PROMISE YOURSELF

I loved this...thought I would pass it on.

PROMISE YOURSELF
by Christian D. Larson

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the
best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your
own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements
of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living
creature you meet.
To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to
criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too
happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in
loud work, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you
are true to the best that is in you.

Funnies From This Week

Stevie - We were at the park on Wednesday and Stevie ran over to me and said "Mom, I need your camera to take a picture of those boys. They look really cool." Here is the picture of the "cool" 8-9 year old soccer players at the park. Boy crazy already...

Jake - I was telling him that Kennadi is going to babysit them this weekend. He said "Mom, I'm tired of you saying babysit. We are not babies, we are kids. I'm going to call it Kidsit from now on. Okay?" Okay Jake.


Kelly - Loves hummus. She grabbed my bowl and went to town. She was having too much fun and I let her keep it for a while.

Independance Day

Sad but true...my kids shamed me into buying a flag for our house. They have been asking why we don't have a flag at our house...and they asked more than once. So we have a flag now to celebrate holidays. It has also been fun trying to figure out how to respond to questions like "What does freedom mean Mom?" They are the ones teaching me, I tell ya.

Here are a few pictures from our parade day with the Evans family on the Fourth. Park City's parade isn't all that exciting if you ask for my opinion, but the kids had such a great time. And the flag cake is one that we made for Steve's birthday.
