I'm loving it. There are so many great ideas that I would like to implement for our family. I've had the audiobook since this summer, but really started to delve back into it after tithing settlement last month. Every year when we have tithing settlement I feel like a failure as a parent. Joseph and I have always been full tithe payers and I guess we've always depended on that example for our children to gain testimonies of this principle, but every year I feel a nudging that we need to do better with this. Our oldest willingly pays tithing, but has been paying it when tithing settlement comes around and then ends up paying tithing on money that she's probably had for a couple of years and already paid tithing on. The others have paid tithing, some willing, some not so much. This year I had a strong feeling that we needed to do something. For many different reasons I've decided that our kids need to be more part of our "family economy." I vaguely remembered Richard and Linda having a chapter about that in their audiobook about this and just a few months ago I read a book called, <span class="st">The <i>Parenting Breakthrough</i>: A Real-Life Plan to Teach Your Kids to Work, Save Money, and Be Truly Independent by Merillee Boyack. I loved all of the ideas and had tried successfully and unsuccessfully to implement some of them into our family. When we started the Parenting Breakthrough ideas we were doing pretty well for a while, my girls were learning to do their own laundry and helping more, but then life got busy and we fell off the bandwagon. I need to revisit that book and commit to do better.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">I've decided that my New Year's Resolution is going to be implementing a "Money System" into our family. We've started and I know there are going to be wrinkles that we'll have to iron out as time goes on, but I figure it's better to start and then tweak things where we need to. We aren't doing things exactly the same way as the Eyre's suggest, we're adapting it to work a little better for our family, but I like the general ideas and principles they talk about. Here are some of the ideas from the part of their book on establishing a family economy. These are random notes that I've typed into my iPhone while listening, so I'm hoping they'll make sense to me if I refer to them later. </span><br />
<span class="st">*Make a list of things that need to be done in order to run you household, put value in a dollar amount on those things that need to be done</span><br />
<span class="st">* pay attention to how much you are spending on things your child wants each month - have that be the amount you pay them - then expect them to pay for things they want, whether it be to go out with friends or to buy clothing, toys, games, books, etc. They probably won't care about buying underwear and socks, so you should still plan on buying the things like this that they "need" as well as food, shelter, transportation. </span><br />
<span class="st">*Explain to the child that there is certain money that comes into the household and that things need to be done to keep a household running, you feel they are old enough to be part of the family economy. They suggest 8, we are trying to do it on a simpler level with Aaron (6 1/2) and Isaac (4). It's not going as well as it is with the girls, so I can see their point, but we are still going to try to include them. </span><br />
<span class="st">*Have the requirement for them to do what is required to get ready for school, homework, music practice, scriptures and prayer, homework, cleaning up a zone in the house, bedtime prep, to bed on time...just a few examples. When I first read through this I thought, "These are things they should be doing anyway, why would I pay them?" I reconciled with this thought. These ARE things that are expected of them, but we are trying to teach them how an economy works and to help them feel ownership over their lives. We also plan to be very strict. Right now we have about 20 boxes for the week they have to check off. Our plan is to give them 100% of our agreed upon amount IF they get 100% in doing all that is required. If they miss one mark, they will get 50% and if they miss more than 1, they get nothing. We are allowing them to make-up two of the piano days, since their teacher only requires them to practice 5 days a week. They get a small amount of extra money each day they do their practicing in the a.m. We've always expected them to practice in the early a.m. because it likely doesn't happen if we wait. We always wake them to practice early in the a.m. because that is when we expect them to practice, but if they lally gag and don't get to the bench in time they will forfeit the opportunity to get that extra amount. So far they have done awesome and that one who takes her sweet old time getting to the bench is the first one there in the morning. I would even go as far as saying she is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Makes me want to kiss her face and do a happy dance, which I think I have. :) </span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">Right now we are doing alot of reminding. They suggest not doing so much of the reminding, but I hope to remind (nag) them for the first few weeks in hopes that they can taste the fruits of success and be motivated to keep going. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">I think it's going to be really hard to avoid bailing them out. It gets annoying listening to my kids complain when they don't get their way, but I really want them to learn now while the stakes are small. I really want this system to work and I know that if I let natural consequences fall into place, we will have more success. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">Tomorrow is our first pay-day. I have my "bank" (a SentrySafe money box). I have plenty of small bills and coins because one other thing I didn't mention was that we plan to teach them the 10-20-70 rule. 10% tithing, 20% savings and 70% spend freely or save freely, really whatever they want to do, but we will have the expectation that they pay for the things they desire. The Eyre's recommend doing "checkbooks" and having them write a check to the bank when they want to get money out, but we are going to give them the cash. We feel like exchanging the tangible will work better for them right now. I'm still trying to figure out how we will teach interest and compound interest. I'm still formulating how I want to do that. I'm also toying with the idea of letting them make-up two boxes, by doing those jobs (even though it's past the day) and then memorizing an article of faith for each box they miss. </span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">One of the great things is that because we have family prayer and scripture study as part of the chart, they are now fully invested and have taken ownership in making sure that it happens. Before, we had certain children who would always find an excuse to leave the table, or remember something they really needed to do. I know, it sounds bad when you say it, but I figure if we can just make that VERY important thing happen, regardless of how, the Spirit will touch them and it will benefit them for good. In a perfect world, we would all be motivated intrinsically, but something extrinsic rewards are just what our mortal world needs. Hopefully we'll move towards the intrinsic. </span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">Other things I've really loved from their book that have to do with families. </span><br />
<span class="st">*Write our family traditions in a special book</span><br />
<span class="st">*come up with some birthday traditions specific to each child</span><br />
<span class="st">*have some smaller everyday traditions - dinner time games, happy/sad, etc.</span><br />
<span class="st">*weekly family meetings</span><br />
<span class="st">*mission statement - a few words that describe a vision for our family, have each child come up with a sentence or two that describes what we are about as a family- simplify and talk about these things to come up with the statement summed up of the contributions</span><br />
<span class="st">*have family laws and consequences - peace (repentance bench) - Respect (let's start over) - Ask (if we don't know where you are, you can't go next time) - order (clean your room before you go anywhere) - obedience (please is a magic word we will use and that means you "have" to do what we are asking)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">I'm sure I will be able to add to this list jumbled old list, but this is my work in progress.....now, off to make sure tomorrow's payday will be a success. </span><br />

