The power of the CTR ring


I recently gave Rylan a CTR ring (for those of you who don't know, CTR is a acronym of the phrase "Choose The Right" that is popular in our church). Rylan was so excited! He has been learning about the phrase, "Choose the Right" for a while now at church in his class. He has been SO good, and he tells me that it is because of this ring. I was putting him to bed last night and he said, "Mommy, I haven't gotten in trouble for a long time! I have been choosing the right, with my ring!" Hey I am not going to break it to him that it wasn't the ring choosing the right it was him...I am loving my obediant little guy for the moment. All I have to say if he is the least bit resistant to obey is..."CTR" and he does what he is supposed to! YES!! I wonder how long this is going to last?

It won't last too long.
I think it lasted less than a month with Alli.
Then she wanted to be a 'peacemaker'. All I would have to say is "alli... are you being a peacemaker?" and that would do the same as CTR.
Just a heads up.

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
