Bragging moment for the mom!!! :)


So Isabelle was asked to give a talk last week in primary. Thank heavens for late church because of course I forgot! :) So I get up and start writing the talk and then have Isabelle come help me finish it with some of her own words. Then I think to myself, this has some really big words in it I better read it over with her a couple of times so that she can be able to get through the whole talk. At this point I am planning on standing up with her and helping her give the talk. I will let her read her "word wall words" and then I will help her with the rest. So I print out the talk and we sit together on the couch to review it. And what do you know Isabelle reads almost every word, by herself!! She was so excited to give the talk that she practiced it ALL afternoon. When it was time for church she informed me that she would like to do the talk all by herself and I can sit on the front row just in case she needs help. So she got up when it was time and she stood at the little podium and she gave the talk, all by herself!! I am soooo proud of her!! I can't believe what a good reader she is! :) I will post the talk, so you can see what she stood up and read! Sorry as a mom I have the right to brag every once in awhile!!


Here's her talk:


I will obey my parents.
Heavenly Father wants parents to teach their children the commandments. This is a great responsibility for our parents.
As children, each of us have responsibilities too. Heavenly Father has said: "Honor thy Father and thy Mother." This is one of the ten commandments.There are many ways to honor our parents, we honor them when we show them love. One way to show them love is by being helpful. There are many ways that we can be helpful to our parents. I like to help my mom with baby Isaac. I give Isaac his toys when he is sad. I like to help clean the house. I like to clean my room.
I can help my daddy by picking up the back yard.


I like to obey my parents.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen

You have every right to brag. What an accomplishment. Cody is still barely learning to read. I need to get that website from you again. Tell Isabelle we are proud of her too and that she can teach Cody how to read this summer.

Great job, Porter junior, I mean Isabelle. That is great. Grey's still on the word wall words, but that's ok, at least he talks now. :)
