Rock the AIMS!

Luke and Ashley take the AIMS test next week. Luke came home wanting to show me this "pump up" video his teacher has been showing their class everyday. I got a kick out of it - haven't said the word scantron since my last test in college. So this one's dedicated to my teacher friends and parents of AIMS takers - show your kids! :)

Enjoy

Cheryl said...: great! One of my kids was telling me something about this, but I didn't know what she was talking about so I didn't really pay attention. Funny!

BTW...I'm in the same ward as your sister now! Maybe I'll actually cross paths with you again sometime!; April 18, 2012 at 4:52 PM

Mom's Favorite Quotes

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make....I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."
