Not a Child of God

I was quite amazed/ concerned and in awe of Clarissa the other day. She is way to smart for her own good. I think she is very logical and sometimes thinks to much. This has me worried. She is definitely a literal child. So it's a new year and time to move up in Primary. The first Sat. of the month/ year we went to the lunch w/ your primary teacher. I was concerned as Rissa has had difficulty with our ward change and misses her Sis. Coombs her Sunbeam teacher tremendously. I was hoping that maybe the Sunbeam teacher would move up with them since she was only there teacher for 4 Sundays, due to the ward change. Well we went the breakfast and it turns out that they had, had Clarissa in the CTR 5 class so she will end up with the same teacher. I was relived with that. Should lessen the drama, Remember she is trying out for Drama Queen .

Sunday went well however on Monday I came home to learn she was no longer a Child of God. After some discussion I found out that Rissa believes Child of God was the class she was in and now she's not a Child of God. We tried and have had friends explain that we are all Children of God but, she thinks she is a CTR now. Not sure how to get this across. Her reason is I'm not a child I'm a big person so I can't be a child of God (see I told you she think to much).

So if you see Clarissa you may want to remind her that she is a Child of God.

Just added updates that I hope to blog more about but, for now to keep in my memory. Clarissa started preschool last week. As well as a cooking class- that she loves, Her 2 favorite things to do are Cook and Cheer leading and writing. She loves paper. Hunter started a drum class as well. He would have taken other classes but, they were all canceled. Rissa is hoping to start Tennis soon, she is excited I just mentioned it and now we seem to see lots of tennis items. Hey could be a scholarship in her future. That is if she has more coordination than her mom.

New pictures of our Rock Star Princess

I was looking at the pumpkins on the table tonight as we decorated cookies and thought my big girl use to be smaller than that pumpkin. I so wish I had hallowed out a pumpkin and put her in it back then. Here is Rissa's first halloween picture. This is a pumpkin costume from the Build a bear store. She was just over a month old in the picture.

I have to tell you Her due date was Nov. 6th and I was just sure she was coming early. I wanted her to have an Oct. B day so her birthstone could be an opal like her mom's. I had my eye on this cute Dalmation costume at Target. Kent told me he'd go buy it even if I went into labor on the 31st. Just in case she made it before midnight. Didn't want her to miss out.

Well as well all know she made her grand entrance 6 weeks early on Sept. 25th- guess she wanted to share her Yaya's birthstone and not her mom's. And well everything was to big for her. But, the build a bear costume and clothes were just right.

Look how our little pumpkin turned into a princess

Hunting = Chocolate donuts

OK I plan to stage a picture or two but, wanted to get this jotted down.

Last Sunday I went to a friends house w/ Clarissa.
She asked Rissa did your dad get any thing hunting?
C: Pause, Yes, DONUTS
Friend: Donuts? anything else?
C: Yes, CHOCOLATE DONUTS!
Friend: chuckling. Oh, my that must have been quite a find.
C: Yes, I love CHOCOLATE DONUTS!

Okay it was just so cute. Rissa was like hello what else would he get when he goes hunting but, chocolate donuts.

Silly Girl! I hope her husband remembers the chocolate donuts when he comes home from Hunting trips. (Wait a minute maybe I should train her to marry a non hunter. She may see more of her husband. Or at least not marry a luck one like I did!)
