New Temple!



I was very excited this morning when I found out that there will be a new temple built in Gilbert and in Thatcher! I am sure everyone has heard by now! I thought it was a joke at first but it was not. I found an announcement on the churches website for temples.

I put a picture of the Manti Temple because that is where My husband and I were married! Just a little sentimental:)

Jinxed

I jinxed myself when I posted that last week was calm and not much going on! Well as of yesterday I have a lot on my plate this week!

Monday: Teach the lesson at the Family Home evening group and do the treats. So I have to clean house and babysit and get everything ready for tonight.

Tuesday: Meeting with the First Counselor and Chorister for our ward primary to discuss the stake leadership meeting we had last Thursday. Then I have to have dinner ready and made by 5:00 so I can go to the temple as a primary presidency at 6:00.

Wednesday: Be at both our houses for our ac check up at 11:oo . Take Kade for a play date at 10:30. Babysit Baby M. and then Later that evening my Sisters Kids.

Thursday: Babysit Baby M. and keep working on the sharing time I have for Sunday and the talk on "what reverence is", for our ward primary leadership meeting. GNO hopefully:) I am sure I am going to need it!!!

Friday: Kids are home from school and I have to paint my daughters room with her. Keep working on sharing time and talk.

Saturday: NO Car, Kirt is taking our car to the mechanic to get the ac fixed and the part that they have to fix is under the dash and will take most of the day to fix. Bummer! (I don't like to drive my husbands truck. no ac and radio) Put finishing touches on sharing time and talk.

I am softee!

Today I went over the the Tempe MarketPlace Harkins Theater and bought the summer movie passes! I was surprised to see no line and Friday was not sold out. Yeah!!! I had Kade with me and he was upset that we did not get to see a movie right then, and started to cry. Me being the sucker that I am, bought tickets to see "Horten Hears a Who". It was a cute little movie and gave us something to do today! It was fun because we were two out five people in the theater seeing the movie.

I guess I had better get going and do something productive around the house. We have family coming in out of town, Brock is going on a camporee, and I have a birthday party to go to tonight! Fun, Fun, Fun:)

Thank Heaven...

Nothing to exciting has happened this week....


Kade played outside in the dirt and on the swings,




Then washed off his shoes in the bathroom sink (with the help of my hairbrush),




and I have been watching this little cutie 2 or 3 days a week. I forget how much attention a 4 month old needs, but, It sure has been fun. Baby M. Has started rolling over and has cut her first tooth!!!

I had better count my blessing for this week and hope next week goes about the same!

County Fair







Today Jenn S. and I , with our four year olds, went to the Maricopa County Fair!! We had
Fun. The boys enjoyed seeing all the animals. There were Sheep, Pigs, Goats and Alpaca's.
They even had an exhibit of rainforest animals. It was really cool to see a ring tailed lemur:) I forgot to take picures of that! The boys had fun at lunch making a mess and getting food all over their faces. Jenn had fun watching the lady behind be eat her lunch and talk at the same time! It was not a pretty sight! The boys also had a blast on some of the rides. Kade rode a roller coaster for the first time! I was so proud of him! NO tears! I asked him how the ride was and all he said was that it was scary!

Today was a good experience:) Thanks Jenn for going with me!

Where would you like to live?





Where would you like to live? That was the question at last nights dinner. It sparked some good conversation and even a little debate, which was fun! You can see from the pictures above what the top four answers were. Here are some of the reasons why.

Alaska : Because it would be far enough away from family! (the debate answer)

Colorado: We could be closer to Grandma and Grandpa McNeil

Texas: Far enough away but close enough if we had to come back and visit! ( I liked the Texas idea because it would mean that We could be closer to Amanda and Katrina)

Washington state(specifically Seattle area): Not to cold and not to hot! and just wet enough!
( I liked Washington too, because that is where I remember growing up as a little kid)

There was no rhyme or reason for the question just something to start a conversation. No we are not moving but if we could I would suspect that any one of these places would be on our top places to go!

Where do I start?

I am going to try and give, as briefly as I can, an upate on what has been going on here at our house!

1. Everone (but me) is still sick: infuenza type B, Fevers off and on of 103.7 , chest congestion that I think has turned into pnuemonia for Kirt, Chantel and Kade. Brock has seemed to escape all the junk. Sore throats with blisters in the back of throats, but not strep! A Virus!!! Kirt and Chantel have ANOTHER DR. appointment today! Dr's have put me on TAMIFLU, so that I hopefully wont get what they have. So Far So Good:)

2. We had to take our computer in because it was acting funny and the tech found a TROJAN HORSE ON THE HARD DRIVE!!! I was going through computor withdrawls for a while! I guess I have to admitt whether I like it or not that I am addicted to the computer!

3. The silver lining: Because of the compter being gone I was able to get a little house work done and I may end up getting a lap top for me to use! :)
