The daily routine for the Orton Kids has been that after school, they do homework and go to soccer Practice. They are busy pretty much all day so when 7:30pm comes around, they are pretty tired. Before going to bed and after brushing their teeth, drinking water, and saying their prayers, Mom or dad will read a story to them and mom will sing a good night song which is most of the time, "I love to see the Temple" for Bryce, and "Families can be together forever" for Asha. Then, Asha will get her breathing treatment to control her asthma. This consits of a dose of Pulmicourt Respules and Xopenex. She is a tough and brave little girl when it comes to enduring her treatment sessions which last approximately 20 minutes each. She has to do these daily. Most of the time she's not even able to stay up through the whole thing since she is pretty drained and tired by that time of day. I really enjoy to see them rest not only because Bryan and I also get a break but also because I realize how Important that time is for them to get some well deserved rest. I thank Heavenly Father for night and sleep.
Here are a couple of pictures depicting the way that Asha and Bryce fall asleep at night.
Sweet Dreams my little ones.

Today Bryce decided that it would be a good Idea to make Chicken noodle sopita for dinner.
He takes after his dad who is always watching the cooking Channel and loves to try out new recipes. Asha is the same way and she likes to help in the kitchen. One day She made Chicken caldo from beginning to end all by herself! She even washed the chicken and everything. I was Impressed.
Anyway, today Bryce and I took on the task together and had so much fun. He claims he made it by himself and that he came up with the recipe. He did decide what vegetables to put in the soup. It turned out great. He welcomed Asha and Daddy with a warm bowl of sopita when they got home from school and work. Good job Bryce! you're turning into a great cook!
Since Winter is almost here and I've had some spare time in my hands lately, I've decided to take advantage and make the kids some tie blankets. I went to the fabric store and bough fleece to make the blankets 3 yards long so it could fit their full size beds. I wanted them to be big and cozy! I found the fleece at a good price and bought Asha hot pink and black. I also bought polka dot ribbon in different colors to tie bows on it. For Bryce, I found some fleece with the theme of the movie "Cars". They are turning out pretty good. The kids love them and will get good use out of them for many winters to come.
Today was a real Special Sunday for numerous reasons. We had a beautiful Sacrament meeting. It was filled with the most spiritual and beautiful testimonies of the Savior and his gospel. The rest of the meetings were just as powerful. This whole past week, I have felt the power of the adversary as we are trying to fight in the great cause of keeping the sanctity of Marriage. I have lost friends over this issue, It is so sad. Going to church today, has reassured me of the love of the Savior in these difficult times. He is aware of what is going on and he is on our side. That is of great comfort to me. I'm grateful for the blessing of the Gospel. I'm grateful for the knowledge of eternal Families. Today, We closed Sacrament meeting with one of my favorite Hymns "Where can I turn for Peace" This beautiful song, comforted my soul and made me realize that We can only find peace through our Savior and Redeemer.
During Relief Society, my soul was touched again as one of the sisters shared with us her testimony of one of the special gifts she possesses. She said that ever since she was a child when she first learned of Heavenly Father, she knew without a doubt that there was a God who created us and she has never questioned his power nor his love for us. It is a great feeling to know I have the same knowledge of Heavenly Father and I have never questioned him nor his power and love for all of his children. We closed relief Society's meeting by singing "Families can be together forever" This Is Asha's Favorite song. It is so sweet to hear her powerful and piercing testimony of the gospel and of Eternal families that is inbeded deeply in her Heart.
When We got home from church, after eating dinner, we gathered as a family for Family Home evening which we sometimes hold on Sunday rather than Monday because of busy schedules. We learned that we can have a piece of heaven In our Homes by keeping our Home Clean, tidy and inviting to the Spirit. We have made a commitment as a family to do better in this aspect which is hard to keep at the Orton's residence. Little by little, it will happen.
The whole purpose and main idea of this blog entry is to express my feelings of this Special Sunday and to share how thankful I am to know that we have a Father in heaven who loves us so much and has created a plan of happiness and Eternal families for us all. We are not alone in this world. Despite of the adversity, we have the gospel and the Savior and his atoning sacrifice as aids in this life and can find ways to be happy here on earth and find eternal happiness as eternal families One day.
Vote Yes On Prop 8Asha is a big fan of Hannah Montana. She's not into the show at all, she loves her songs, clothing, and Style though. Today, after she finished her homework, she asked me if I could let her borrow some of my jewelry, I gave her some of my cool bracelets and then she went into her room and came out with this super cool Hannah Montana look. I laughed because she just cracked me up with her style. I had to help her do her hair, and I just couldn't resist so I pulled out my Camera and took some pictures. Here is My super cool Asha Montana!!!
