School Pics 2014

OH!

MY!

PERFECT!

PICTURE!

Holy cow my kid is cute!

And seriously, He's So BIG!

When did he get so old?

Now I have to tell you, I had to fight for a smile with this kid.

He was having a serious melt down a semi second before the click.

I had to do so much bargaining to get this smile.

A happy meal and an ice cream.

Gosh he's a tough cookie but totally worth it for this AMAZING pic.

This boy makes me sad for other moms who's sons aren't as cute as mine, which is like everyone cause Scotty is just the cutest around.

I know, I'm a bit obsessed with my kid.

I just love him so much. 

Jilly Bean

Today my Jilly Bean got married.

Oh how I love this girl.

She is one of my heroes.

I went to the bountiful temple to witness it and oh how my heart sings for this girl.

And Holy Cow, she was absolutely GLOWING!

I don't think I've ever seen her look more beautiful.

I made a complete fool of myself though.

I gave her a hug after wards and walked right past her new husband and didn't say a thing.

I just didn't think about it, no, I don't know how one doesn't think about it.

I must have blinked or wiped a tear from my eye and walked right past.

I'm such a ditzy, rude idiot.

Anyway, after wards we went to her grandma's house in Lehi to celebrate and I apologized profusely to her husband, Aaron.

He was teasing me about it which is a good thing, cause even though we just met we are already past the awkward polite hump and now on the friendly banter and joking life long friendship path like Jilly is with Mark.

Like all weddings I couldn't help but think of mine and Mark's.

Oh how I love being married and Mark is my very best friend.

He and I just have the best time together and being silly together.

We had so much fun remembering our special day during her big day.

Heaven

It sucks when babies are sick.

And when Mark is sick I can never tell who's the bigger baby.

But there is one wonderful thing that happens when babies are sick.

Cuddles!

Lots and lots of cuddles.

Oh cuddling is one of my very favorite things.

I love when this boy falls asleep on me.

It really does feel like Heaven to me.

Wait, What?

While watching Saturday morning cartoons today with Scott we had the following conversation:
Mark- "I take it mermaids aren't very smart." 
Scott- "yeah, like mom."
Me- "wait, is mom smart or not smart?" 
Scott (matter of factly)- "NOT smart."
Mark (while laughing)- "That's not very nice Scott."
Scott (kinda in a yell)- "NO, she's adorable!"

Thanks I guess.

I think I need to teach Scott that people can be more then one thing.

First of the Last

Scott is starting his last year of preschool.

He will once again be going to two different schools.

He is going to Mrs. Lockwood's school with all new people and a new school with all new people and teachers.

Yeah, I'm a bit nervous.

I'm excited for some one on one time with Dean but having Scott home has been fun this summer.

But Scott is excited.

He loves school and always seem to be happier after school.

So we shall just have to wait and see how it goes.

And say a lot of prayers, for him and for me.

Aaaaagghhhhhhhh!

So it's true, I'm obsessed with my boys.

Everything they do is just so cute and so perfect.

Like this face right here.

You might not be able to tell but this is Dean's kiss face.

Don't be afraid that he's about to eat you.

If you see this coming at you, it means that he likes you and wants to slobber all over your cheek.

We pretty much only give kisses on the cheeks in this house.

Ogden Temple Walk Thru

Oh how I love living in Utah, the land of the Temples.

We as Young Women got to go on a tour of the newly remodeled Ogden Temple.

It looks so much better then it used to.

I loved experiencing it with my girls too.

I got to tell them a few things about the rooms, tell them about the Mt. Timpinogus Temple that was built when I was their age, share my testimony of the divinity of temples.

Yes it was a glorious day in deed.

1.    I love to see the temple.I'm going there somedayTo feel the Holy Spirit,To listen and to pray.For the temple is a house of God,A place of love and beauty.I'll prepare myself while I am young;This is my sacred duty.
2. I love to see the temple.I'll go inside someday.I'll cov'nant with my Father;I'll promise to obey.For the temple is a holy placeWhere we are sealed together.As a child of God, I've learned this truth:A fam'ly is forever.
