Dream Big

and BIG things will happen. Karson has some of those wall sticker doo-dads in her room that say "If you can dream it, you can do it."

The pictures in this post are just to adorable to pass up. Elizabeth spent the night Sunday night, and we did some rag rolling. I thought the girls looked so cute watching the Golden Globes and dreaming of fancy dresses, sparkling make-up, shiny nails and all the pizazz of Hollywood life.

Curls, Curls, Curls...

At the ripe ol' age of 35 Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean WOW. I'm thankful that my children are taught about important people like Martin Luther King Jr. and his dreams which were simply treating people the way you would want to be treated. It's completely ludicrous that someone would kill him for this idea. I want my children to dream big. I have so many wonderful dreams and prayers for their lives.

I can't brag on Karson and Isaac enough especially when it comes to their academics. Isaac recently came home with his 2nd round of test scores and blew them through the roof: making a 187 on his Grade test (102 is above average) and a 490 on his Gmade (474 is above average). I also received Karson's test scores today for her Grade: 468 (above average is 435) and Gmade: 501 (495 being above average). The Grade test is reading assessment and Gmade is the math assessment. Trust me though, (althought they help) grades aren't everything--the heart is what matters the most. The MOST important thing in this world are people. I love that Martin Luther King Jr. inspired my daughter to write this:

Karson D.

My dream is to help the eviorment.

I could help the eviorment.

I could tell other people.

I could go to a pet shelter and make pets feel at home.

I could have a food drive.

I could give poor part of my alounce.

I could have a yard sell where everythings free.

I could plant a community garden.

*Let us all truly think like Martin Luther King Jr. and find ways to be more self-LESS in 2011. The world is full of pessimists and people who complain ALL the time. There's no shortage in those areas. There are shortages though in people who are JOYFUL and simply dreamy! Let's SHINE in 2011!
