I love to see the temple...

Austin is a little obsessed with the temple right now.  He knows where to find it when we're on the loop.  He always yells, "I can see the temple!  It's by the water tower!".  He knows the Angel Moroni is on top and he knows that the temple is Heavenly Father's house.  I thought he would like it if we had FHE on temple grounds and walked around the temple a time or two.  He LOVED it!  We had the temple FHE on Wednesday (Jim has class on Monday nights) and he has asked to go back to the temple every day since.

We talked about what we do in the temple, who goes into the temple, when the boys can go to the temple for the first time, and the things we do to get and keep a temple recommend.  Austin's such a smarty pants!  I asked the boys what they think happens in the temple as we started FHE and Austin quickly answered, "We pway and talk about Jesus in the temple!"
Now, that's one bright 3 year old.  Such a good, sweet boy!

Here's a couple pictures at the temple.
Jackson was a little under the weather, so he did not appreciate having to smile for pictures, but he did a pretty good job!



I love these little faces!
This picture shows all their little personalities:  Jackson is being responsible and just doing what I asked him to even though he doesn't feel well.  Austin is a little ham and Harrison with those dimples- so so so cute!


Harrison was all smiles while we were at the temple.  From the moment we got there he was smiling and cooing.


It was a really good night.

Maybe a new birthday tradition...

I just have one brother and his birthday is 5 days before mine, so it's been pretty easy to keep up with him. Jim, however, has 3 brothers and a sister, and now 3 of his siblings are married, so the birthday's just keep adding up. My forgetful brain can NOT keep up. Anyway, I've been looking for a cute and thoughtful way to send birthday greetings to all the aunts and uncles since we've been married. Almost 4 years later I think I finally have an idea! My idea is to make a birthday sign every year and have the boys take a picture with the sign for whatever family member has a birthday. Then send the person the picture with birthday greetings. Then every year they will have a different picture with the boys as they grow and I won't feel guilty missing anyone's birthday without proper acknowledgement. I also thought that it would make a great photo album for us if we keep each person's birthday picture with the boys and watch their growth progression ...

Can I finally join the club??

I have issues with making anything with yeast.  It scares me.  I tried making rolls or bread in home-ec as a kid and it was a FLOP!  Since, I stay far away from baking goods with yeast, so of course, that includes homemade bread.  I LOVE homemade bread, but I've never made it.  I realize I'm not a real Mormon wife and mother because of this huge flaw, but I've managed to make it as a so-so wife and mom with this awful glitch in my character.  Then I came across an "easy" recipe for honey wheat bread (thanks for posting it on fb Liz Nuffer) and decided to conquer my fear of yeast. First things first, I had to buy yeast- there are 394 different kinds of yeast.  No one warned me how many different kinds there were!  My fear began to overcome me, but I gathered all my strength and picked the most interestingly plain kind I could find.  Hopefully it would do the trick! I followed the recipe, but it said to wait until the yeast "frothed". ...

It's time to play catch-up

I haven't updated the blog in awhile because life has been VERY busy. Lots of new things happening, but that's for another day, another blog. A week or so ago we had a special breakfast, we had dessert for breakfast, strawberry shortcake. Austin LOVED it, but he's not a picky eater. Jackson, however, was not impressed with this special treat. It was like pulling teeth just to get him to try it, then he responded with, "it's delicious!", but wouldn't take another bite. I even made fresh whipped cream which he usually loves, but he wasn't interested. Anyway here are the boys with their special breakfasts. I recently posted about the new chore chart that I made for Jackson and it is going SO well!! I thought he would flip out with the 15 minutes of game time, but he doesn't. He really likes moving the magnets around on the chart and cashing in chores for nickels every night. He even knows how to use the timer for his 15 minutes of game time. ...
