My pregnancies are usually pretty difficult. I struggle each day with feeling sick and it lasts until 19-20 weeks every time. Each day seems to last forever and I mark them off on a calendar as one more day that I have survived. So when Mike asked how my holidays had gone I truthfully answered that they too were just one more day for me to get through. Wrapping presents were a chore and so, I left many of them unwrapped.</div>

We set things up and went to bed early, as if it were a normal day of the week. I feel terrible that I didn't have the energy to do anything special. </div>

We did get our baby Jesus out and we read the story of "the true meaning of Christmas."<br />

The next morning the girls opened their gifts and they enjoyed playing with them. I gave Tsadakah the precious American Girl stuff that I have been preserving for all these years. There were outfits and furniture and a lot of accessories. I had also found the car for American Girl dolls. Lara (my sister, Leah's daughter) had gotten one for her birthday and so Tsadakah had been wanting the stuff. She had also asked Santa for a Barbie that cooks because she wants to be a chef when she grows up.<br />
<br />
Eliannah wanted little princesses again. So Santa brought her a Mermaid set, a littlest pet shop "fairy" (which looked more like an alien to me.) and a Fur Real Cat. We gave her a lot of Barbie accessories to go with it.<br />
<br />
MiKaylah LOVES dogs and Cats. So we got her a Fur Real Puppy. She also got a lot of clothes. Most kids don't want clothes for their gifts but she is very particular about her clothing and what she will and will not wear. She doesn't just want a dress every day, she wants THE dress every day. So she got a lot of skirts that match her specified style. She likes the real ruffle-layered tutu type of skirts. I also got one that was really lacy and gorgeous!<br />
<br />
I happened to not be able to sleep on Black Friday so I got up at 4 an went out to the sales. I got great great deals and I was really happy about it. I got a Cricket door buster and a Blu-ray player and a wii for all under $250. The part that was funniest to me was that I had no intention of going before I went to bed on Thanksgiving night. The cricket was of course for me and I didn't wrap it. In fact I didn't even feel like opening the box for months after Christmas. But the wii and all the games I bought to go with it were a great surprise for Michael and he didn't suspect a thing. He knew that I had gotten him something and we teased each other about it for all of December, but he didn't know what it was.<br />
<br />
He got me a vacuum that you can strap to your back and has an extra long extension chord. Don't get offended for me, its what I asked for. lol. I was so excited about it I got it out and used it that day. I was able to vacuum one whole floor and then up the stairs and into the living room without once having to unplug and move to another outlet. Isn't that awesome!?!?!<br />
<br />
Lina, Mike's sister, called us that morning to wish us a Meerry Christmas. It was so nice! She told me all about her Christmas and asked about ours. I really appreciated that. It was nice to talk to her.Rivkah Wilberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05818669696001750941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607949576609065648.post-14106501703649868762013-09-15T08:18:00.001-07:002013-09-15T08:18:21.274-07:00Funny Candy Stories<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

MiKaylah is 2 1/2 and she is getting into everything that she shouldn't. I really have to keep on my toes with her, but now that I am pregnant and feeling VERY sick, I fall short a lot. <br />
<br />
This picture shows her getting into a bag of candy that was given to her, but I usually don't let them eat it all at once when they get candy for any holiday. So she had gotten it and proceeded to eat all that candy that she could open. Then she fell asleep.<br />
<br />
The next day my dad woke up to tell us this story: My mom had gone to sleep before him. (He had stayed up late to finish a Christmas present he was making) So he didn't turn on the light before getting into bed. He woke up in the middle of the night because he had had a strange dream. He felt sticky and smelt mint. Reached up and touched his forehead to find a sticky mint candy stuck to his forehead. When he examined his bed closer he realized that someone (can you guess who?) had opened and licked multiple peppermint candies and decided she didn't like them and just spit them out right there where she was sitting...you guessed it, in HIS bed! Ha Ha!<br />
<br />
I'm lucky that my dad has a great sense of humor! <br />

For our Fershtut Christmas Party on December 22, 2012 we started off with reading Christmas stories. My brother, Ari, read the funniest book, which I really want a copy of, "Murray Saves Christmas." It is all about a east coast Jewish man who has to save Christmas. Considering that my dad is from the east and is Jewish, it was a delightful story for us to read! We found it to be hilarious!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCHKtm4eKjdY5HtofcanczDnwHrdWNsw8Bnvt5OMsg42RhlL-QriGJlk1XNuKjudal81ZQLhsjvUHLDTzC_b9zKkFd48qJK6-8p2EamPSRwk88ze0N32qdukXqnV6QHRj8SsgUjA-XMY/s1600/DSC_0166.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCHKtm4eKjdY5HtofcanczDnwHrdWNsw8Bnvt5OMsg42RhlL-QriGJlk1XNuKjudal81ZQLhsjvUHLDTzC_b9zKkFd48qJK6-8p2EamPSRwk88ze0N32qdukXqnV6QHRj8SsgUjA-XMY/s320/DSC_0166.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

