Noah's Arc

We had family home evening again

and it was my turn to do the lesson.

It was on Noah's Arc. Mandy made

potatoe boats. For those of you who

haven't had them, this is how they

are made. Cut your hotdogs in half

and fry them. Put mashed potatoes

on top. Then cover them in cheese.

You can put ranch or ketshup on

them. This is one of MiCayla's favorite

meals they have at her school. It was

a hit YUMMY. They resembelled

Noah's Arc.
I had the kids build hammers for

their craft. They were made out

of a dowel, a rock, and bees wax

string. I explained to them

that this hammer was probably

similar to what Noah used.
During the lesson they took

turns hammering a nail with

their home made hammers

into a piece of wood to add

on the arc that we finished.

Helping to build the arc.

(VERY INTENSE) hoping they

wouldn't turn that hammer

into a weapon. LOL

I stayed up all night cutting pictures

of animals out of books to place in

the arc. Around 12:30 at night as

I was cutting away, this little voice

whispered in my ear saying, MOM

your beanie babies!.WOW what was

I thinking. I can only think and know

in my heart that Shelbie was with

me knowing how frustarated I was,

trying to get the pictures together

and how simple that small still voice

helped me out.
I gave my grandchildren 6 beaines

each to place in the arc. As they

placed them in the arc we counted

2 cows, 2 horses, 2 sheep, 2 snakes,

2 elephants ect. Every time the

story talked about it raining,

I had a water bottle and I would

spray the kiddies. It was Soooo

fun to be on my end LOL. At the

end of the lesson I told them how

Noah built a altar and worshipped

God.That he was so thankful that

the Lord had protected him and his

family. Then he looked up into

the sky and saw a beautiful rainbow

and heard the voice of God speaking

to him. God told Noah that the

rainbow was a promise that He

would NEVER AGAIN destroy

the whole earth with a flood.
Mandy made banana splits

for deseret.Reminding the

grandkids that these to

represented the arc.

Here is the dove that Noah sent

out of the arc and returned with

a olive branch which let Noah

know that the waters had gone

down and the plants were

beginning to grow.
I hope the kids and grandkids enjoyed

their night as much as I did. I am so

blessed to be able to share the gospel

with them. LOVE YOU TO THE

MOON AND BACK!!!

Family Home Evening

Every Monday, We get together and have Family Home Evening. We take turns planning the event. This week was Mandy's turn. The lesson was on David and Goliath. Mandy brought over yummy porcupine meatballs which represented the stones,with salad and french bread. After dinner we painted rocks. While they were drying we had the lesson on David and Goliath.Mandy did such a wonderful job. It has been fun teaching and learning the gospel as we go. After the lesson Mandy had a poem and it was to be sung as a rap. Well, I volunteered to do it. It was crazy. Well, so crazy that MiCayla about wet her pants laughing. Tulson was rolling on the floor. Tom was looking at me like WHAT THE HECK. (I guess your never to old to rap LOL. Ed I think was in shock, and Jake didn't realize what a weird mother in law he really had. Anyways, after the lesson when the rocks were dry, we painted on sayings and explained to the kids that if they ever feel sad or feeling they needed some extra help to reach into the sack and read the words which read.(God,Family,praying,strength,David). I hope we continue to do this. We all need God in our lives and through prayer we hope to strengthen our family and be humble as David was. Thanks my little family for sharing your life with me. Love you all!!!

Mother's Day To Mom

A mother's heart is a special place, I hold dear within my heart.

I know you still are with me, even though we are apart.

Bless you for your kindness, Mom,

Your love and guidance too.

So many times throughout the day,

my thoughts will turn to you-

I think of all the fun, and happiness we shared,

And just how great it makes me feel,

to know how much you cared.

So when I look into the stars in the sky so far above,

I hope you hear me whisper how much you are really loved.

Happy Mother's Day in Heaven Mom,

Miss And Love You Forever....Peg
