Meridian Temple

 When it was first announced that the church would be building a temple in Meridian Idaho I told Jaime I wanted to take the kids to the open house...however long that would be. It turned out to be a few years but the day finally came when the temple was finished and it was open to the public to walk through and view the beauty in it. 
I love house massive and beefy it looks. There are a lot of stairs in it! The stair wells are pretty deep. 


My Aidan and Lindsey. These two are becoming more and more alike as they get older. 


Lindsey, Cami, Audrey


Alex, Olivia, Lindsey, Cami, Audrey
Aidan, Tyler, Carson, and Craig are behind the screen making scary noise. :) Boys

Pictures at the temple
We were able to work it out that we could see Andersons while we were there. As always, we feel it's been way too long since we saw each other. I still love how the kids can pick up and enjoy being together again as if they saw each other last week. Alex is getting bigger and he seemed a little awkward around Olivia at first. But once we were at the restaurant for dinner he seemed to relax a little and I could see he and Olivia were having a good time. Food has a way of doing that ;) Their little ones, Craig and Audrey don't know us. We really need to do better at seeing them or we will always be "some people my parents know" to them. So sad! 
The time with them was short lived but I'll take it anyway. :)

After dinner the kids could hardly wait to go swimming at the hotel. 




Aidan is like me, enjoys the warm water. He walked over to the pool, stuck his toe in, then walked over to the hot tub. :)

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

Living Life Day to Day

My kids are wonderful. They are growing up into wonderful children. I love them so much. We've been very busy with this and that recently. This will be a long recap of some of what's been going on. :) The Primary Program was Sunday Sept 22. (I forgot to get a picture of them on that day but I did get pics of them the previous Sunday.) All four of them memorized their parts and stood at the microphone to say them without any hesitation at all. They were cute to watch singing the songs. Aidan was funny to watch with his gestures and making a heart with his hands through some of the songs. My parents and grandparents were able to come and watch. It was a special treat for the kids to have them there.  The Sunday this picture was taken there were hundreds of yellow butterflies all over the purple flowering bushes. It's hard to see them but on the left you can see one up close.  Tyler had his first talk in primary the Sunday after the program. He stood up to the mi

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
