"You sound like a London teacher!"


So today at church I was asked to substitute for singing time in Primary! Of course I said yes as I love Primary! I got to teach the children He Sent His Son ~ one of my favourite Primary songs! Everything was going really well, although I was a little nervous, silly I know, but for some reason I feel more comfortable teaching 12+, even adults then Primary children. I think it's probably because I have to really get the children's attention and I don't want them to think I'm boring, because knowing kids one of them might even tell me! lol But, our Primary (even though there are LOADS of kids ~ I think they make up half of our ward!) were great, they sang really well and answered all of the questions. I loved it!! So anyway, once I had finished Senior Primary I was taking down my visual aids when one of the boys said: "You sound like a London teacher!" It just made me laugh so much, I did reply and tell him I was in fact from England and he then said to his friends "See I told you; she is a London teacher!" I thought it was so cute, I had to share my fun experience in Primary. Don't you just find working with children so rewarding and fun! I do! :)

That sounds like so much fun :) I have two kids in primary, really wish it was bigger, especially as they don't even like to sing, ha ha! Hope all is well xxx

We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun.

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull mom...
