Spring Break in the Snow



We headed to Rexburg for Spring Break to spend some time with Lindsey and Isaac. We brought Koda along for the ride. He travels so well. 

We attended church in Lindsey's ward. They have a giant church building! It's a double chapel. It's amazing how big Rexburg has grown in the last 25 years. So many members live here and not just students. They've already broken ground on a second temple in Rexburg! It felt so good to be with Lindsey and have her sit next to me in church. I miss her so much. 

We spent time with Lindsey and Isaac at their place watching movies, going shopping, and trying some new places to eat. 

On April 1st we went to the Rexburg Temple. Isaac had to work so he wasn't able to go. We did baptisms. Afterwards Jaime and the boys were so good to wait so that I could take Lindsey to do initiatory. She hasn't been back for that since she went to the temple for herself. I know it can be a bit nerve wracking to go by yourself so I wanted to go to help her feel calm and let her know what to do. 

When we came out of the temple it was snowing! What an April Fools joke...if it wasn't Rexburg. 

The Rexburg Temple

Isaac was working and Lindsey had to go to school and we didn't have anything else to do so we decided to go to Idaho Falls. 

While in class Lindsey sent me these pictures from her class. Her teacher has quite the sense of humor. 

I thought these were so good that I sent them to friends and family. They look pretty official. The cafeteria one could easily be taken as real. Good April Fool's jokes!

When we got to Idaho Falls it was sunny and blue skies!

We went in to do some more baptisms in the Idaho Falls Temple. 

I loved seeing the original artwork painted on the walls in the baptistry and the original steel oxen under the font. You could tell they were made hundreds of years ago. I've been reading the Saints series about the church and so seeing this historical building had a bit more meaning for me. 
We had such a good time being in the temple with the boys again. 

Back to Rexburg and it's still snowing!

Time with James

  I invited my nephew James to come stay with us for a week. He's been so much fun to have around. We've had good Sunday and FHE meetings with him, game time - lots of games, and I've just enjoyed his humor and seeing him spend time with my kids.  More games and smoothies. And having three boys to mow the lawn sure gets the job done quick! They were so helpful and happy to work together.  A cute Koda napping picture for us to enjoy. 😊

This year's holiday card.  Front Back I don't write a separate letter but next year I'm thinking I want to make one of those holiday cards that says a few did bits about everyone. Short and sweet, greeting card like and easy to read but filled with love.  I like to post our holiday cards on social media and send it out with a Christmas greeting. That way it gets out to more of our friends and family. :)

THREE Years?!?!?!

On Wednesday September 3rd, 2008 I was at my Mom's house. I started having small contractions that kept getting more frequent. When I would be talking to my mom and have to stop just to breathe we decided that I was in labor and would probably be going to the hospital that night rather than the next morning for my scheduled induction. We had dinner there and after dinner I told Jaime to go ahead and go to mutual as he was in the Young Men's presidency. I wasn't in enough pain and didn't want to go to the hospital too early. Lindsey and Olivia would stay the night since they were going to anyway so Jaime and I could just get up Thursday morning and head to the hospital to be induced into labor. We got the girls in to bed and I said good bye. My brother Darin was home and he drove me to the hospital at 8:30 p.m. I sent Jaime a message I was going and he and my dad (our ward's bishop) would meet me there. I got checked in by 9 p.m. and the nurse checked me and said I...
