Silly Mom / Fishing at American Falls

"It must have been a busy morning".

Sympathetic words from Shay's nursery teacher Sister Nelson trying to
console my horror that we brought Shay to church without underwear on.
Naturally Shay told her teachers, but not Ty. In the rush to get Kysa to
primary on time (to give her first scripture) I gave Shay her dress to put
on. I never bothered to check her undies. Ty took Shay and Kysa and
Raleigh in the Ex while I tried to locate Kysa's scripture illustration.
I found it, and the girls were on time, only problem, no panties for Shay.
The nursery ladies had a pull-up, but Shay being Shay, she wouldn't put it
on. Little did Ty and I know or we would have ran home and rectified the
situation. (ha ha, rectified) I was mortified.sort of. I mean, she's 3.
I was more embarrassed of my parenting. I asked Shay why she didn't wear
any underwear, and she exclaimed, "Because you just didn't put any on me,
silly!"

Kysa did a great job on her scripture. A handicapped young man named Robbie
who is about 17 and still goes to primary was really impressed. On
completion of her scripture, he enthusiastically gave his approval-"Great
job!" It was cute. Kysa was proud of herself, and followed in Raleigh's
footsteps, giving the same scripture that he gave in September of 2006, his
first primary scripture. She had it mostly memorized. 2 Timothy, Chapter
1, Verse 7, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and
of love, and of a sound mind."

Yesterday we had a fun fishing trip to American Falls dam with Grandma
Jer-Bear and G-Ro. No luck catching trout, but we did catch some bass,
including a lunker that Ty said was the biggest bass he'd seen. Before we
started catching fish we had some excitement when Kysa fell off the front of
the boat as she was dipping her feet in the water. I jumped in after her.
She freaked a little bit but not too bad, and Raleigh was kind enough to
jump in and swim out to her, which helped her relax. Shay also got in on
her own accord and proceeded to freak out. Raleigh enjoyed swimming in the
reservoir enough that he was really hoping to get in a 2nd time, but the
bass fishing area was quite mossy so we didn't get in again. After fishing
we went to Pizza Hut. The American Falls trip has become an annual event.
This was the 4th consecutive annual trip with Grandma and Grandpa.
