Temple Trip

We all took a trip to Memphis to attend the temple. Jaycee was able to go for the first time and do baptisms. Jeremy got to do it with her. Our babysitter fell through at the last moment (shame on you Evelyn), so I got to spend time playing in the nursery with these silly goofs!

Where Are They?

There is nothing more frightening than when your children are missing. And also nothing more sweeter than when you finally find them..... sleeping in your bed. I guess that they were tired from all of the morning fun!

Service

One of the things that I wanted to focus on this year was service. With five children keeping me busy I feel like I am lacking in the area of service. So when friends of ours asked us to keep their little girls, Molly 3 months and Savannah who just turned 2, for 4 days I jumped at the chance! I mean how hard can it be with a couple more?



Here is Jaxon Claire on the left and Savannah on the right after a messy dinner!



Savannah was into climbing on everything! She really liked to climb onto the piano and stomp on the keys.
My girls were a big help. Unfortunately the visitors were sick. I did not sleep at all because the baby was having such a hard time. She could not breath because of her cold. I felt so bad for her.
So after all of the poopy diapers, snotty boogers and crying babies we were exhausted and ready for the parents to come home. I was happy to serve though and look forward to the next time I can do so!



Savannah found our "missing" Easter egg during all of her exploring! Yeah Savannah!!!

Jaydens Birthday Bash!

The birthday party fun started at the movie theater where we watched Nims Island. We came home and opened up the gifts.
Then we headed off to the kitchen where they made their own personal pizzas.
Instead of one big birthday cake I bought them each a small puppy cake.
After a night of NO sleep they woke up and had cold cereal.
Jayden said she wants more friends at her next birthday. Heaven help us!!!

3 Ninja Spy Girls!

I just love listening and watching my girls play. I remember how fun it was to use my imagination! Today they were The 3 Ninja Spy Girls! So fierce!! They each had a belt around their waist. Hanging from the belt they had their different gadgets. Jillian had a toothbrush, walkie-talkie, black camera and colored sticks!
Jenna said, "And I am a side-kick!"
Ready to take on the day!!! Notice the American flag in Jaydens hair!!

Jaxon-Claire

Jaxon-Claire has to do everything that her sisters do. So the day after Jenna took a face dive, Jaxon decided to do the same! Her "owie" is even in the same spot! She's good!!! My parents have a picture of me, when I was about Jaxon's age, pinching my sisters arm. I was such a bully! Jaxon -Claire likes to pull hair, scratch arms, hit and pinch! When she is finished hurting us she leans over to kiss us better and gives us a small loving hug. It is hard to stay mad for long! The sisters get a big kick out of her!