We see so many deer in our neighborhood. The other day, we counted a total of 8 in our backyard. I love it! It makes me feel like I live in the mountains, but I know that come summertime everyone will be complaining about the deer eating from their gardens. <br />

</div>
Grandma and Grandpa planned a Christmas celebration on the Sunday before Christmas. We met and ate dinner and dessert, decorated sugar cookies, played pictionary, acted out the nativity story, had a talent program and then called it a night. It was a fun crazy night. Getting a picture with all of the kids was nearly impossible. They have so much fun when they get with their cousins. I had to include serveral outtakes. We also had a Christmas celebration with Joseph's family the night before, but unfortunately I don't think we have any photos of it. <br />

We celebrated Abby's birthday a day early because Brynn had a ballet showcase we invited the grandparents too. We decided to save them another trip during this busy time of year. Abby requested a Strawberry Cheesecake. She LOVES to be celebrated and we love celebrating her. <br />

We bundled up to weather the cold and enjoyed touring all of the visitor's centers in the late afternoon and then walked out just as the lights were turning on. We plan it that way every year and it's our little secret....shhhhh! We beat the crowds and still get to enjoy the lights and the atmosphere that fills Temple Square at Christmas-time. Like always, we had a struggle getting a picture with Aaron. I took a minute and to talk with him about what it might be like when he is older and has children of his own, who want to see what he looked like as a child, and how sad that there will be very few pictures of him because he refuses to cooperate. He didn't like that idea one bit, and decided to be a little more cooperative the rest of the evening. <br />

