Father's Day Weekend Trip

With the Juneteenth holiday Jaime didn't need to work on that Friday so we packed up and left at 5am Thursday morning for Rexburg! We made amazing good time and I had all my kids with me that evening! 

They all miss each other. I loved seeing them spend little moments together laughing. 

Chaz took a lot of time patiently showing Tyler how to play the guitar. Chaz has a pretty unique gift of being able to play the guitar just by hearing songs. Tyler had a great time learning from him because Tyler will be taking a beginning guitar class in school. 

Saturday morning we got up early and went to the temple as a family to perform baptisms. Nothing better than being in the temple with your family. 

Sunday was Father's Day. We attended church together in Olivia and Chaz's ward. Afterwards we changed and headed to the park to relax and visit. It was such a beautiful day. Both Koda and Milo had a lot of fun running around the large fields. 

It was a perfect day! After the park we went back to get our Father's Day dinner going. Jaime and Isaac made some delicious steaks. The girls helped me with the crash potatoes, broccoli, and salad. The kids gave Jaime fun gifts. They're so thoughtful and creative in what they gift. 

It was a fun weekend and ended so fast. We headed out Monday morning after saying goodbye to the kids as they headed off to school and work. We make good time driving anymore. The kids are older and Koda is an awesome traveller. We make the trip with one stop.

Time in Arizona

Night swims!  Laying out in the sun during the day!  I like coming to Arizona because the evenings it's still warm outside that we can be out playing and having a good time but not sweltering hot. The days are so hot but it's great to be out poolside and then dip in the pool to cool off.  Koda has picked his person between Marty and Diana. He likes to follow Diana when I'm not around. It's cute that she likes him too.  June 26th  Keeping up with our goal of going to the temple to do baptisms every month this year! Tyler has wanted to go to the Mesa temple since we came to the Easter Pageant. We made it happen this month. It was great that Christy dropped off Makaela so she could join us.  Every time we go someone comments on our boys. They're such good kids.  Handsome boys.  After the temple we went to spend the day at Darin and Christy's. Christy provided a yummy lunch and we enjoyed catching up with her and the girls. And spending time with thei...

Happy Father's Day Jaime

Image
Breakfast for Jaime. Banana pancakes, bacon, hash browns and OJ.  Aidan and Tyler wanted to make cookies with Jaime for Father's Day. I thought it was such a sweet gesture. Olivia was a bit bummed she couldn't be here for it as she feels it's been a thing for her and Jaime to make chocolate chip cookies together. I told her she's here in spirit. The kids all called Jaime to wish him a Happy Father's Day. We need to enjoy these last few years of having kids home for these smaller holidays. Before I know it we won't have any of them here for them.  P.S. Can't believe I didn't get a picture of Jaime with the boys!

Promptings

 I went to the temple today to do an endowment session with my Aunt Laurel who is visiting and staying at my parents for a few days. Mom and Dad were leading the session so it was fun for all four of us to be in there. It was a very full session of women. There were 31 women and 8 men! 39 of the 40 seats were full. I've been in sessions and lead sessions that had 42-46 people (folding chairs were brought in to accommodate after 40). But never have had this many sisters.  I used to have such anxiety going to the temple. So nervous about remembering what I was supposed to do and say. Being a temple worker definitely has helped ease that now that I know what to do and say more easily. It makes it so that I can focus on the words more and not stress about what's next. After I crossed into the Celestial room I had the overwhelming feeling of how happy I felt. The thought came to my mind, "Being prepared makes such a difference." I thought yes it does! I felt better prepare...
