So Exciting!

We got to church early this week. It was nice to just sit there. Dad couldn't believe how early we were. We tried out the new gospel principles class and think we will go back to the gospel essentials class again next week. With some of the comments made in class Dad felt a little uncomfortable. Mom is fine in either class & is excited for 4 more weeks to come so that we can have Brayden in nursery and just enjoy the class together. Xander came out of nursery with a note. He is going to give his first talk in Primary and is so excited about it!

After church Mom had a meeting to go to with the bishop. Dad stayed home and got lunch ready for all the kids. He even saved some for Mom but she was fasting and Dad had forgotten. But it was sweet that he thought of her.

Mom fell asleep while Dad watched some sports. Then Mom got dinner ready and our dessert as well. We invited The Ralph family over for dessert this week. They have 4 children as well with Mason (10), Hannah (8), Rebekah (5) and Ben (2). Mom is in young womens with her with Staci & Hannah being good friends. It was a nice visit getting to know them a little better.

For family home evening we had a lesson on service by Mom. We talked about how it is important to help others with out them knowing that you were the one to do anything. The kids seemed to enjoy the lesson. Then they all went to bed really well.

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Helpers in the Kitchen

Each night a different one of my children helps me make dinner. I have done this for awhile but have finally figured out the way to make it easier on myself. i get everything prepared ahead of time in little bowls just like they do on the Food Network. This way the kids just mix the ingredients in an easy way without having to measure stuff and the clean up is so much easier. I just tell them how much everything is as we are putting it together. Well tonight I made something super easy but it has the restaurant style look to it from a Pillsbury Cookbook (one of those small ones that are always by the register that my husband and I have a ton of because we pick them up all the time when we are out and about). I think my husband will be shocked, at least I hope he is...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
