Now it is dark and raining and I just feel like jumping on the couch with a bunch of blankets and snuggling! I do feel bad for the dog, he must have cabin fever. I am thinking about Thanksgiving and what kind of service we are going to do - some of the gang really only think about the food (not mentioning members by name here, but we definitely have some foodies at our house)! I am thankful for many things. When I think about how thankful I am for my family, it actually makes my insides zing! </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">This is Mrs. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Naerbo</span> with her 3rd grade class.

I can hardly keep up, but we love it and certainly wouldn't trade it. The dad is back - yahoo!!!! Kellen is talking up a storm, and is really aware of everything that goes on. A couple of days ago he was going up the stairs as Perry was running down, and he stopped turned and said, "cute!" Perry stopped and turned up to him and said, "what did you say?" To which he responded, "you cute." Wish I had a camera to capture the smile on her face! Brody had his school conference for kindergarten. He is young, so we really went back and forth on sending him, but according to his teacher, he is having a great year so far in academics and citizenship - way to go Brody (Mom says you are special - don't ever forget!) Emmie is getting ready to start up dance again after soccer which she reminds me of often. The mom just had to have a month off with activities for her and Brody! She has been focused on passing off her multiplication facts up to 12s, and is taking the test for the 12s as I type. She is so hopeful because then she gets to go to Math Masters with the 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> graders! Josie has long term subs in her 4 core subjects - unbelievable! The language arts and social studies is great, but the math one doesn't even give them the lesson. She is in Algebra which is such an important foundation for future math that I was starting to panic. Not Josie. She just signed up with the textbook online and takes the lessons from the textbook website. Thank goodness she is willing to put that kind of time in. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Drum roll</span> please ... Perry got her learners permit. She turned 15 1/2 on Sunday, Nov 6<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> and took the test Monday, Nov 7<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Drum roll</span> please... Davin just got his first official job! He has always taken odd jobs during breaks and summers, but hasn't been able to find anything regular that would work with AP classes and basketball. He is now a ref for the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Murrieta</span> Youth Basketball League. He has 3 games on Sat., so we will see how it goes. I waited for Halloween to pass and started painting the family room and kitchen. It is finished, and we are so happy. Kellen keeps walking in there and saying "like it mom, like it". This is just the surface, I really could write a book! Oh, I forgot that somewhere in there I had a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">spaghetti</span> dinner for 40 church girls and their moms at our home - 8-11 year old girls are beautiful. I love being with them! We also got college apps done and sent in last week- gulp!!! I love this life. Our family focus right now is on treating others the way you want to be treated and thinking of others first. I just can't stand it when the focus becomes following rules and obeying. Come on guys, we can do it. Our home is a much more peaceful and positive place to be when our focus is in the right place :)!</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><strong>Big Brother helping out with math</strong></div><br /><div align="center">(I had to take a quick picture because this is what makes me love this big family - when members help without being asked because they love each other!)</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMwtAb7R41ElpceBO2xRcxQc57wNszLF0A10myjtkWQEw2suaOWOlMaCpCRrwLe1HXehMEfF8a258q2NEZxRe5OTS_NX9lW1VL-1rZPm2VXtChJEZkR0sbrsxlo3NcFa78O7XXjdfr5Po/s1600/DSC08652.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673477491580266546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMwtAb7R41ElpceBO2xRcxQc57wNszLF0A10myjtkWQEw2suaOWOlMaCpCRrwLe1HXehMEfF8a258q2NEZxRe5OTS_NX9lW1VL-1rZPm2VXtChJEZkR0sbrsxlo3NcFa78O7XXjdfr5Po/s320/DSC08652.JPG" /></a> <strong>Halloween night 2011<br /></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0SW5Q1FgGqNt2VldWE4doFe3SS-e7b7D6NZ_M0BfAOeWPCQ5BvVYfiMvjunrBwOEwIq3Hew8lr5upDSluDQku_pE0vLgnMIUrm3vBm9JbFCV7qdtbWPLvjfBSgYkZJsou2ViuY-tsuXY/s1600/DSC08650.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673477486795709698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0SW5Q1FgGqNt2VldWE4doFe3SS-e7b7D6NZ_M0BfAOeWPCQ5BvVYfiMvjunrBwOEwIq3Hew8lr5upDSluDQku_pE0vLgnMIUrm3vBm9JbFCV7qdtbWPLvjfBSgYkZJsou2ViuY-tsuXY/s320/DSC08650.JPG" /></a>Josie and her friends were 80's girls.

