Wow, what a great day! Derek & I played baseball for almost an hour and Koda was a great fielder for us. She is getting much better at bringing the ball to us. Derek LOVES playing baseball. Fortunately I can pitch decent but Derek can hit really well. I am so proud of him. He stays with it even when it's hard. It rained on us the whole time but Derek stayed with it. Fortunately I was able to stay under a tree so I didn't get as soaked as he did.
Hannah has a goal to finish the Book of Mormon together as a family by the time she turns 15. We looked to see how many pages we have and then we checked to see how many days we have before Hannah turns 15 and we figured we only have to read a little over 2 pages a day to reach our goal. I am so glad that my kids have such great desires in their goals.
I am so grateful both the kids love and understand at their young age the importance of going to church and reading the scriptures. They really help to bring the spirit in our home.
Hannah has been reading a ton this summer. She just finished her 5th book. She is also volunteering at the library every Wednesday and Thursday. She loves it. She gets to help set up for summer activities for kids.
Derek can't wait until he can start volunteering too. He would also love to babysit. We miss the family that we used to babysit for.
I really believe that my kids are a product of my Mom & Dad. They were and are such great examples and great parents for me to learn from. The older I get and the longer I am a Mother the more truly amazing my Mom and Dad become.
