Oh The Joys of Teaching

This past week has been a little crazy, but what's new? Life is always busy now that Brian is in scouts and Young Mens and I am in Relief Society. I was asked a few weeks ago to teach this Sunday. Anyone who knows me knows that I am NOT a public speaker of any sort, but to teach is 10 times worse for me. I am so scatter brained when I get in front of people that teaching has, in the past, been a very bad experience for me. I taught Relief Society today on prayer and I did a lot of that this last week in preparation for this lesson. I tried to forget that I was teaching during church so that I could enjoy the other lessons. I actually did a good job forgetting, thanks to my crazy son who takes up a lot of my attention. So Relief Society came and it was time. Of course I got really nervous but it wasn't as bad as the anticipation. It actually went really well because I had a lot of comments and I stayed pretty close to what I wanted to say. I got a little sidetracked a couple times but overall, it went well. I am SO glad it is over and I don't have to teach until November. The funny thing about me teaching is that I am the secretary of Relief Society so I'm not considered a part of the presidency. So I don't have to go to certain meetings and I never have to conduct but yet I have to teach. Makes no sense but oh well.

Yesterday, my sister and brother-in-law blessed their little angel, Clint. He was the baby who was supposed to be born a day before Ethan but was actually born three months too early. He is about the same size of Ethan now and he's 10 months old. It was a lot of fun getting together with my family and to see little Clint out and about. He's been stuck at home for most his life so he wouldn't get sick so this was the first time he got to see some of Mason's family. It was a lot of fun but unfortunately, I didn't have my camera so no pictures. Sorry.

Ethan is 7 months old today. He is growing so fast and I can't believe he's been with us that long. Its so great and I just love my angel baby. He is so much happier and will laugh for no reason. He just loves to eat anything he can get in his mouth, especially table foods. I've been careful what I give him but I let him eat half pieces of cheerios. He loves them! He could eat them all day. Silly boy! We love him so much. He's such a huge blessing in our lives. I know I say that a lot but its so true. Love you baby!