Our gift to Asher, a PVC Marshmallow Gun. I think he liked it. :) We also gave Stratton and Ari one. Fortunately their parents wouldn't let them have a war right there in the living room. :) The gift included the mini holiday marshmallows. Fun!<br />

Tsadakah also received a doll. Hayley made it on behalf of one of her boys. She is an amazing seamstress! I thought that the doll was a modern Raggedy Anne, but I have realized since that she is more like a la la loopsy. Super cute and made with exactness!<br />

We saved the gifts for our parents to be the end. Then we went oldest to youngest. My sister, Simcah gave them a gift with baby clothes in it. Surprise! She was announcing that she was pregnant. It was a fun surprise...especially for me, ;) I asked her questions and made comments like, "I thought you weren't going to try until January. Now our kids wont be so close together"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then, because I am the youngest and I was planning it that way. (I'm the one who suggested oldest to youngest.) I gave my parents their gift: it was a picture that said, "The look on your face when you realize that there are 6 in this picture, PRICELESS." I wish that I had gotten a picture of their faces but I was really really sick at this point and trying hard to hide it. <br />
<br />
Everyone was thrilled and excited! It was a really fun surprise. My sister was of course extremely thrilled! The best surprise of all was that we are just a week apart in our due date! So, so fun! My brother admitted that he had suspected that I was from the time he walked in the door. Sadly, I don't blame him because when I don't feel good I don't try to suck it in at all, so I did have a pooch. So when my sister announced, he was slightly distracted and he turned to his wife and said, "See I told you Rivkah was pregnant." Hayley said, "No, that was Simcah who announced." Ari replied, "Rivkah is pregnant too. I can tell." So When I did announce, Hayley and Ari looked at each other and laughed.<br />
<br />

I already blogged about the ward Christmas party, but I forgot some of the pictures of it. This is a picture of m friend's family. She asked me to take it because she had forgotten her camera. I wanted to say how much I appreciate this friend. She is easy to talk to and helpful when needed. She took my kids for play dates many times and her kids are so well behaved. They are darling!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaflLjf5qwLmzV0o1xtDMQ_QGF0xLwg2DKHBfHvw8ohPqQcMMlQEjv2K-Ov6kIkcsWlcMDWDEvdOQN1NFMThtJXET7LgYii1J0eVf4uzswx6_jcScxz9jjZPcBmeP5gJQlvs32Xy6YAc/s1600/DSC_0122.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaflLjf5qwLmzV0o1xtDMQ_QGF0xLwg2DKHBfHvw8ohPqQcMMlQEjv2K-Ov6kIkcsWlcMDWDEvdOQN1NFMThtJXET7LgYii1J0eVf4uzswx6_jcScxz9jjZPcBmeP5gJQlvs32Xy6YAc/s320/DSC_0122.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

They had already seen Santa, but I wanted these pictures because they turned out better than the others. I chose only the best ones that showed their individual personality. Tsadakah is a little bit shy. She is always sweet and mild. The way that she is holding her hands even seems angelic to me. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8xDnjMHvtpB1qHOT2VY09K9xHp_FAPRMTG9VkOTLYt2CCDE3u_UJfqF5lXRLJ0QpcqZ7wO85RrYNyn8SATR4WcB8oRs7ixDHBwoMPv8ZlgOT31H4tdrTksFYtcwp4vy6SDh2S-znO3E/s1600/DSC_0139.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8xDnjMHvtpB1qHOT2VY09K9xHp_FAPRMTG9VkOTLYt2CCDE3u_UJfqF5lXRLJ0QpcqZ7wO85RrYNyn8SATR4WcB8oRs7ixDHBwoMPv8ZlgOT31H4tdrTksFYtcwp4vy6SDh2S-znO3E/s320/DSC_0139.JPG" width="214" /></a></div>
Eliannah is a firecracker. Spunky and fun! She jumped right up there with no reservations. She laughs loud and is full of energy. Enthusiasm should be her name.<br />

She also is detail oriented. She has an artistic eye and she is conscious of fashion and style. I imagine that some day she will be a cosmetologist. I imagine that in this picture she is thinking, "Oh, Santa! What soft gloves you have!"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivRTa4W6fY8J-n_uR8C7OiAFQt2927tBYEtenwK1ICeGOJ2KWJjicvKfQmtDTmJ7z8mT3B5HcHZhmtY_XGUgoQK3gCYTCjiZEEvg13bam9CfiIh5CUxtP0X5NbJady9kI9lbAsacK2lpw/s1600/DSC_0123.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivRTa4W6fY8J-n_uR8C7OiAFQt2927tBYEtenwK1ICeGOJ2KWJjicvKfQmtDTmJ7z8mT3B5HcHZhmtY_XGUgoQK3gCYTCjiZEEvg13bam9CfiIh5CUxtP0X5NbJady9kI9lbAsacK2lpw/s320/DSC_0123.JPG" width="214" /></a></div>

