Temple

Leave a reply
 So we FINALLY (been to the St. George Temple lots since moving to AZ.) made to the Mesa Temple. It’s such a beautiful Temple. We had the opportunity to see one of our ward members go through. He is leaving soon to serve a mission in Billings Montana.
 We have such an AMAZING ward. There were so many people who came to support Greg.  This goup photo is missing many who were not able to stay for the pic.
 We went out to eat after. 
 Jon and I had dinner before the session, so we got these awesome desserts.
What were the children up to while we were gone?  Playing, swimming(ish), general merriment, and mayhem. The children had a great sleep over at the cousins house.
 I of course grabbed some pics of them passed out this morning when I arrived to pick them up.
It was a fabulous Thursday night for all of us.

shoping

Last weekend Shannon hauled my sorry bum out to the mall.  I ended up using my inhaler more and also less than I wanted to (needed to RUN Regan to a toilet).  We have felt so cooped up the last few weeks while my lungs have been on the SLOW mend.So this outing was much needed.

The children did well.  I was pleased.

I brought some snacks to help prevent whining.

There was a fun play place in the mall where we ended our shopping adventure.

The children had a blast being able to FINALLY run wild.

Cuties pies. All of them!

There was only one crabby pants just at the end of our adventure. Not too shabby for almost three hours of shopping with six children. I think we will be brave enough to go on another shopping trip with all the kiddos again.
I do have to say that I am SO SO much better. It’s been about a week since my last inhaler hit. Doc did say it would take a month or more for my lungs to feel “normal”. I am just happy to be breathing easy again.
