Feeling humbled...

...but in a funny/happy kind of way I guess. Last night we were trying to begin FHE with a prayer. Eleyna was pretty keyed up and she wouldn't kneel down to pray. After a couple of minutes of attempting to persuade her I could feel my patience wearing thin. I was pretty close to just throwing in the towel and sending her down to bed. (Late evening is generally not when I shine as a mother.)

Finally she knelt down and we had our opening prayer. Bry gave a short lesson about Nephi getting tied up by his brothers on the ship to the promised land. He told Eleyna that after Nephi was untied he prayed and the Lord calmed the storm. Bry said that we can ask Heavenly Father for things when we pray. We sang a song and then asked Leynie to say the closing prayer. You better believe it hit me hard when she said during her prayer:
"Thank you that I could have family night with my daddy and mommy," and "Please bless that I can get a treat with my father." (So funny to hear her call Bryson "father"!)

I couldn't believe she picked up on what Bry said about asking the Lord for things. It was a tender reward to hear her gratitude for family night. Before bed, Bry and I were talking about it and we agreed that it was a pretty profound teaching moment for both of us.

So glad I discovered this!!! Rock has been Mr. Grumpypants lately. However, pop a watermelon rind in his mouth and he's happy for at least a little while. I LOVE this precious boy!
On Sunday afternoon we went up the canyon for a get-together with the White family from Bry's ward growing up. It was great to catch up with friends from Vegas that we don't see that often.(Me & my man, Aaron & Lindsey Futrell, Nikki & Jason Robinson, Preston & Taylor White)