Now that I have joined the SPCA (Stansbury Park Community Association) I feel like I know better what is going on here in this small community and I'm the kind of person who wants to do as much as possible to do fun things with my kids. <br />
<br />
So on December 10 Santa came to visit The Clubhouse, and I took the girls. There were also booths of vendors selling crafts so I let each of the girls buy gifts for their sisters with their own money. It was so fun to see them struggle with wanting to buy for themselves but then choosing the better way and think of something for the other person.<br />
<br />
It wasn't too crowded so we had a good time and took our leisure. Everyone thought that they were just the cutest things ever, which they are! :)<br />

December can be one of the finest times of the year. I love the traditions and all the hub bub, but sometimes its the unexpected moments that melt your heart. I sincerely think memories are built more in the moments that are spontaneous rather than planned. Its like a candid shot versus a posed photograph.</div>

All my girls have been girlie. They have all insisted on wearing dresses daily, playing princesses and the like, but MiKaylah takes the cake. She does girlie things that the others overlooked. She wants to wear make up and do my hair. She gets out my high heels and wants to sunbathe at the pool instead of swim. </div>

So the other day I found her putting Christmas tree bulbs down her dress. She was so silly about it that I had to laugh. Tsadakah wanted to nab some of that attention so she did it too, but it was MiKaylah's idea. She was so proud of herself too. Quite funny, yet, I don't want them to grow up that fast!</div>

In December 2012, Tsadakah was selected to be Mary in the Nativity. As a mother I felt so honored and thrilled. It was up to me to come up with a costume and we used the doll Nativity that was given to us last year. <br />
<br />
She was so cute and mild about the whole thing. Everything a person emulating Mary should be. Tosh Bates was Joseph and he did a good job of that too. So glad these two cute kids understood the importance of reverencing their roles.<br />
<br />
After the Nativity was read from the scriptures they brought in the rest of the Primary kids while faux candles and they sang a song about Mary and Joseph and Away in A Manger. It was simple, beautiful, and spiritual. I loved it.<br />
<br />
Glad to teach Tsadakah and my girls about the most important person and majesty of His birth. That they may know where to look for their mercy and salvation.Rivkah Wilberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05818669696001750941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607949576609065648.post-31690780448288233112013-02-20T15:49:00.000-08:002013-02-20T15:49:28.648-08:00The Nutcracker<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Dance Center is the greatest dance studio!!! Every year they put on a Fabulous production of The Nutcracker. They have all the students in their studio perform and higher college/professionals to play the largest roles. It is perfect! It is Good and it is a shortened version to capture the attention of the little children and get them hooked on ballet at a young age. :) I lOVE it! And to make it better you get a huge discount if you go both nights so I bought the back to back night ticket and took each of my older two girls on a mommy-daughter-date. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7QSj6MRZ0H__M46kHaF2Ftl1jFt8qKT8S1fuqb9WxEkdo1T98dqoNbBmfReaNWgAzFeyfedcoDGXM2HyB6RWA-ATDAKSafPKnNeL_DT-i9RnxLP788g9XF_SYtpX3HDi1TjQOdHX5WM/s1600/DSC_0028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7QSj6MRZ0H__M46kHaF2Ftl1jFt8qKT8S1fuqb9WxEkdo1T98dqoNbBmfReaNWgAzFeyfedcoDGXM2HyB6RWA-ATDAKSafPKnNeL_DT-i9RnxLP788g9XF_SYtpX3HDi1TjQOdHX5WM/s320/DSC_0028.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The night that I went with Eliannah was magical. We dressed up and got excited. She chose to sit with Gabriella and her family. Fun. She had a hard time sitting through the whole thing, but She was simply ecstatic to be there. :) <br />

Tsadakah and I dressed up too. She knew what to expect because Eliannah had told her all about it. She watched the ballet completely. Loved it. And she wanted to be in ballet for a few days afterward. She is so cute!

I was more excited about Thanksgiving than I have been in a long time. I was going to be hosting for the first time and I was just super excited to be able to do it in my beautiful new house with my china that I got at our wedding. I wanted it to be a special event and I really felt that it was. :)</div>

I went to Pinterest and found some ideas to make it special and beautiful. I typed many quotes on Thanksgiving and taped them to each cup. It was much prettier on goblets but I didn't have enough for our whole group, so we did what we could. I also made these napkin holders and I am very proud of them. </div>

This year we tried more than once to get the perfect family picture. It really isn't easy to get everyone looking at the camera and smiling, with the right atmosphere and lighting. Whew! If you are a mom who has ever done a photo session you know what I am talking about. These pictures are great, but they have also been photo shopped. :)</div>

November 11, i told Tsadakah that if she did something (I can't remember what it is now) that I would make her whatever she wanted. I expected her to ask for a dessert, but she wanted a Macaroni & Cheese Pie. Well a promise is a promise. She was specific and said that she wanted it "striped" like the one Snow White makes. </div>

So I was wondering if any of you good experienced bloggers out there know ho to help me solve that problem. Anybody? Anybody?

