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!

What stud muffins you have. Mason's suit makes him look like a missionary already. I love how you see the tender mercies of the Lord in everything that happens. If you didn't go the extra mile you may never had seen it. Good going Lacey!
