For Family Home Evening one night we acted out Lehi's Dream, found in 1st Nephi 8. We used the Book of Mormon Stories for our version. Ethan came up with a lot of our props, and put together the tree of life for us. I was very impressed with his creativity.
Thanks Daniel and Amy for inspiring us!

Happy Mother's Day
We wanted to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of you women out there with a Mother Heart.
The word cloud above was generated using Tagxedo. From the site - "Tagxedo turns words -- famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, even your love letters -- into a visually stunning tag cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence within the body of text."
We used the LDS Conference talk by Julie B. Beck in 2004 titled "A Mother Heart" to generate the above image. Added a few extra instances of Mother, Heart, Family, Joy, and Love to accentuate those words a little more. Also removed a few less desirable words like old.
Even though it's a little late, Happy Mother's Day!

Fun in Orlando
Mike's company held a symposium in Orlando Florida and we decided to take the family down for the event. We left a couple days early to go to Walt Disney World. Mike's sister, Jeanne, came out to help with the kids as well. Due to the size of our family, we could really only justify spending one day there, but it was a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures from our day at the Magic Kingdom.
The kids had worked hard to save money for our trip there and we gave them each their money in a fanny pack and let them know that it was theirs to spend, but had them wait until later in the day so they could make sure they knew what they wanted. It worked great, there was no begging for this or that souvenir. They each picked their own items and managed their money.
We also went to the Orlando Science Center while we were there. Our membership at the local science museum got us free admission there, so that was a sweet deal. The kids especially enjoyed the science of toys exhibit and kid town. We got to touch a toad, see baby alligators get fed, and look for dinosaur fossils. Lots of hands-on activities.