Well elections came and went. I fouind myself compulsively eating the three days before and eating out of depression for a week afterward. The thing that makes me the saddest about Oboma winning the election is that I now feel out numbered. I feel scared to be honest. Scared of the unknown and my greatest fears coming alive. My imagination might be too strong and the only thing that I can rely on is my hope.</div>

I think that I said it most elequantly on facebook November 7th, "<span class="userContent">After the results. I am thinking that there is nothing more important than teaching my children right from wrong. Nothing else matters but teaching them to distinguish truth from error, right from wrong. God has always been with his righteous and He will continue still to abide with them. I can only feel sorry for the ones who do not. Join with me in teaching our children to live a virtuous life."</span></div>

My little girls need to understand the role that God has planned for them. That the only way to save America is to live righteously. That is where I draw my strength and my hope for the future from, because if I couldn't do that, than I would be a basket case who is afraid of the world and its end. My kids are the light of the future for me.</div>

Wednesday, we went to the edge of the lake and took some pictures. It was fun, and humbling. I still have so much to learn about in order to be a good photographer. But my subjects were beautiful despite my limited efforts.</div>

Thursday night Mike's mom and dad came to stay. It was nice to visit with them. The next morning George and I went through all of his Vietnam pictures. We spent precious hours talking about his memories and figuring out the people in the photos. Seriously it was great. I can't wait to make his book for him. :)<br />
<br />
Tsadakah's wonderful school held a powerful assembly honoring Veterans. George didn't like the attention. He said that he did it all for Tsadakah's sake. So sweet! This picture is from him coming in with the others. They played a patriotic song and I was crying right away! He had told me that when he came home the service men were not honored or recognized. In fact they changed in the airport to avoid being spit on or ridiculed. So it touched me so much to be part of the first people to ever recognize him with respect and appreciation. <br />

The assembly was beautiful and the music was inspirational. The children sang songs that I have never heard before even. Tsadakah sang "Your A Grand Old Flag." Can you see her in this picture? In the end they all sang a song that was beautiful and melodious. Tsadakah told me that she had cried during one of their practices. At the end they called each veterans name and gave a class made award. There was a verean who was recognized as a Prisoner Of War. There was a standing ovation for him. He humbly accepted that response and went around shaking people's hands. What a hero! What and honor that would have been to have had him shake my hand. Better than a celebrety.<br />

I kept MiKaylah entertained by taking her picture over and over again. She was pretty good for the most part except that she insisted on taking off her tights.<br />

One Saturday I had my biggest event of the year for my calling, Super Saturday. It really went so well. I was so happy with it. I had an amazing group of woman on my commitee and they came together to pull off one great event. They were there without complaint for the set up, the crafts and the clean up. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the crafts that we did, just a few. These were beautiful wall hangings that were all the craze! We had the most sign ups for this one. Jenn Bullock was super amazing and on top of everything for it.<br />

On Sunday, October 28th, our ward had the Primary Program. I was really excited about it because it was Eliannah's first year. Tsadakah did well and she read a scripture John 13:15. I didn't have her memorize it but I was just as proud of her for being able to read almost every word herself. Impressive girl. Eliannah memorized her part. She said, "I can invite the Spirit into my life by singing church songs." she said it loud and clear. I was very proud of her. I blew her a kiss. I love the kids that act naughty up there because it is funny. But when she was standing on her chair or puting her feet up on the stand I was a little embarassed. I love my little girls. MiKaylah fell asleep in my arms which was so nice that I could enjoy the program without having to fight her wanting to go up with her big sisters.</div>

First ward halloween party that has ever happened for (like I said, I am working on my organization and preparation skills :).</div>

It was a wonderful evening and my chili was one of the first to be gone! :) even though I didn't win the contest. :(<br />
<br />
For Halloween Mike stayed home to give out candy so that I could be the one to take the kids around. FUN! My two little ones were done after 2 cultasacs so I took them home to mike and went out with just Tsadakah. We had such a good time! I know that she felt like such a big girl. we would fill up her bucket, take it home to dump and then go out again. I really wanted to get to the end of the street so that I could see if the extremely well decorated houses gave out big candy bars. But it was just too far cause we kept going in all the circles. So at the very end I drove her over to them. All they gave out was tiny candy!! bummer. Well at least we know for next year. :)<br />
<br />
*Oh, and in the morning when Tsadakah woke up she said, "Mom you have always said that you wanted to have a baby on Halloween and it is too late for you to have one this Halloween but I will pray for you to have Malachi next Halloween." And then she really did. She has been praying for a little brother for years. lol May the faith of a child work.<br />
<br />
On Friday my friend Elizabeth got married. Her newe husband is great and we think the world of him. Mike was able to work a half day so that he could be there with me. I was so grateful for that because from the temple to their reception there was 3 accidents on the freeway. It would have done me in! He is so my hero! I also liked having him there. It was nice to catch up with my high school friends who I haven't seen in forever.<br />
<br />
Saturday we had Mike's sister over and I took their family pictures. It was fun. They stayed for dinner and Mike smoked a turkey. My favorite part was when she played Life with Tsadakah. I think that it is good for Aunts to bond with nieces.<br />
<br />

