Gilbert Temple

 We are so lucky to have a temple being built just walking distance from our home. We have watched it being built. On Kelsey's birthday we were headed to go to dinner when the kiddos squilled with excitiment. Carter and Kennedi have been waiting for the Angel Moroni to be put on. Well that is what they saw! And, I couldn't believe how big it was. A friend of ours let us know that it would be put on tomorrow so no worries & we headed off to dinner.
 The next day I took the kids out of school early & we went to our friends house to hang out & wait to see it all happen. It was so exciting! I love to see the temple!!

Happy birthday Landon!!!

Saturday was a very busy day for me. I cut hair in the morning then went over to our wards Super Saturday and made a very cute Happy birthday banner I will take a picture of it on the next birthday.
Kelsey had a Stake Activity Days so I picked her up and went back to the church building to finish up my projects! I ran to grab a gift for a birthday party Kelsey was going to & drop it off at the house.
Then went back to do more hair and Mike dropped Kelsey off & then I meet Mike & the kiddos at Peter Piper for Landon's party!
Landon was so cute & had a blast!!! It was such a fun time!

What to do?

I really don't know what to do?
Sundays are always a very long hard day!
Carter and Kennedi like to get their own breakfast, snack or treat.
I'm really surprised I have not found them hanging from the chandelier!!!
And, I always thought Cody was tough!
Church has been hard. Today I just wanted to push everyone off me & scream.
I love that all my kiddos still love to snuggle but today I was hot and seriously at one point in sacrament meeting all four were laying on me or trying. I had Cody's head in my lap with Kennedi pretty much sitting on his head. Kelsey leaning on my arm & Carter playing horsey with my leg.
No one wanted Dad!!!
Mike is very helpful but some days like today they all wanted me.
My skirt got lifted up 3 times so all could see my pretty underwear.
Kennedi ripped the bow off my cute shoes & Carter yanked a charm right off of my necklace!
Don't even get me started on Sharing Time!
I do have one thing that was good. They love going to class so I got to enjoy the last hour.
I'm sure you are all sick of me whining. I just had to vent!
It's almost bedtime-YEE HAW!

President Hinckley

I was sad to hear that our sweet prophet Gordon B. Hinckley passed away yesterday but, I know he is happy to be reunited with his sweetheart! He will be missed!!!

We finally got family pictures done on Sunday by my sweet cousin Stacey. This picture was taken while we waited for Mike to change. We came right from church so we all had to change in the car! Carter had not had a nap & was very hungry so we didn't get a lot of great shots of him. We did get a good one for us to send out but we just got them out today. I figure better late then never right!? I love getting all the fun& very cute cards! I also want to know how you guys get your kiddos to sit still, look cute & smile!!? I just finished all my shopping last night. Now I need to start all the wrapping!!!

Santa's Helpers!

This room looked like we were feeding Santa, it was so cute!

Bling! Make it work!!!

The husbands were big helpers! They even decorated this tree. Mindy said when she walked in all the ornament balls were bunch together. The funny part was that they were stepping back & asking one another how the tree looked!

On Friday we went out to dinner with a fun group of friends from our ward. We always have a great time with them! My sweet friend Monica is the new Activity's Committee Chairman and she always does a wonderful job! After dinner we loaded up our cars and started decorating the church. Saturday morning we had a BIG breakfast & then Santa came to visit! We had so much fun!!!
