The big 3-2

Tick off another year...we're officially 32 and feeling it! We celebrated by going to the London Temple for the first time since we've lived here, our first time actually going in that is. I know, sad that it's taken us this long! We so appreciate now how nice it was to have a temple only 30 minutes away! It takes 1.5 hours to get to the temple here on a good day (2.5 this time) - which means you need a babysitter for at least 6 hours and that's if you do a session and come straight home! So, since it's hard to find a babysitter here anyway, especially one that can pretty much give up a Saturday, it's been a challenge to make this happen. We made it though and it was great! We even went out to dinner too! So...here's our token picture of our 32nd birthday! It's not the greatest unfortunately as it was taken by a random passerby, but beggars can't be choosers I guess? I also thought I'd post this picture of our new Angel Moroni. They just put it up there a few months back even though the temple is been there over 50 years. Pretty neat process - helicopters and everything! Here's a link if you want to see how they did it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnQCOsvf9O0

My fashionista...

Last week was half-term for the kids - which meant they have the week off. I should have lots of pictures of the great places we visited during the time off, but Wade was in NYC and I was just too tired! So no super-mom award for me! We pretty much just stayed home!

Since we weren't going anywhere and she's usually in a school uniform, I let Addie pick her outfits each day. Here's a couple of the good ones...


Addie built this fort...said it was her "disco" and I found her "scratchin'" on Noah's "See & Say"! I laughed for about an hour! Where in the heck did she get that idea?!

Oh, the fun you can have with Daddy's pants...

The other night, the kids got ahold of Wade's PJs...never thought a pair of pants could entertain my kids for 30 minutes! These crack me up because by the looks of the pictures, you'd think Wade weighs about 300 pounds! Of course if you know Wade, you know that is NOT the case!