I have done a lot of scripture reading and early bedtime to have the energy to run a family with 6 busy children using patience and love. I have definitely not been perfect <strong>darn it</strong> - I got the time wrong for a couple of practices and raised my voice from time to time especially during the dinner bedtime hours. (I cried twice which is a lot for me!) There were several nights when we had soup or <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ugh</span></strong> frozen food like <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">taquitos</span>, but we had dinner together every night even if it was at 4:45 on Wednesdays for 15 minutes between 3 children's practices. The food and practice schedules aren't even the half of it. Add homework, projects, church activities, supplies (always requested the day before they are needed), cleaning, shopping, emotional support for older children, doctor <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">appts.</span>, classroom help, workouts, Halloween costumes, park days for little ones... and you get the picture. I am so happy that tomorrow is the last day. The thing is that I had help. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Guinn</span> kids have been amazing. They know we are a team thank goodness. My parents have come out to stay with little ones while I had doctor <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">appts</span>., and my Mom "forced" me to go on a wonderful weekend getaway while my Dad manned the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">home front</span>. The scriptures helped me the most. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mosiah</span> 24:14 -15, "And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs ... the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord." See I realize that what I am doing with my life right now is good works and Alma says to his son <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Heleman</span> in Alma 37:34, "never be weary of good works, be meek and lowly in heart; for such shall find <strong>rest</strong> to their souls." </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Josie has her first cross country meet.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzB6EnprV4LM1MvtK_kQz9kG-tBJM4729zWlEp3XpN9n7X8X1oW2kvhUaborAURmZaVLVcrdE2PNXjJAPW2Zgv0h9JfY72U2DNKwLX9xJK-mGliVCnAX94eXyiAYlnlk1zDg2CxLhY9Zo/s1600/DSC08597.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668299587625251938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzB6EnprV4LM1MvtK_kQz9kG-tBJM4729zWlEp3XpN9n7X8X1oW2kvhUaborAURmZaVLVcrdE2PNXjJAPW2Zgv0h9JfY72U2DNKwLX9xJK-mGliVCnAX94eXyiAYlnlk1zDg2CxLhY9Zo/s320/DSC08597.JPG" /></a> Here she comes through the finish line in ......<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCdagbcF0iZBpPff16OQuk3RSfZwmcz9FytBkHsSZQVBVU7564Yt9_tua_wNCiwq9_g-UKAmxy-h8kB5D6s7q7bI70uuF-a_T-PkQo8o_qWfZsUgTJ74UhSiH0jWH9KEacxw1MZfj6Zfc/s1600/DSC08596.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668299583360983506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCdagbcF0iZBpPff16OQuk3RSfZwmcz9FytBkHsSZQVBVU7564Yt9_tua_wNCiwq9_g-UKAmxy-h8kB5D6s7q7bI70uuF-a_T-PkQo8o_qWfZsUgTJ74UhSiH0jWH9KEacxw1MZfj6Zfc/s320/DSC08596.JPG" /></a><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">First</span></strong> !!!!!!!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxw4QvRNHy2u8dYt99cdfdoMJGBC1jTrstQKLAAqFeH7K_kMHva7TvoUABDvXxTIkEiGgJozlPh85tVeobfSxYTB7VIme-_pb3IDnu00ohPvOFfYQ94SjJzIfmxbi0Po84F2VVem-YNvg/s1600/DSC08592.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668299207107460018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxw4QvRNHy2u8dYt99cdfdoMJGBC1jTrstQKLAAqFeH7K_kMHva7TvoUABDvXxTIkEiGgJozlPh85tVeobfSxYTB7VIme-_pb3IDnu00ohPvOFfYQ94SjJzIfmxbi0Po84F2VVem-YNvg/s320/DSC08592.JPG" /></a>Look at that concentration :)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHep70LsUpfaUA189JGUqaXg1wfgFVbOHid4SVlfN00yXKf9UkBenMM63s-95VATB36R1NRU7_EfdM0eYxmbL6JB5oUY30o0qRDIBGCq_OoffQW-PloPNfu2EvduHajVzuzPknjkK5qyI/s1600/DSC08584.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668299198489628002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHep70LsUpfaUA189JGUqaXg1wfgFVbOHid4SVlfN00yXKf9UkBenMM63s-95VATB36R1NRU7_EfdM0eYxmbL6JB5oUY30o0qRDIBGCq_OoffQW-PloPNfu2EvduHajVzuzPknjkK5qyI/s320/DSC08584.JPG" /></a>The take off<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGIAGbvhN9GTFjvAEMjoEEgmeimmtnaNQL2Oygbra8vUar8M_R7alYNPt-HZ3AsgpeErubo_sLC2F3_jqLBl5C_1E9U8h_6UDes9Y8pAADu_fSMR20vIBe1ZSGdpUedZI5qToyN6ctdk0/s1600/DSC08578.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668299197480158434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGIAGbvhN9GTFjvAEMjoEEgmeimmtnaNQL2Oygbra8vUar8M_R7alYNPt-HZ3AsgpeErubo_sLC2F3_jqLBl5C_1E9U8h_6UDes9Y8pAADu_fSMR20vIBe1ZSGdpUedZI5qToyN6ctdk0/s320/DSC08578.JPG" /></a> relaxed at the start</div><br /><div><br />Kellen is two!!!!!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjXrfLw4xB2pUK_MsNO5iym6ZIDhb9ivvMfoROJUWGYKk0wxlDfUiST0flwVrfLSDkXhq3bb-NWDGCyjUzYa9SGltknlBMGQGV8bZzGlUobgDiu5a-0pF6p2DuKr35wWzGPa-Kf4n8m8/s1600/DSC08574.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668298600736177474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjXrfLw4xB2pUK_MsNO5iym6ZIDhb9ivvMfoROJUWGYKk0wxlDfUiST0flwVrfLSDkXhq3bb-NWDGCyjUzYa9SGltknlBMGQGV8bZzGlUobgDiu5a-0pF6p2DuKr35wWzGPa-Kf4n8m8/s320/DSC08574.JPG" /></a>This boy is so cute and sweet and two. This week he has discovered markers - markers on walls, markers on closets, markers on counters, markers on balls. He is talking up a storm, has a cute sense of humor, loves his buds Emmie and Brody, loves his big buds too.

