Beehives, Visitors and a New Blog!

Last week I made these super cute beehive topped cupcakes for a back to school pep rally. I think they turned out SOOOO cute and they were way easy!

I just made yellow cake cupcakes and then made yellow jello frosting (1 package instant pudding mixed with 1-1/2 cups milk and then a container of cool whip). I took my frosting applicator and skipped the tip. I squirted some out until it made a big circle then made two smaller circles on top of that.

So then on Friday night after games with the Grigg's (well Saturday morning at 3 a.m.) we had three visitors arrive! My mom and dad and sister (Barb) came. Saturday I took Barb on a tour of the town.

Then we went to see The Help with mom. Yes, I've paid twice to see this movie. It is that good.

Yesterday morning I took Barb to the bus station in Yakima (it was a quick but good visit) and then went to church.

Today I did the same tour with mom and dad.

Tonight we got home and had homemade chicken noodle soup and rolls and then a fun family home evening.

Also in recent Iverson news: I have started a second blog. I know, I hardly update this one, but I did it anyway. It's mainly for my handouts and things I use for YW so I can reuse and others can steal my ideas. Here's the link: http://juliannashelps.blogspot.com/

The Reason for it all

We...solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.

All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

...

The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.

...

Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.
