Proclamation Effay Cheese

A couple months ago we decided to take a sentence from "The Family, A Proclamation to the World" as the topic schedule for our upcoming family home evenings. It's the part where it says,

"Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities."

So we did an FHE on each of those and it's been awesome. Yesterday we finished up with the last one, so for our FHE we picked up Wendy's for dinner and headed up the canyon for fun and adventure.


So much fun and adventure in fact that eating wasn't even close to first on the list for two little boys. They actually finished all their food though, which is a credit to them in such an environment. :)


Jonathan was super proud to have climbed up so high. He could take some lessons from his cousin Isaac, who is a superb climber too.


And, (drum roll) I actually got a picture with me in it, and with all of us together! It happens less often than I would like. Luke is doing his best to get his finger in John's ear, hence the "he's getting me!" face. Seth got all shy because he didn't know the woman we asked to take our picture. He's that kind of boy. :) But hey, it's a family picture. I'll take whatever I can get. :)

We came home and had Otter Pops on the front lawn, and Luke had his first serving of rice cereal, and was a pro at it.

Anyway, it was great fun, and I'd like to do it every single day.