I wonder sometimes if we have taught him all that he needs to know to go out into the world at the end of this school year, and the thought makes me gulp for air.

The kids here don't wear them. In fact, they hardly even wear <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">long sleeve</span> shirts. I have been wanting to get him one, but we decided to wait until he mostly stopped growing. I think we are just about there, but just in case we left room in the sleeve and pant leg to let out. He is 6'5" now without shoes. Davin went on a recruiting trip to MIT and Northeastern recently. He enjoyed the visit to Boston since he hasn't really travelled much, but I just can't imagine him going that far away! Before he went, he really thought the idea of MIT was exciting - I mean it is MIT, but he has had time to think about it and is leaning toward not going all the way to Boston. We are trying our very hardest to just guide him and give him space to explore his options without just telling him what we "know" would be best. For those of you reading this that have not gotten to this with your oldest yet, it is challenging - guide, advise but not push. They do have to come to the decision for themselves even if you do know what is best!</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Taylor Swift here we come!!!!!<br /></span></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6grSvg_M9TsaJUUNoBl6YugsZsT-X-MzbI5ZCwmaN3WoyBEcN8t7BbEFhkADDkvIs9UPHCK63qKGnRbYI3vn94g38CStewvt9KyRHnCw9VCRXSE6beC8rZVNCuIvw9BHgMYeWk_wdaBc/s1600/CIMG1540.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656431818942532482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6grSvg_M9TsaJUUNoBl6YugsZsT-X-MzbI5ZCwmaN3WoyBEcN8t7BbEFhkADDkvIs9UPHCK63qKGnRbYI3vn94g38CStewvt9KyRHnCw9VCRXSE6beC8rZVNCuIvw9BHgMYeWk_wdaBc/s320/CIMG1540.JPG" /></a> Heather and the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wertner</span> clan ran away from home and landed in Memphis, TN.

