Manti Pageant

Well, we decided to take the kids to the Manti Pageant this year. I knew Nicholas would not make it through the whole thing but I didn't think he would fall asleep before it started. I also didn't know how excited a little three year old would get to see all the costumes and the pageant. Jessy loved it. She had to let out a very loud WOW, when the angel Moroni was on the top of the temple. She was the most excited of all the kids. We were also glad that Kiarwin was able to meet us there. We were not able to see them a lot during the summer so this was a fun time to get to see them.

I know I only have one picture, our camera that had the other pictures on is broken so we will wait to see if we can get some more from Kiarwin.

I am so thankful for the time that we were able to spend together as a family this summer. It was fun to get to do a few fun things together.

Family Pictures

We are so lucky to have an Aunt Sarah who enjoys taking pictures. She did these pictures this summer for us up at the BYU-Idaho gardens. Nicholas just had to have a waterfall in his picture. These pictures say a lot about our kids. The two clowns with the cheese ball smiles are pretty much like that all the time. My kids are also hand holders and I love that Robby and Aeryka are both holding Nick's hand.

So I have a friend (Krista) who ends all her blogs by saying something that she is thankful. I love that! So I am stealing that idea and I am going to try and remember to do that from now on when I blog.

Today I am thankful that I have a sister that will take my kid's pictures any time that I ask her. She does a great job and my kids love spending time with her (as do I).

15 years ago

So Fifteen years ago I was going to the temple to be married to my sweetie however, they neglected to tell us that we needed to be there two hours earlier, so yes we were two hours late for our wedding. Good Times! I can promise you I have learned a few things since then and we are not known for being late any more!

I can't believe that Ron and I have been married for 15 years(when did I go and get that old?). Ron took me out to lunch for our anniversary to our favorite restaurant (Gloria's Little Italy, Yummy). We knew with school starting on the same day with Nicky we would probably not get out during the evening (after an hour of crying and snuggling he was doing O.K.).

I am so glad that we were at least able spend some time alone together. I am so grateful for a wonderful husband who loves me and our kids. Ron is a great husband who tries to show me everyday how much he loves me. I am so thankful for a wonderful husband, a great father, and having a priesthood holder in our home!
