Last week for FHE (family hone ening) we did a forever family flower pot. I got the idea from my friend Melody-thanks Melody!! The lesson was on families can be together forever. We went to Walmart and we all chose a flower that we liked and then we came home and started planting. The flower pot represents the gospel that holds us all together. The soil is Heavenly Father's love for us that helps us grow, gives us nourishment and makes us bloom into someone better. The water represents Christ's love for us which we must have in order to grow and change.
This is it! All of us together forever! Shaylar and I picked the same orange flower (choices were limitied) Can you pick out all six flowers?
I love my family so much and am so thankful for my four wonderful children and my husband! I am so blessed!
Friday we went on a family walk around Show Low Lake. We didn't quite make it around the entire lake with the kids but it was fun. Shay and I are going to try it next date night with flashlights! (I just got done working out hence my groovy outfit I know you're jelous!
We bought an ice cream maker machine and Easton found a new hat! We made Homeade mint chocolate chip ice cream-yummy!
