Love Him So

Several times every day I am reassured that I married the right man. This morning during scripture study was just one of those moments. He and Mary snuggled up and read the verses aloud together. Then when he returned home from work he picked up a sick Nikki to ask her how she was feeling and if she was okay. And when he arrived home from the movie How to Train a Dragon 2 with the non sickies he shared a photo from the movie theater for me, cuz he knows I need to take a photo every day. He's so thoughtful, loving, and well...seriously good looking. How did I get so lucky?

When the kids hold your phone...

you end up with 300 plus selfies of your children's face. I handed Cameron my phone for a few minutes during church today, which was only one hour due to the regional YSA conference being held in our building. It's always a treat seeing what they capture.

All the Idiarts arrived home today, some last night. The birthday boy loved visiting with Luci during church. It was also nice "not celebrating" Damian's birthday together. He certainly doesn't love any fuss. Happy 40th Big Brother! xoxo

Lunch and Stuff

I am loving our lowered bar. I love handing the kids their lunches as they sit on the whimsical bar stools. Even Hallie and Dana loved lunch on the island. We spent the rest of the day swimming at the Harnoises (I'm nervous to lose my tan) followed by dinner with our awesome Elders and much needed haircuts for the boys. I love Saturdays.

7-11

It's 7-11 day! Aaron took the kids to 7-11 for free slurpees when he returned home from work and just after we spent the afternoon swimming. My mom babysat all morning during my presidency meeting and all evening when we grabbed a bite to eat with the Harnoises. The day just slurped by.

It's hot...

and I miss the Heber pool. It's always a little adjustment when you return home from being entertained all day. After two days of no adventurous activity we took the kids out for some ice cream just so it won't feel like such a shock to their systems.

Back to Life

We spent the day unpacking and unwinding from all our playing. It feels so good to be home. We took nice long showers and baths since the kids spent most of the day in the pool the last couple weeks and needed a good scrubbing. After our reading, piano lessons, and learning workbooks the kids got busy playing with all their toys. Ben came over and taught Noah how to play chess. He loves it and he's actually pretty good.

Let It Go

We arrived home this evening at 5:30pm. It took about 12 hours of driving. The drive went very well and I am always happy when the traveling part is over. Nicole talked nearly the entire time except during the movie Frozen, Its the only show she really watches. We busted out to several Frozen songs, which was my favorite part of the long drive.
