The Temple

So a couple of weeks ago Derrek and I got invited to go to a friends sealing, unfortunately they also invited our free babysitter, Grammy. So I stayed outside seeing as it's Derrek's best friend and watched our cute kids. I was trying to teach Ryan all about the Temple, but he kept telling me "Go all the way through mom, let's go all in." It was so cute. I talked to him about the Angel Moroni and that this is where Jesus lives. So it got pretty hot so we went in to sit in the waiting room. He looks at me and goes "ssshhh, Jesus house he sleepin'." I just love him! All the elderly helpers wanted to come see my kids one scared Ryan half to death because he was on the otherside of the glass and spooked Ryan. Ryan yelled "I scared." Then the old man tried to make things better by talking like donald duck, but no use Ryan wouldn't budge. He loves the Temple now and every morning asks if he can go to the Temple, I say not today. Then he will say "go to church then?" Now we wgo to the Temple just to stop by and he loves it! I will post some pictures later, I don't have my camera. I am just grateful for my little guy, and even though he is small he has such a desire to achieve greater and better things. He will teach Abigail great things one day, I can't wait!

It's been awhile..




So it's been a full month! With all the holidays and vacations I can forget to write, so I am sorry.:) For the 24th our family went to pineview to go wave running for the day with Derrek's side of the family. It was a lot of fun, and I even took Ryan for a ride and we went fast! It was all going well until the lame marina people pulled me over! Who does that? So they totally ruined my trip and since I am no longer on depression medicine I cried when I got back to shore. They weren't really mean either I just got mad, plus it was my first ever ticket! Good thing it doesn't count against me. So I told Derrek I was never going on them again! On the plus side his mom said she would pay for it! YAY for me!

I must say that I am pretty lucky to have such awesome families! On either side would help us out when we needed it. I love them!

So at the end of the month we will be going wave running again at Lake Powell and Derrek said they aren't as stingy at all, so hopefully I don't get another ticket or I will never go on them again!

So my ward has a play group and Ryan has been having so much fun! We have only gone a couple of times, but he enjoys getting out and I enjoy it as well because he gets extra tired! There is only one other boy that goes and luckily he is in Ryan's nursery class and they have so much fun. I also like to get some adult conversation in as well, because if any of you know my hubby it comes few and far between! Just kidding, he can surprise me from occassion! Anywho, so that is the day we always look forward to.

Exciting news from one of my friends, Stacie Parker Noall, she is expecting TWINS!!! A boy and a girl. I am so happy for her. I know it will be a huge struggle financially though, especially in these times where everything is being hiked up, so I told her we can go shopping and pick out some fabric so I can make her bedding. I am totally not fabulous at it but mine work fine for what I need.:) I always wanted to treat all my friends the same gift wise, but I guess I never thought twins would be in the ratio or the times as bad as they are. Anyway I am just ecstatic for her! Sorry to those who think I didn't give them good stuff, one day I may make up for it.:) I hope all my friends know that I would do anything I possibly could for them and to just ask me if they needed help.

Thanks have a good one!:)
