Taking a break

I am not sure who was taking a break here - the kids from the sun, or mom from the kids :) Either way, the kids were entertained for hours and I got a little time to relax! Finally summer!!!

Play Ball!

We signed Beau up to play T-Ball this summer. He has been so excited about it. We were getting ready to go to his first practice and he told me "I am going to be a STAR!! Someday Dad is going to watch me on T.V. and say that is my Son." Tonight was his first game - if you want to see funny, go to a T-Ball game :) As they were getting ready to bat, his coach called for Beau and told him to make sure he didn't swing the bat until he was given the okay (he is a little crazy with the bat). He did a great job at bat, but out field was a different story. He did get a few balls and attempted to throw them to first base. He had a great time playing, when he was done, he told me "I didn't let you down Mom". I am so excited to start watching my little boy grow up and become a "STAR"!!

The Holy Ghost

Beau has to give a talk on the Holy Ghost this Sunday. After discussing this with Beau, we decided that he wanted to give a talk on what happened to our family on Memorial Day.

We invited my in-laws to come over and have a Memorial Day cook out with us. After they got here, we all got busy getting the food ready. After awhile, I realized that I hadn't seen Beau. He had been playing with friends, so I checked there first. None of the kids had seen him, but said they would look around for them. I grabbed Clay and my in-laws, and started to look around for him. After we checked all the usual places and made sure he wasn't in the house, we started to get a little panicked. We all said silent prayers and spread out. Clay got in his truck to look, the neighbor got in his Ranger and started looking and the rest of us continued looking around the house. By this time he had been missing for at least a half hour. The Spirit told my mother-in-law to look in the trunk of her car. She immediately went and opened it up, and there lay my little boy. He had been curious about her keys that opened the trunk, then decided to play hide and seek. Thank goodness it was not a very hot day, or we may have lost him. I am also very thankful for the Holy Ghost and that my mother-in-law was in tune with the Spirit that day.

We have talked this over with Beau, not only for his safety in the future, but also for a spiritual lesson. When I saw the subject of the talk he had to give, I thought it would be a good idea to write down this experience and share it with others. I think Beau will remember this lesson the rest of his life.
