This commercial left Jon and I shaking our heads. We had to rewind it so we could watch it again.
Do people really have this much trouble cracking eggs?? I personally have never made a mess that big when I am cracking eggs. Now cracking hard boiled eggs would be nice. I just think it is hilarious, that they think people make that big of a mess cracking eggs. Maybe I'm wrong.

Kate at 9 Months
I Seroiusly can't believe how fast she is growing. I don't think that Brett grew this fast. She is still have problems sleeping and she still has that rash all over her body. I keep praying that she will get better. The Doctors and specialists still has no clue.
The things that she has accomplished this month:
*Stood for 30 seconds
*Letting go of the
*Standing for 1 minute, sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less.
We sure love our little Kate!!

Where Have The Wierschkes Been?
At home. Sad, if I was going to take a break, I should have at least gone out of town right? March was just a super crazy month for us. Between play dates, callings, helping with relief society things, and sickness, I was swamped all month.
I was asked to teach Relief Society at the end of the month and they gave me a month to prepare for it. I literally started planning and reading the very night I was asked to teach. It was a whole month of stress and worry. I was asked to teach lesson number 6 on the fall of Adam and Eve. It was such a hard topic, why didn't I get missionary work or something? I thought that the lesson was horrible, but a lot of other people loved it. I think it was/is slightly controversial. Anyway, I am going to be posting my lesson outline and other quotes that I was not able to share during my lesson on the blog.
I was also asked to planned the lunch for the Relief Society Temple Trip. Not by any means stressful, but it took time. I not sooner finished my RS lesson and had to switch into food mode. More on that later too.
On the 14th I was called to be the new Cub Scout Den Leader. I am so excited, I miss scouting. It will take up tuesday nights, but I really think it is going to be super fun. Brett tells me every tuesday night, "Mama, I need to go to cub scouts." or "Mama, I need to get dressed(in a cub scout uniform) and go with you."
Play dates are always super fun. I love every minute of them and so does Brett.
It has been a super crazy month, so bare with me as I try to update the blog. We have exciting, fun and spiritual things coming.

Floating the Huron River
We recently had an opportunity to go float down the Huron River, compliments on the college of Engineering. Jon and I decided to take Brett with us. That little boy had a blast, and I can't say that I hated the trip either. Here are a few picture of our trip!! We are totally going to do this again!

I Couldn't Help Myself
I was painting my nails the other day and I just couldn't help myself.
Is it wrong to paint your 9 month old's toe nails??

Getting Dressed
Brett has been trying to master putting his clothes on. He has made progress and showed some interest in getting dressed himself. He mastered putting his shoes on in one afternoon. Shirts are a piece of cake, but pants some how are proving to be a little more difficult.
He can get them on. We just have to work on getting his zipper(zwipper) in the front. Still it make for some fun pictures.

Smooth Stones
Over last summer, every place that we went it seemed like Brett collected rocks. At first I didn't know what to do with all of these rocks. I was definitely not very happy about keeping a bunch of rocks. Brett didn't want to get rid of any of his rocks, what was I to do, They all came with us. As I looked at the rocks, I noticed something. They were all smooth, like silky smooth. Then I got to thinking, and I remembered this EFY song.
four years old at his front door
watches while his daddy drives away
he knows that something's wrong
when he sees the tears on momma's face
and his whole life will change
teenage boy just down the road
suffering from choices in his life
he's turning to the lord
changing, getting stronger with time
but never knew it was so hard
like stones in the river
we are tossed and turned
when the current moves so strong
but stones in living waters over time
are shaped until the edges are gone
polished and smooth, that's what we will be
if we put ourselves in god's hands
each day of our lives is a gift from the giver
to smooth all the edges
like stones in the river
it's been three weeks since the last card of sympathy arrived
her love of thirty years is gone
she wonders how she will survive on her own
standing on the curb one winter night
they watch their house burn to the ground
family pictures, every keepsake
even her wedding gown
are they always gone?
like stones in the river
we are tossed and turned
when the current moves so strong
but stones in living waters over time
are shaped until the edges are gone
polished and smooth, that's what we will be
if we put ourselves in god's hands
each day of our lives is a gift from the giver
to smooth all the edges
like stones in the river
the trials of our lives can work for our good
if we let the savior's love surround us
he'll find us
like stones in the river
we are tossed and turned
when the current moves so strong
but stones in living waters over time
are shaped until the edges are gone
polished and smooth, that's what we will be
if we put ourselves in god's hands
each day of our lives is a gift from the giver
to smooth all the edges
like stones in the river

When I first found this song, it really touched my soul. I sometimes feel like I have a lot of trials, mostly because I don't learn my lesson the first time. I have gotten to the point that when I am going through a trial, I think to myself, "What does the Lord want me to learn?" When I found this song, I really felt like it confirmed my thought. The Lord is shaping and molding me to becoming the best that I can be. Smooth stones are more desirable then the rough ones. However, they all start out a little rough. I am a work in Progress.
There are a lot of really smart men in our ward. One that I really love and admire, was our stake president. This man is phenomenal, he was speaking at stake conference once and he said that you would never walk past a building under construction with all of its wires showing and say, "man that is one ugly building." or " it will never be anything that great, what an eye sore." Why would you not say that? Because you know that it is under construction, you know that it is in its early stages. Eventually it will be a beautiful building, give it time. Our stake president goes on to say, "then why do we do say these things about each other? We are all works in progress, only time will tell how someone will turn out." I am a work in progress.
So I ask you to give people the benefit of the doubt, they too, just like you are, a work in Progress.
