Enoch is FIVE

Happy Birthday to Enoch. I really only ever call him Eenie online anymore. He really is getting big. He frequently empties and sometimes even loads the dishwasher for me. He also often dumps water all over the place--including on his sisters, but that's another story ;).

I'm a little sad because I'll miss hearing him say, "Mom, am I five yet?" He's been kind of excited to turn five, I guess. I think a proper translation would be, "Mom, am I big yet?" He knows you have to be five to go to school.

BYU

I'm going to BYU again. Robert is doing what he can to hold his own up in Rapid City with a seven year old, while I finish my dream to graduate. . . yeah, it's been a few years since high school. . . ummmm. . . nine. Anyway. I. LOVE. IT. HERE. I'm so busy, but feeling so fulfilled. I learned how to pray in Spanish today. What other college could you go to where the language classes asked you to pray in the language? So cool. It would be nice if I still had friends here, is all. . . but the other students here are still pretty cool, and I'm not so old that they don't know I'm older than they are ;).

TV of the Past

Netflix has "Bobby's World." My kids are watching it for the first time today. It's kind of an annoying show, actually--especially his sibs. I don't think it will be on much in our house. I remember watching it all the time as a child, though. Explains a lot, I guess.

I specifically remember watching it in the hospital room right before I went in to get my tonsils out. The things you remember. I did NOT, however, remember that Bobby's dad (Howard) was Howie Mandel, or that Howie ever had that hairstyle. PS, I think Bobby's mom is a great example of a thick Wisconsin accent, don'cha know.

 

Hey, look, I changed the title pic.

I think I want to start blogging again. Maybe. My calling is to be a Mia Maid advisor, so I teach the YW lessons on Sundays. Best. Calling. Ever. Anyway, with the new lesson plans, we're supposed to have the YW really do the teaching, and we just kind of facilitate the discussion. I love it so much. One of the lessons, we talked about how to make prayer more meaningful in order to feel closer to Heavenly Father, and journaling was brought up. I used to journal. I think I want to do it again. I think I will. I'm going to try the blog to keep up one.
