I loved watching Ian participating in his gynmatics class. That kid never ceases to amaze me! He did a lot of fun stuff that he never did before in the past. If he didn't succeed first, second and third time, he is not afraid to try fourth time. And he did succeed! I am so proud of him. I can't wait to take my kids to the classes this Thursday and watch them having fun all over again! Ian said he prefers that sport over soccer any time. I said that he has to do it one more time this fall before we make the decision for real. Suzy and Annalise are so excited about using the equipments in gynmatics class and I was able to observe for real how significant development milestones can be in children's physical ability.

I am sewing the pioneer dresses for myself and my girls. After that women's project, I will move onto boys'. I will cut out used church shirts collars out and resew. Then I will see if I can make them simple vests. I will be done with my pioneer dress very soon. I just have hemming at the bottom to do plus tucking some parts there and there in. I will be able to take a snapshot of myself in the pioneer dress as soon as I am able to get bloomer and bonnet done. In the case, I am sure you are wondering why I am doing this. There's pioneer trek which my ward is planning for this year. It will be three day long thing between July 31 and Aug 2. After the pioneer trek, Clint and I will be going up to South Dakota to visit my parents.

I'm putting my scrapbooking project on hold due to dresses. Then I will be back to it happily! I really had so much fun playing with photo program and matching them up to theme, pages, etc.

I got Ensign for May's and I am spending nights reading the talks from General Conference. I love them all! One night in particular which I never will forget. Ian heard about Bloody Mary story on playground at the school. One of the boys told Ian that if he said the name three times, Mary will come and kill him. Ian got very scared about it one night. He could not sleep. I got him to lay down in my bed and read with him the topic from General Conference on Personal Witness of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Ghost. The spirit was so strong and its peace was all pervading. Ian calmed down very quickly and was asleep by the end of talk. What a wonderful thing we have. It really calms the storms of soul and brings happiness to our hearts in the troubled times!
