August 22 - August 28

Sunday August 22nd. Today Chief recited this month's scripture in front of the other children at church. "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith." -- 2 Nephi 27:23 Buddy was asked to give a talk based on that scripture, so he told a story about one of the miracles that Jesus performed. Instead of putting a picture in for today, I will have Chief write out the scripture on a 4x6 card, along with a reference to the miracle that Buddy talked about, and slide that into the pocket.

Monday August 23rd. We had a storm over the weekend. The kids and I noticed several fallen trees on our way to school this morning.


Tuesday August 24th. Buddy had a dental appointment today. I had him take a picture of his view from "the chair." Toy Story 2 was playing. :)


Wednesday August 25th. Today's picture is of the 3 boys having a lightsaber duel in the backyard before school. It had been a while since they'd pulled out the lightsabers and I really enjoyed watching them play together.

Thursday August 26th. Here's my trail mix that I put together to snack on this week. Hmmm...the M&Ms seem to be disappearing a bit faster than the almonds and sunflower kernels.


Friday August 27th. I didn't have a picture for today, so I pulled this one from my stash. I'm not sure if I've used it yet or not. Maxwell Smart eating a banana. My kids call this "eating a banana like a monkey" -- as opposed to the other option -- "cut in circles."


Saturday August 28th. I took Buddy for a little bike ride. I mainly took this picture for my sister so she could see him in this cape that she made for Chief years ago. (It's reversible...Superman is on the other side.) Buddy asked, "Why are you taking pictures of me?" "So I can show Aunt M a picture of you wearing the cape she made years ago." "Oh. Because she forgot what it looks like?" :)

Wow! Two-thirds down...1/3 to go!