What a week of fun! We have really been able to enjoy my favorite holidays and all of its festivities! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For FHE on Monday night we carved pumpkins. Mike loves the carving part and he helped each of the girls do theirs. I think that it is so cute that he even cut out the little details that they asked for, like eye lashes on Eliannah's princess pumpkin. He is such a good dad. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPOAWQsoflErwmurpfu-IP_yddXBbxrcFFXAqNnVFiP-2lJWFejJEeZtYyqWOni2U-b0X9UOW3qIJ1Id57cAte3mqS_8ljoNIdCQzo_xK5mS6KOvcnx7JZe_-KVOvbKF1QKxNnmIAb5io/s1600/DSC_0610.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPOAWQsoflErwmurpfu-IP_yddXBbxrcFFXAqNnVFiP-2lJWFejJEeZtYyqWOni2U-b0X9UOW3qIJ1Id57cAte3mqS_8ljoNIdCQzo_xK5mS6KOvcnx7JZe_-KVOvbKF1QKxNnmIAb5io/s320/DSC_0610.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

I was all about the decorating. We did markets, paint, and melting crayons on them. All of which gave Mike anxiety. lol<br />

Eliannah's princess pumpkin. *She was a little obsessed with the painting. she mixed paint after paint until it was black and then she covered her pumpkin. lol<br />

On Wednesday we had play dates. Tsadakah played with her friend from school, Julianne, and Eliannah had Kyson over. Kyson is her "best" friend. When I was subbing in her Sunbeams class she kissed him. I was shocked! It was funny, but I wondered if it was the first time or if it had happened before. <br />
<br />
Thursday we had Dr. apt. Tsadakaah was seriously scared of the flu shot. She wouldn't do it. I promised her we would order pizza for dinner if she would. So I went ahead and ordered it so that it would be ready by the time we finished with the Dr. Well turns out that they did have the mists so she didn't have to have the shot AND she still got pizza! Lucky ducky.<br />
<br />
Friday, Tsadakah got out of school early and we went to the Goforths for a play date. Brittany was sweet and even went to the store and got tonz of Halloween craft ideas for the kids to do. Tsadakah of course loved every minute of that! :)<br />
<br />
When we got home it was time to run around like chickens with our heads cut off so that we could get ready for the school's trunk-or-treat. We took Braden from our car pool and he was fun. I told his mom that it was our practice for a boy...if we ever have one! lol<br />

This year Mike dressed up as a fireman. He is on the ERT team at work and he got this whole uniform for free! Awesome perk!! He loves his job and just got promoted to the MAP plant. They are getting it ready fro opening. So while he was there a little girl came over to him and gave him a hug saying, "Look, mommy, a firefighter! He's a hero!" So stinking cute! <br />

Then on Saturday we went to my parent's house for an awesome Halloween party. My brother and sisters were there. I just LOVE the dressing up and the fun activities. We had a caramel apple bar and bobbing for apples. My mom made amazing chili too. I planned a dancing game that took off and everyone loved it. We played it longer than I thought we would. :) We free style danced and then when the music stopped you had to add a dance step to the ones that danced before you and if you forgot someones step than you were out. <br />

Tsadakah was a pink fairy. She planned this costume herself and I think that it is perfect because it defines her right now. So into being All Girl (makes me so proud) and wanting to be just like her mommy (I was the blue fairy from Pinocchio.)<br />

Wednesday I went to Tsadakah's Show What You Know! Mike was able to come with me and I loved that because he was able to see first hand how wonderful the school is. He was equally impressed that the children all know both verses of the National Anthem. And once again, I cried! It is so beautiful! Emotional! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tsadakah performed a song about the Ice Age that the class learned and I had that songs chorus stuck in my head for 3 days after! But all I could remember was one small part! lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thursday I taught my last Fascinating Womanhood class. I loved every minute of doing that class and I bonded with the women who were there for me supporting me. I really am so happy for their happiness in the success stories that they have shared. I myself learned a TON! I am not perfect at it, but I will never stop trying. All my life I will admire <a href="http://fascinatingwomanhood.net/" target="_blank">Helen Andelin</a></div>

