Random Happenings of March

We took a drive out to the Calgary temple site, and what a surprise to us to find it going up! How wonderfully exciting to us. It will be so beautiful. We've only lived here not even a year, and we ache to have a temple close. For 10 years, we have lived within minutes of a temple. In Idaho Falls, we drove by our temple daily. Here, it's such a big ordeal for Chad and I to go to the temple down in Cardston. We can't wait for this one to be completed! And it's so fun for us to watch it be built from the ground up!



Hailey is so funny. I give her oatmeal to eat for breakfast, and she dumps it onto the table and eats with her hands. She wants to eat everything by herself. It's good, but also a little frustrating! Oh well.

Bath time.. in the kitchen sink! She thought this was great!


My wonderful neighbor made these little barrettes for the girls. I thanked her because now Shelby actually wants me to do her hair!

Riley Turns 9!

Riley. Can you believe you're nine? You are turning into a young man. You are kind and thoughtful and so smart. You are so wonderful with your baby sister. You are such a good friend. You are such a good son. Of all the boys in the whole world we could have been blessed to have, Heavenly Father gave us you. For that, we will be eternally grateful for. You, our only son, bring us much joy. You are precious to us. We love you!

Riley wanted a Lego Star Wars cake. Seriously, how many Star Wars themed cakes do I have to make?? I've made a regular Star Wars cake, and a Light Saber cake. I'm running out of ideas! Oh well, it turned out ok, and he liked it alot! It was one of the easier cakes that I've made!



Riley had a little party. Evan (from school), Brandon, Pierce and Brennan (from church) all came. We had pizza, cake and ice cream. Then the boys went and played laser tag. Fun was had by all.
