Saddle up!

I guess it's time to buck up and get ready because I have an entire herd to reign in!!! (Wow, that was a whole lot of twang there!! At least in my head there was!!)

Yesterday I was officially called as the primary president in our branch. (Primary president is "in charge" of the children in my church . Check out www.lds.org). Woah. I always wondered what it would feel like if this ever happened. Once again I say....woah. I know most people probably feel the same way but there is no way to describe it. Scary, overwhelming(in a good way), exhausting (once again in a good way!), but fun!! I love the kiddos in our Primary. They are amazing. The knowledge they have and their love for the gospel overwhlems me!! I tear up pretty much every time they speak.
I love this gospel!! I especially love the children. 

Everyone wonders why there is so much excitement for me. I didn't grow up in the gospel. I joined when I was 18. I missed Primary and Young womens and jumped straight into Relief Society. Not that it's a bad thing, but I like experiencing it. Especially with my kiddos.

Anyone out there have any advice, PLEASE don't hesitate!! I am very open to any advice. I love all of you that follow this little ol' blog! You are all inspirational to me!!!!

FUN blocks


I've been wanting to show my fun blocks for awhile (like since the beginning of May) but life is crazy!! But I love these blocks! They scream SUMMER to me and I adore summer!! I love picnics and since picnics are FUN, I put the two together with a littlw whimsy in the form of ants!! Be kind to my art! I don't have any fancy machines, just paint and brushes!! I love to create and do things for free!! Or at least as close to free as possible!!

Thank you for the followers who leave such lovely comments!! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the summer!!
