My Weekly Meal Plan

This week among the harvesting, canning, and other fun events (see below).

A lot happened this week but to keep from going on too long I will just highlight the fun events and things I actually took pictures of.

On Labor Day Ryan took the younger kids fishing with Grandpa and some cousins. Curt caught his first fish (yeah we aren't big fishermen around here) and cleaned it and cooked it up and even ate some! He actually thought it was quite good I thought it was pretty fishy tasting.

I have never been a huge fish fan although I did have some fresh caught Wild Alaskan Salmon this Summer that I thought was pretty good and didn't have much fishy flavor. But the trout kind of just tastes like fishy lake water to me. ;)

He was pretty proud of himself and now has earned his fishing merit badge.

Missy was asked to the homecoming dance by a good friend of hers. There was a stack of books on her desk Thursday morning when she got to Seminary with a paper on it saying...."Missy I heard this vicious rumor that you like to read!" Then there where page numbers, paragraph numbers, words and letters she had to find throughout the books. It took here a little while but she figured it out.

When I took this picture of her I told her that it doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary she sits on the floor reading through books on a very regular basis. It was cute! Today she snuck a pack of highlighters in his bag that said on the back......"It would be the highlight of my night." She had he brother help her out and they managed it without him seeing.

On Saturday my baby girl was baptized by her Dad! I was so proud of her she has been looking forward to this for such a long time! She was so excited!

Saturday morning she woke up not feeling very good she said she was just thirsty and not hungry I was worried she was maybe coming down with something then as I paid attention I could tell she wasn't feverish or sick she was just super excited and her nerves were getting the best of her.

She got dressed and then felt a little better so then she had breakfast. Once we got to the church and I was helping her change into her jumper I could tell she still wasn't feeling really well. I asked her if she was okay and she said "Yes I'm fine......It's just so much excitement for one day!"

I thought that she described it perfectly! It was a lot of excitement for one day for one little girl but I just told her to breathe and that everything would be all right. The Lord was with her. Well she sang with her cousins and brother and was baptized and confirmed and was excited and happy the entire time.

I don't remember my other kids being quite so excited and nervous so this was a little different for me but Charly handled it with lots of grace and I was so proud of her!
