A very good Sunday!

Seth didn't get home from Cali til Sunday night and I was nervous to attempt Sacrament meeting by myself. To say my boys are a handful is a huge understatement... it takes both of us to get through sacrament meeting with both of them being so young, i didn't know how I would do it by myself? I felt like I should go, so I had faith it would go okay.  I got up extra early so I could get my guests on the road, get me and the boys ready and be on time. Everything was going good, I was on schedule for an early departure so I snapped some pictures of my handsome men and then as I'm buckling Aiden up... I smell the dreaded smell! REALLY AID! Ugh! I was so going to be ontime! I tried to do it quick but the next thing I know there is poop all over my hand and the carpet.  AH! I felt almost defeated after my all my efforts. I still continued to race and got there right on time! Whew! I was so happy to see a seat next to our good friends and mason bff Linc. They were angels and let me crash the peaceful sacrament experience and helped me with my boys.  They are such good friends. We are so lucky to have find such neat people we click with!  Then the craziest thing happened. Aiden fell asleep in my arms for the first time EVER during sunday school {he's not a arm sleeper} and I got to listen to the whole lesson. Then he woke up and was perfect for RS... What? where did my kids go? The lesson was so good and so for me. It was one that I needed to hear.  I snuck out to change Aiden's diaper and found a empty room to do it in, having not used a changing table since his accident... then I went to use the restroom myself and stopped in my tracks as I walked in. The bathroom was different. The changing table that was a counter without a stink was totally replaced with a Cream regular one with the straps.  I got tears in my eyes.  Dumb, I know.  But we hadn't even pushed the church to do that but after Aiden's accident they said something needed to be done. Something like that usually would fall through the cracks but there it was. Totally changed.  My heart was full enough from the lesson, now I felt even more loved by my Heavenly Father.... then if that wasn't enought as I picked Mason up from Nursery the sweet brother that is Mason's new teacher saw my overloaded arms with the carseat, aiden, diaper bag and now mason and he asked his wife if he could help me to my car. I told him I was totally okay but he insisted. He took the heavy car seat with Aiden in it and helped me to my car and got my kids all buckled in.  I drove home with watery eyes. The sunday I was fearing turned out to be beautiful and full service given to me. I was so grateful and touched. 

Now for the good part... pictures of  my handsome little studs!

Play while the Hubby is Away!

This last week Seth got to got go to California from Wednesday to Sunday.  His students placed well at a comp so they got to go on this Auto trip to Cali {the one Seth went on in HS and that's where his first toured Toyota, where he later worked:)  Anyway while Seth was gone me and the boys decided we would {PLAY}

Wednesday Cookie took the boys to Children Museum in SL at the Getway. We had never been and it was SO cool. Mason was so entertained! His favorite was of course the differents hats he got to wear... silly boy! She spoiled the boys and fed us a fabulous dinner! 

Thursday we had a sleep over with cousins at my sister Chel's. It was so fun...even though Mason and his cousin Chezney can be mortal enemies we still have faith they'll eventually become friends... ha ha. I must admit it was fun for me too. I got time with my sister that was so what I needed: a hiliarous late night run to walmart, a lunch at Zupas, girl talk and a new swimsuit:)  I'm so lucky to live right by her~

Friday Seth's two sisters Missy & Lael came down my my sister and niece Jaymee & Amaiya and spent the weekend.  I love girl time! I missed my hubby terribly but these girls made the time go by so fast.  We all went to Em's dance comp on saturday and the kids were troopers in the gym all day.  Mase and Mya get all so well. They have always been cute together. Their both subborn and a little crazy but as well as the stay on each others good side, we're all good. Jaymee made me laugh until I cry as she always does when I'm with her. She's one of my best friends and always has been. All my sisters are. I love it!  Thanks for all the festivites family, you made our week fly by:)

  

Weekend at {HOME}

For President's Day Weekend we headed down to Toquerville to for a much needed weekend of sunshine and my mom:)  We didn't get the sunshine part but we got my ma so that was good enough for me.  Going to t-ville is always such a treat for us. My mom has always been a single mom so I've been very close to extended family members who helped us growing up.  During high school I lived in toquerville not only with my mom but my Aunt Wan and Grandma GG.  So I look forward to time with the just as much as I do my mom when we visit.  You can count on blizzards from DQ, Zions, Good Food and hour & hours of games.... totally my style!  This weekend was nothing different. I love seeing my sons around the women that mean so very much to me. i love coming home!  Neither of my boys got to meet my favorite man {next to the hubby of course} my Grandpa, he passed away a few months before we got Mase, but when Mason rumaged through some stuff and found my Grandpa's wooden train whisle and played it for hours around the house I felt like my grandpa is connecting with Mase on a whole different level, just between the two of them!  Mason also became obessed with my Grandma GG. He even called her "GG" which is big for mase cause he doesn't really call people by names yet unless he is prompted.  He would follow her everywhere and light up when she came in the room and say "HI GG" .... aw! So darn cute. Made my heart melt!  Aiden did as he always does and swooned the room around him with his laugh and smile! He is just the cutest kid! I love them both! I am one lucky mama!  Missy seth's sister joined us for the weekend and we had a blast having her along... I think she may have be re-thinking joining us when she had to pick up Mason's dino for the 7th time in the backseat of the crammed car:) haha.

Thanks for an awsome weekend Ma, we'll be back soon:)

Baby Hayden

My very best friend from high school had her second baby two months ago and I finally got to meet the little guy on our way down south for President Day weekend. He was so darn cute! I have to admit as cute as he was I'm not even close to baby hungry again yet.... haha.  My friend looks amazing and no where near just having had a kid! It was so fun to have dinner with them and see our boys play.  We always joked about getting married together and then having kids and even though we got married two years apart we still managed to have a kids on schedule:)  Mason and Dax are three months apart and Aiden and Hayden are 7 months apart!



(horrible, horrible color in this. like i have said before, i HATE my point and shoot. i can't good a good picture on that thing to save my life.... ugh! oh well still REALLY cute boys!)

Story Time with Mr.Duck...

A couple weeks ago we were getting into the kids night routine which is Pj's and LOTS of book reading... when Mason spotted a duck costume that had been in Aiden's closest for over a year.  He pointed and pointed until I got it down. The thing didn't even fit him, it was for like 12 months or something but he insisted that I {make} it fit!  He loved it. When he would walk in it his foot would bounce up because it was so tight on his legs. He proceeded to wear it through story time and brushing his teeth.  Then when I told him it was time for bed, he went and laid down on the kitchen floor and did his 'fake' sleep.  Such a funny kid! He thought it was so cool and asked to wear again first thing the next morning!  I had to start hiding it so it didn't insist on wearing it when we were in public:)
