We got Logan off on his mission this week, and it was so great getting just the 6 of us together one last time. Watching everyone grow up is so weird/exciting/memorable/sudden/exhausting/fun/emotional/crazy/epic! I am so lucky to have the family that I do, and I am so lucky that we all love each other... most days at least :)
This post I felt would be most appropriate to describe in primary songs... sing along!
"Here we are together, together, together, Oh, here we are together in our family. There's Landon and Lacey and Logan and Leah, Oh here we are together this bright sunny day!"
"I wiggle my fingers, I wiggle my toes...
...I wiggle my shoulders...
...I wiggle my nose...
...now, now more wiggles are left in me, so I will be still, as still as can be."
"I love to see the temple, I'll go inside someday, I'll cov'nant with my Father, I'll promise to obey. For the temple is a holy place where we are sealed together. As a child of God, I've learned this truth: a family is forever!"
"I have a family tree with branches by the dozen, I have grandpas I have grandmas I have uncles aunts and cousins...
...when it's reunion time, no matter what the weather...
...It is such a happy day, when the family gets together!"
"It is fun to have a friend who will play with you. It is fun to have a friend who can stay with you. It is fun to make a friend for your whole life through. But to have a friend...
...you must be a friend too!"
"Though a boy I may appear, yet a man I soon will be. If I prepare and live clean in every thought, word, and deed, I will be worthy to hold the sacred priesthood of God...
...So I now prepare myself, I will serve my fellow men. Being armed with the truth, with the scriptures my guide, I'll go forward a young man prepared...
...I'll go forward a young man prepared!"
"Home is where the heart is and warmth and love abound, Home is where warm circling arms go all the way around!"
"I love mother she loves me, we love daddy yes sirree, he loves us and so you see, we are a happy family!"
"Mother I love you, mother I do, Father in heaven has sent me to you, when I am near you, I love to hear you, singing so softly that you love me too. Mother I love you, I love you, I do."
"My daddy is my fav'rite pal, and I help him every day. It's plain to see I want to be, like him in every way. He teaches me that honesty is best in all I do. I'm very glad that he's my dad, And i know he loves me to."
"I hope they call me on a mission, when I have grown a foot or two. I hope by then I will be ready, to teach and preach and work as missionaries do."
"Called to serve him heavn'ly king of glory, chosen e'er to witness for his name, far and wide we tell the father's story, far and wide his love proclaim. Onward ever onward, as we glory in his name, onward ever onward, as we glory in his name, forward pressing forward, as a triumph song we sing, God our strength will be, press forward ever Called to serve our King."
"If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it then your face will surely show it if you're happy and you know it clap your hands!" :)
"I have a family here on earth, they are so good to me. I want to share my life with them through all eternity. Families can be together forever, through heav'nly Father's plan. I always want to be with my own family, and the Lord has shown me how I can. The Lord has shown me how I can."
