Anna and Amanda
Jared, Anna, and Amanda went to the Snowflake temple this morning to do baptisms. It was Amanda's first time.
James and I took James, Emmy, and Molly to town with us to buy ink. With three kids in the backseat it gets a little crowded. Molly got upset and was fighting with Emmy most of the way. I made her stay in the car with me a few minutes so I could talk to her when we got to Walmart. I wanted her to know that I love her and I want her to be happy. I talked to her calmly and in a kind voice. I told her it didn't seem like she loved her family because she gets so angry over such little things. I know it is hard to be the youngest and I know Emmy does things to upset her so I tried to take all of those things into consideration. Finally I told her we could go in the store if she could be happy and kind. We looked at games and toys and she was very good. On the way home we got Little Caesars pizza and breadsticks. Molly became angry with Emmy over some little thing. I know Emmy is part of the problem but I wanted to try to help Molly learn to control her anger. I told her I was grounding her when we got home and she told me I couldn't. I told her I could ground her from my food. She said if she didn't eat, she would die. I told her she could eat her dad's food while the rest of us had pizza and breadsticks.
While everyone else was eating pizza, Molly and I went in the bedroom. She was crying. I said: "Molly, I just want you to be happy and be kind to your family and not get so angry. I said I was going to have some pizza. She said if I left she was coming I said that was fine as long as she could be happy. She came out, ate pizza, and was happy. I know she does what she does because she wants to be heard.
When Jared got home he took Emmy and Molly sledding. The older kids stayed home to watch TV and play computer games. They watched my "Man From Uncle" movie and really liked it.
The girls were really cold when they get home but they said they had fun.
Jared fixed spaghetti for dinner. Afterwards he watched part of the ASU game. They played in the Cactus Bowl against West Virginia and ASU wins!
We have a slow leak in our basement right now. James goes down everyday and vacuums water out.
I hate the mud. Our road is terrible. Poor Lexy!
Back in Chandler Paul took this picture of Joshua eating a taco at Elmer's.