Friday my friend Joanna came to my yoga class and then stayed over for a play date. It was so fun, like old times. She helped me do my posters for Super Saturday and we were giggling like school girls about a whole lot of nonsense. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday was a special day! Tsadakah crawled in bed with me in the morning as I was reading my scriptures. We snuggled and talked. It was an especially good morning and I was extremely happy. MiKaylah came in and we had a tickle fight. :) Then Tsadakah reminded me that I had promised to make Breakfast cake for Breakfast. So all three of them helped me bake this cake. Tsadakah wanted the frosting to be orange for Halloween! Yep, she's my daughter! :) I love my girls and I believe that it is the small, unplanned moments that make life worth living. I used to want to be super mom to all the world, but now I just want to be the best mom in the eyes of my children.</div>

I did a lot of baking, finished my food challenge, put on Enrichment, cut hair, babysat for people in need, and had my mom over for a walk-a-thon at Tsadakah's school.<br />
<br />
My <a href="http://buildinggoodhabits.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">weight loss challenge</a> was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone! I didn't reach my goal, probably because it was reaching for the SUN, over expectations of what is realistic. ( I do that a lot) But in reaching for the sun I achieved the stars! I lost 6% of my body weight and I learned a ton about myself and my abilities of self control. I learned that I can eat out and still stay on my track and that I don't have to have a mentality of bigger is better. <br />
<br />
For enrichment we did a pie night. I did a demonstration on how to make a perfect pie crust. The Relief Society president did one on how to make a fresh, unbaked Peach Pie. We also had people bring pies of all varieties for ladies to sample in preparation for Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
Tsadakah's school did a walk-a-thon, which I loved! I know that 100% of the money raised goes exactly to the item that they said they were raising for. Tsadakah did amazing and raised $100 which is a lot for a 1st grader! The school got even more than what they were hoping for so I am so excited. It is neat to be able to see all the things that you helped to bring about. Unfortunately, they got rained out and had to reschedule even though my mom came all the way out to see her walk. I felt so sorry for her. But I am so glad to have a wonderful mother (and father) who go out of their way to support my children!<br />
<br />
On Saturday I was asked to help out at an Activity Days Super Saturday. They asked me to talk about the Word of Wisdom and demonstrate some exercise, like Yoga. I agreed and Mike took the kids to the zoo for a Daddy-Daughters date while I was there for 4 hours. I taught the girls how to look at food and think about it in terms of what is this food going to do inside my body. For example, a carbohydrate is going to turn into a sugar. Then I tought them about how to check their pulse, We also did some yoga, which I think was their favorite part. I'm glad that I did it. <br />
<br />
Sunday I subbed in Tsadakah's class. I taught about keeping the sabbath day holy. It was a fun lesson to teach and we actually went over. lol. I personally learned from it too! I liked being there with Tsadakah again.

My sister, Simcah, came to visit on Thursday to go to the Utes game. We hung out all morning and she helped me do some landscaping work on my front yard. She is full of great ideas too! She helped me with it all and I appreciate it so much! She also helped me decorate my mantle all Halloween! see the pretty jar with the branches sticking out? She helped me do that. :) On Friday we baked all day, making 2 different kinds of zucchini bread. Chocolate and carrot muffin, to be exact. She also got these pictures of the babies bathing.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB0DpNZdTcup3zLWU_my_ojFBVSrH2hckkleZti95LBfwi8uVyDuc0TLPKKzSkSg_GJl6TSyG4CSwwIbrvhS-3K3TwEuQmK0qarW1isuxH9PkYXh4gcxRTm4ITtTSdFKorbb8lMsLW4No/s1600/DSC_0404.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB0DpNZdTcup3zLWU_my_ojFBVSrH2hckkleZti95LBfwi8uVyDuc0TLPKKzSkSg_GJl6TSyG4CSwwIbrvhS-3K3TwEuQmK0qarW1isuxH9PkYXh4gcxRTm4ITtTSdFKorbb8lMsLW4No/s320/DSC_0404.JPG" width="320" /></a>Right now Tsadakah is into crafting. I told her that if she would get her homework done we would do one craft each day after school. So we have paper mached bottles miking them into skulls and we made these cute little ghosts out of dryer sheets. We also made some Halloween cards for her to give out to her friends. It has been fun, time consuming and...I am running out of ideas. :) I love how happy it makes her though.</div>

Also, see the Frankenstein in the top picture? Tsadakah said, "I can wait to see uncle Chris's scared face when he sees how scary your Frankenstein is, Mom." haha that made me laugh a lot.</div>

Friday Stefanie and family showed up and we all ate together. I made Chicken Pot Biscuits. Everyone loved them. We put the kids to bed and stayed up until all hours of the night laughing and telling funninesses. :)<br />
<br />
Saturday we had a big breakfast and then Simcah and family went home. We were sad to see them leave. <br />
<br />
We got ready for pictures while watching the first session. Then we took these fun pictures between sessions. I have a lot of photographer friends and they are all complaining about how busy they are right now with family shoots and edits. I am really glad that I am not a pro. lol. It takes the pressure off. <br />