Kellen is not so happy all of his friends ditched him, but we took care of that at least on Tuesday and Thursday. We are trading houses with Cannon Edwards so the moms can help in the classrooms and the little ones have a friend - so far so good. Soccer is in full swing at our house with four playing right now. Brody is in heaven playing on the Green Tanks, Emmie not so much. Perry and Josie are on the same club teams as last year and playing tournaments all over southern cal. every weekend! Davin is all basketball trying to get ready for his senior season. Brad is working in Texas Monday through Thursday and we really miss him in the evenings. Did I mention how much Brody loves kindergarten. We weren't certain we were even going to send him, but he has told me several times that he loves school. I asked him what he loves, and he told me "everything".
<br />
<br />This is what I want my children to know...
<br />"Trust the Lord. Believe in Him. Study His words. Worship your father in Heaven in the holy and sacred name of His Beloved Son...Faith is one of the greatest powers that you and I have in this sojourn of mortality. Fear is one of those principles that the devil uses...replace any fear or apprehension you have now with faith...May every righteous desire of your hearts be granted through your faithfulness and your trust in your Heavenly Father." M. Russell Ballard

<br /><div align="center">So I am a little behind in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Guinn</span> going- <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">ons</span> only because there was so much going on. I tried to enjoy every moment of having the kids home from school. I love having them home, and at the end of every summer I can be heard lamenting the same thing as school approaches, "it just wasn't enough time!" Where does it go? I heard sister Sherri Dew at a stake women's conference today say that earthly life is only 3 minutes and 27 seconds of total life including <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">pre-</span>mortal life and eternal life. Everybody laughed, but I just knew she was right. I am glad that I stopped everything and spent time with my family. We went to the beach, swimming most days and sometimes twice, spent the night with cousins before their big move to TN, had parties, went to Bear Lake, had basketball and soccer games, dance recitals, went to movies, saw old friends, celebrated lots of birthdays and a 20 year anniversary, went to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">legoland</span>, spent time at favorite parks, had lots of camps, and we did not work very much which I am <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">OK</span> with since we work really hard most of the year. Now we are off to a start of a great school year with Davin entering his senior year and Brody beginning his formal education in kindergarten (we went back and forth on this like you wouldn't believe because his <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">bday</span> isn't 'til August, but in the end we started him). I so enjoyed the first day when the last child got home - I found us all sitting around the kitchen chatting in turn sharing our first day experiences with the people that matter. Our family motto for this year is Learn, Work, Serve, Endure! I sure hope we can live up to it.</div>

<br />Brody turns five!!!! I can't believe my little boy is big. It goes back to that time thing I was talking about earlier. Happy Birthday to one amazing kid. You make your mama smile everyday with the things you say and the way you throw out your quick intense affection to those in your close circle. Your smart, your kind, your handsome - don't ever forget it. I think five is going to be a very good year for you!

<br />Did I mention that I decided to do a couple of home projects while I had helpers to entertain Mr. Kellen. This is the downstairs office. It was yellow walls with dark wood and beige seat covers, and now it is Tranquility blue walls with ivory antiqued wood and new fabric to coordinate on the seats. It was a lot of work, especially the sanding, but the results made it worth it.

<br />On a sad note, there are no pictures of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">BYU</span> basketball camp or Davin's high adventure trip off the coast of Santa Barbara. There are pictures of Perry and Josie at girls camp and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">legoland</span>, but they are on Perry's camera. There are no pictures of our 20 year anniversary - I believe Brad was on business in Houston and by the time he got home I wasn't thinking take pictures. There are also pictures of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">BYU</span> soccer camp for Perry and Cal Baptist soccer camp for Josie, but they are on different cameras.</div>

<br /><div>Let me conclude this monster post with comments on being married for 20 years. This was a big one for me because I have now been married for half of my life. What I know is that I found someone I could work through this life with which is the most important thing you can find. It helps that I was madly attracted to the guy and that I still love being wrapped up in his arms. We try our best to be a team, and although this needs fine tuning often, it works. My neighbor asked, "do you have problems?" I told her that the only issues we really have center around running a household so I just try to remember that. Keep it in perspective and always remember the grass is not greener on the other side - just water and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">fertilize</span> your own! Our love is solid, sometimes passionate, sometimes mellow, but it is constant and has been for over 20 years now, and I am hoping for at least 50 more!!!!!
