Sweet Little Moment

Yesterday I had a rare moment. After church, McKinlee and I were sitting on the couch playing with her princess dolls. She started singing, and she wanted to sing every song she knew.....which is many. Of course she wanted me to sing with her. After singing about 5 songs, I noticed that I was the only one singing. I looked down at her, and she was asleep. Those of you who know my daughter, know that this is a rare occasion. This does not happen very often. But it was so cute. She looked so peaceful and INNOCENT sleeping there. It made me grateful to be a mom . I love my kids so much. So my new layout on my blog reminded me of being a mom, all of the scribbles, mess, fun times, laughter, crying, I'll take it all.....bring it on (I think).

St. George Temple

Last Monday, Jordan and I planned on going to the Temple. We decided to wake up at about 6:30 AM and get ready. Well Hunter woke up at about 5:30 AM to eat, so we just decided to start getting ready. We figured we'd wake McKinlee up and just put her in the car in her pajamas and she'd sleep the whole way, but we were wrong. She SANG and TALKED the whole way. It was pretty dang cute, even though it was so early. Being that we live 45 minutes away from the temple, and we have 2 small ones, we decided for Jordan to do a session at the temple, and I'd watch the kids, then we'd trade. I admit that it was tough living out of the car for the day, changing clothes, feeding Hunter, being pooped on (ya Hunter is a champ) ect., but to make a long story short, it made me very grateful for the temple, and made me miss living so close to one. I know I'm only 45 minutes away, but I miss my 5 minute drive. I am so thankful for the blessings of the temple, and for the spirit that I felt as I was inside. It was so neat to let McKinlee see the importance of the temple. She actually was pretty upset because she couldn't go inside the temple and see Jesus.....but she was excited when we walked around and she got to touch the big door. It was a long day, but well worth it. When we got home, McKinlee zonked out on the couch, and Hunter was so excited to be out of his carseat. We had to video record it because it was so cute! But I am having trouble downloading it, so the video will come soon.