After the men got home from priesthood session we went to Asylum 49. A haunted house here in Tooele. We all went last year and it scared the pants off all of us! we were really excited, but this year we felt that it wasn't as scary. :( We still had fun and made memories. Mike jumped out at me and scared me so bad I hit my elbow. And then another time I got scared was by the character of Jack the Ripper scraping on a wall as he walked slowly beside me. Then just as I was going into the next room he breathed down my neck. Eeeekkk!</div>

General Conference is on of my favorite...holidays? lol I do love it and I feel like every time it comes up the week before I am really needing a boost! I always feel spiritually fed by the talks and uplifted. My favorite talk was Jeffery R. Holland's talk. He knows how to make the scriptures come alive. They seem so real and you feel almost as if you were there yourself, looking into the eyes of your Savior! It was amazing and its message meant so much to me. </div>

Also, the news about the ages being changed for missionaries touched me more than I expected. I started crying. I am not a feminist at all. I think that a woman is most empowered when she is where God wants her to be, in the home. But every once in a while I am shocked when I feel emotional and proud of the influence womanhood has in society. I don't know why but Amelia Earhart makes me emotional and so did this. I know in my heart that this change was truly inspired. I love President Monson and I support him in everything that he declares. :)</div>

I had to go through my pictures the other day and back them up. I love looking at my pictures from forever ago, but it also makes me feel like I need to be a lot more organized. While I was sorting through them I found some pictures that I realized I had never blogged, but that I really can't do without them. :) <br />

These are the crowns that I made for Eliannah's birthday. They were in the party favors bags posted earlier, but I wanted these pictures of just them posted cause I was rather proud of the way that they turned out and that I made the idea and design 100% myself!<br />

This was Tsadakah on the day that I volunteered at the school for a Christmas party. I love that because it is a Charter school they are able to call it a Christmas party! May God preserve our rights and our religion for it is what has made us free! They simply frosted graham crackers to a milk carton! So easy! Way better than having to try to keep it up without it falling over. <br />

This picture makes me laugh. She is a funny little cutie. I believe that she thought this was a headband. <br />

This was last year close to Christmas. She just kept taking dogs off the shelves and playing them. She really wanted doggies! Oh she is so cute!<br />

Last year my dad had compiled some family names to take to the temple. It was pretty special to get to go with the name of someone you are related too. I try to imagine the people there in the room with me. Then when we were done we went to a quiet meeting room where they allowed us to watch a video of the people we had done the work for on a laptop. This silly little picture was us piling into my car while we were waiting for others to come cause it was cold outside! We had all the empty car seats piled up on top of each other. These are my parents, Marsha & Steve.<br />

I can't believe that I forgot to mention that we went to SevenPeaks and Lagoon (2X) this summer too! It has become a tradition to go to both of these each year with Mike's sisters, Debbie and Stefanie, and their families. It is really fun and we LOVE the extra help with our kiddos!<br />
<br />
SevenPeaks was first and it was so fun! We started in the lazy river and went around for like an hour. Then we started breaking into groups and going on some of the adult rides. When I was with Debbie I dared her to go backwards on the Boomerang, AND SHE DID IT! lol It was super exciting.<br />
After lunch about half of the group wanted to go home so they took the youngest ones with them and we were able to go on more adult rides. I did the Boomerang backwards too! It was so fun!! I recommend it to all. I spent time in the kiddie pool with my kids and also went on some rides that they could ride too. We went down the racing one literally about a dozen times and my kids couldn't get enough of it. They kept saying, "Again!" <br />
I was also FORCED to go on the orange slide that goes straight down, FACE FIRST! It was the scariest thing that I have even done! I can't believe that I did it and they had to seriously block the way back down cause I was so willing to walk the walk of shame!<br />
<br />
So Lagoon was equally as fun! Although I got totally sick that day! Let me start at the beginning. :)<br />
So that was a Friday and I was scheduled to teach our turn of Summer Reading Club (a totally awesome idea that Lisa had and organized.) <br />
<br />
I did the book, All Join In. It is a poetry book that is fun and will make you laugh out loud. We read the book and then organized activities, including: homemade instruments, Red Rover, Friendship Tag, and Chocolate Fudge Banana Cake! The cake turned out good, but you are posta freeze it so the bananas don't turn colors and so it wasn't thawed quick enough for the kids to eat it so they took it home with them.<br />
<br />
So as soon as it was done we left to go to Lagoon. We didn't even clean up! *Why am I sharing that? lol. But I was feeling so flu-ish and yucky. The thought of riding a ride or the smell of the rides made me so sick, so I dropped Mike off and went to visit my mom with MiKaylah. I stayed there and slept for a few hours and met up with the group at 5ish. I stayed in Kiddie Land for almost the entire time. I did go on Wicked (My absolute favorite) and Colossus but that was my limit! I was back to Kiddie Land after that, and it was fun to be there with my kids and see them having fun.<br />
<br />
We bounced back for the very next day and Devin & Becky and Max & Lina joined our group. It was a blast of a day! It rained for maybe a half hour, which kept people from coming that day and so it was pretty great! The lines were shorter and we were able to ride awesome rides over and over!. <br />
<br />
Eliannah's favorite ride was the Odyssey. She loved spraying people. She also asked over and over again to ride the whale ride (Whales were her favorite animal last year, before it became frogs) We kept telling her, "Later." So I made it a priority to go off with her just the two of us and she rode that ride over and over again. She HAD to ride in the #4 whale because she is 4! :) She makes me smile!<br />
<br />
Tsadakah desperately wanted to ride the Wicked and we put her biggest shoes on her and did her hair big, but they still wouldn't let her on the ride. :( She was pretty disappointed, but she handled it well. Jaxton, who is tall enough didn't have the desire to go on the big rides so the two of them were inseparable! I am glad that he wanted to stay with her cause I was worried that he would be riding the big ones. She did get to go on the White Roller Coaster, which is her favorite..."until she is old enough to go on the Wicked." She is so BRAVE!<br />
<br />
All in all it was a memorable weekend and we had so much fun! We also loved the new ride, can't remember what its called, but it really feels like you are flying!! FUN.<br />