<tr align="left"><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes the rew<span style="font-size: small;">ards of being a parent are few and far between. Somedays can be downright hard, but man<span style="font-size: small;">, <span style="font-size: small;">when the rewards come, they are worth gold. On<span style="font-size: small;">e day in early December I was feeling very w<span style="font-size: small;">itchy. My kids were acting up and I was at my wits end trying to prepare with the busy-nes<span style="font-size: small;">s that happen<span style="font-size: small;">s around Christmas<span style="font-size: small;">-time. I had volunte<span style="font-size: small;">ered to vi<span style="font-size: small;">sit Aaron's classro<span style="font-size: small;">om to talk about some of our Christmas traditions. I did the presentation and shared some homemade English Scones and Devonsh<span style="font-size: small;">ire <span style="font-size: small;">Cream with his class and then packed up my t<span style="font-size: small;">hings and left. As I was walking do<span style="font-size: small;">wn the hall, Aaron burst out of the c<span style="font-size: small;">lassroom and as<span style="font-size: small;">ked what <span style="font-size: small;">the cream was called. I told him, and he <span style="font-size: small;">headed back into the class<span style="font-size: small;">room<span style="font-size: small;">. A few seconds later he burst out again and with a smirk on his face s<span style="font-size: small;">aid, "What is<span style="font-size: small;"> it called again?" I told his again and <span style="font-size: small;">he entered the c<span style="font-size: small;">lassroom again. He came out a th<span style="font-size: small;">ird time and came running down<span style="font-size: small;"> the hallway to give Isaac and me a hug a<span style="font-size: small;">nd to tell us good-bye. This moment made all of the sourness in my h<span style="font-size: small;">eart disapp<span style="font-size: small;">ear. It's amazing how much simple things can have such<span style="font-size: small;"> a powerful<span style="font-size: small;"> affect on our emotions. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></td></tr>

Its been perfect for her because they spend a little time on each thing each week and it keeps her busy mind engaged. In December they had a cute Christmas performance. She had lots of fun performing. Abby loves to be on stage and the thing she was most looking forward to was having a microphone around her ear taped to her cheek. She thought that was pretty cool. She did a wonderful job and it was lots of fun to support her. Afterward we went with Grandma Rowene and Grandpa Billy to Blue Lemon to celebrate with some yummy dinner. <br />

He relished in it. We knew he needed a bike, but according to him, he really needed a new sweet sword. He received both. He ran around the house humming the theme to Pirates of the Caribbean as he showed off his sweet fencing skills. Earlier in the week we celebrated with Vest cousins where he received a new scooter. He said that night, "This is the best birfday EVER!" <br />
<br />
On his birthday I took him along with Stephen and a little friend from the ward to Thanksgiving Point Museum of Ancient Life (aka the Dinosaur Museum in our house). We spent the morning there and then enjoyed lunch at the deli. Listening to the little boys talk was so much fun. I love the conversations they have. <br />
<br />
When we got home, the boys played with the toys his friends gave him and his primary teacher stopped by with a birthday gift and a cookie that was bigger than Isaac's head. He was so genuinely happy that his teacher remembered his special day and he thought it was out of this world that she made him a giant cookie. What a fun day. We are so happy for the laughter, light and happiness that Isaac brings into our lives every day. <br />

I love that place. We've stayed at the Montage in Laguna Beach, but this was our first time to stay at the one in Deer Valley. We loved it! We got there late, but we headed for the outdoor hot tub and pools right when we got there. The next morning we had breakfast with Curt and Kim and then we swam at the indoor pool, and checked out the rest of the hotel. It even has an indoor bowling alley. We would love to bring the kids here someday, but we better start saving now, it comes at a steep price. <br />

We did do a birthday party, it was BIG, but it was also very simple. Pizza, a neighborhood scavenger hunt, cake and ice cream, presents and the candy bar game. It was a hit! <br />

My children skipping to church together. I immediately had to turn around and take a picture of their cuteness. It's not every minute that everyone is happy and getting along, so I treasure the times when they are. <br />

</div>
Joe's work fiasco came to somewhat of an end (relatively speaking) around the same time Joseph's Grandma Christian passed away. We all really wanted to spend some time together since we hadn't spent much time all together the previous couple of months. We also wanted to pay tribute to a woman who had been so kind to us during our time living in the Northwest. We were blessed by so many yummy meals and caring phone calls during our time there. The trip turned out to be exactly what our family needed to get reacquainted and reconnect after a rocky couple of months. <br />
<br />
The funeral was a great tribute to Grandma and a celebration of the devoted life she lived. It was really nice for us to connect with all of the family members who took such great care of us while we lived near them during law school.<br />
<br />
We stayed at a great place with a pool, so when we weren't with family, we were able to spend time playing with our kids. We loved every minute of it. <br />

