OREGONian

Despite the fact Cambri came to be in Utah and that she bleeds "Blue", I must say she is a TRUE Oregonian.

The rain does not bother her one bit.

This week she is participating in a soccer camp that meets everyday, for 45 minutes in the afternoon. Upon our arrival and the start of her class, the skies opened and "the rain, rain, rain, came down, down, down". All of the parents who were there to watch took cover, while the kiddos continued on with their soccer drills.

The rain did not phase Cambri.

Needless to say after the 45 minutes was up, the rain stopped and I was left with one wet (but happy) little girl.

She had the time of her life playing in the rain.

I suppose we can toughen up and stick around here for at least another year.

The Living Scriptures

Every night before we put the girls to bed we sit down as a family to read from the Book of Mormon. As of lately, Cambri has really been applying what she learns to her everyday living. Here are two examples:
1. To set the stage, I was changing Kaitlyn's diaper while Cambri and Ella were "playing" in their bedroom. Ella began crying so I called the girls in to see what was going on.

Me: "What happened girls? Why is Ella crying?"
Ella: "Cambee hit me."
Cambri: "No, no, no. I didn't hit her. I whipped her because she was a Lamanite"
Me: "Ella is not a Lamanite. She is your sister. Please don't do that again."

*NOTE: Cambri did not really "whip" Ella.

2. Cambri was sitting on the couch looking at books while Ella was running back and forth between the couch and the hallway, being noisy. Eventually Cambri was getting bothered and asked Ella to stop. Ella continued.

Cambri: "No Ella, stop! Go and sin no more"

Most nights when we sit to read we do not have everyone's full attention so I was happy to know Cambri is catching on. She may not have it down pat but she is indeed learning and finding ways to use that knowledge everyday.