She was so darn excited to go. I went and did her hair and then while I was talking to Mike she went into the garage and put her helmet on like a backpack. lol She still had an hour before time to leave. <br />

her favorite show is Dora. Her favorite color is purple. She likes to and is good at singing songs, writing and "being beautiful." When she grows up she wants to be a Princess Mermaid. Her favorite thing to do at school is write her name. Her favorite toy is her tiny Ariel.Rivkah Wilberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05818669696001750941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607949576609065648.post-52891839592113027462012-10-14T19:06:00.001-07:002012-10-14T19:06:49.630-07:00The Winds of Change<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been doing a lot this summer and early fall. I feel busy all the time. I'm not sure that all that I have heaped upon myself i can handle. I really don't mean this to be a sob story, cry for help, or pity me, I'm just trying to sort out my Good, Better, and Bests. </div>

My calling at church is Enrichment leader. In a nutshell, I plan get together, a.k.a, parties, which can uplift and strengthen women. I love my calling and I feel that I have it for the right reasons. In September we did a Secret Sister event, where everyone was expected to do 3 secret acts of kindness for their sister. I really loved the result! It was so nice to see inactive sisters there participating. We all got together and had a bonding night. It was so fun to get to know each of God's daughters in this ward better. Now I am constantly working on the Super Saturday, which is a big project and the women I have chosen to work with are fabulous! They have been there for me 100%. They have helped me and done everything I asked. I love it. </div>

I have also started teaching Yoga classes MWF at our church. I love doing it because I feel better myself, I help others get healthier, and I exercise balance in my own life and meditation, which I think helps me mentally so I don't lose my temper as much. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQgQLi1ln80biUqgenSlfrV2OGAXQNhIGEATJtWFe6Y9PAByYxl-ikFO_JXJ8EP_F1i-ggHRNQOBaexXDFc34mdXJQXNTSveZraKy55rvu0WyITJrjyYSAUQD_-N_TzjKPVJ2cD552KA/s1600/DSC_0375.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQgQLi1ln80biUqgenSlfrV2OGAXQNhIGEATJtWFe6Y9PAByYxl-ikFO_JXJ8EP_F1i-ggHRNQOBaexXDFc34mdXJQXNTSveZraKy55rvu0WyITJrjyYSAUQD_-N_TzjKPVJ2cD552KA/s320/DSC_0375.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Fascinating Womanhood classes. I started reading this book when I was 15 and it has meant so much to me over the years. I decided to teach a study group and I had 8 women sign up. I was so impressed and grateful for the support I had. They have all expressed their appreciation for the book and have had great success stories of strengthening their marriages. I love sharing what I love!<br />
<br />
<br />
I started a health and weight loss challenge. I set my goals really high. I shot for the stars hoping to lose 2lbs per week. I worked really hard and I have learned so much about myself and what kind of self control I have. It has really inspired me and I want to stay consistent with the things that I have learned. <a href="http://buildinggoodhabits.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">You could do it too!</a> I lost a total of 8.5lbs in 8 weeks! so excited about that! I had to work really hard at it and some days it seemed like all I could think about. But that we really just me heaping it on top of myself.<br />
<br />
<br />
And the SPCA. I love doing this and so far it hasn't been too much work, but there are some things that I have dropped the ball on and I feel bad about that. I feel great to be a part of something to do with the community, and planning parties with someone Else's money, what could be better? I love my role there and things so far have gone smoothly. <br />

I am feeling a change in my stage. Not so young and stuck at home to napping schedules. My kids are getting older and more capable. So is all of this change in stages of life, or is it me taking on more than I can handle? I don't want to neglect the basic things, like my family! Which I have felt I have done these last 2 weeks. So how do I balance it all? I want to feel the peace and harmony in my life that I feel when I look at these pictures.