Since giving birth to Isaac, Joseph and I have always been open to more children, but just haven't felt right about having another one join our family at any particular moment in time. We've been a little back and forth about things. Joseph came to me in August and told me that he was becoming more open to the idea and had an impression that there might be another little girl. (I kind of laughed, I've always been amused when someone has an impression of a particular gender. I wonder if there are any studies on statistics of the likelihood you will have the gender that was impressed upon your mind.) I wasn't as open right at that moment because there were some really difficult things happening at work.<br />
<br />
Fast forward a month and I had a feeling that I might be expecting. We hadn't been really "trying" (if that phrase can really hold any water, haha), but our timing had been a little off and after taking about 15 pregnancy tests for about a week, I decided that all of the positives and faint positives must be true. I calculated my due date and I was due in the beginning or middle of June. About a week before Joseph was scheduled to do his Ironman Triathlon. Perfect timing...NOT! :)<br />
<br />
Joe was in the thick of things with work and so when the thought entered my mind that I might be, I didn't even tell him. It wasn't until about a 7-10 days after my missed period that I finally had him go to the store to buy yet another test, this time a digital one. Again, it was positive. It took some time to wrap our head around it. At one point, while we were dealing with the initial shock, well I should say while Joseph was dealing with it, because my initial shock kind of wore off with every test that I took. I had to give him time to absorb the shock. I remember he sat on the floor of our bedroom, shaking his head, wondering how it was possible and how we were going to take it on. (Things were really bad a work!) I think he even said something like, "Okay, we can do this, it's not like this is a teenage pregnancy." It was pretty funny. It took a few days, but then we got pretty excited. Our kids had been begging for a new sibling, we knew they would be so excited with our news. I remember telling my sister Emily. She was thrilled! This would mean we would have babies just a few months apart. She had always wanted to be pregnant together. This was probably our only chance. <br />
<br />
A couple of weeks after this, I started to notice some spotting and at first just dismissed it as implantation bleeding, but then as the days progressed it got heavier. One night I felt a dull pain in my abdomen and lower back, similar to the feeling I felt the night before I went into labor with Isaac. Symptoms of the pregnancy that I had felt were disappearing. I called Emily and started to cry telling her what I thought was happening. I hadn't told my parents about the pregnancy yet, but I called my mom and in the same sentence had to tell her about the surprise pregnancy and what I thought was a miscarriage. I felt so sad inside that night. With the symptoms disappearing and the pain that ensued, I felt so empty. I had this unexpected person that I had been dreaming about for the past weeks and really had to train my mind to accept this new being. I thought of myself as a mom of five. Then in an instant, just as unexpectedly as it came, it was no longer part of our life. I spent the next couple of days on the couch as the miscarriage became complete. I called my doctor but told them I didn't want to come in because I was certain it was a miscarriage. I think the hardest part was when the doctor asked me to take another pregnancy test at home. When the digital test read "not pregnant" it seemed so harsh and blunt. "The night before I was expecting, and now just like that, I'm not." I remember feeling so sad and sobbed as I got into the shower that morning. I felt really awful for a few days and down for a couple of weeks, both physically and emotionally, but then everything just felt okay. It happened over Fall Break and I felt like a terrible mom because I wasn't up to taking my kids to do anything fun, but my mom came and saved the day and took them for a few days while I recovered. I told the girls so they understood that I wasn't just sitting on the couch, being a boring mom for no reason. Brynn cried and Abby wailed and sobbed. They took it really hard. Abby was a little mad at Heavenly Father for allowing it to happen and asked over and over "Why?" It was hard. A few weeks after I had to go in for more blood work and I was amazed at how much better I felt in such a short amount of time.<br />
<br />
Right after the miscarriage happened I didn't know what to do with my feelings. There was a great void and at first, I felt that we would surely have a fifth child, it was just a matter of time. Now that the physical and emotional wounds feel more healed, we are open to the idea again, but we aren't feeling a sense of urgency about the matter. So we will see. Maybe there will be a fifth and maybe there won't, but all will be well. We'll seek for feelings of peace either way.

I really wished I could have joined her, but it was in the middle of Joseph's work mess, so there was no way he could take over my responsibilities. We missed her so much, but she had lots of fun.<br />
