Sunday February 3

Kind of rough at spots today.

I miss having Dad around.

We have had quite a few Sunday's where I didn't have to do it alone...…

But the day was good.

It was a nice meeting at church.

Fast and Testimony meeting was great.

We talked about being a light to those around us when we were in Sunday School.

After church, Madi and Cassi had a YCL meeting.

The kids had choir.

Elsie was complaining about not wanting to go and that she was starving!

I told her that if she didn't want to fast then eat, but don't sit there and whine if she wanted to fast.

Then she said she didn't want to go to choir.

I told her that they were relying on her being there, but she could choose.

She was getting ready to eat a bagel and I told her I had to leave to take Port to choir.

She started crying and I asked her why.

I guess she decided to go to choir and she decided not to eat.

I was amazed!

For her to go from a complete meltdown, then making a big girl decision like that, I was very proud of her!

Madi dropped Cassi off to choir after their meeting and she had a meeting after that for Laurels.

I went to the church for my Temple recommend interview to renew my recommend.

After choir, Cassi went with Kendyl to make cookies for the boys in the ward they convinced to come to choir with them :)

Back at home we had some grumpy hungry kiddos!

Fast Sunday, with 9 church is a tough one!!!!

But we made it.

They did good.

After some food we had less fighting :)

I am taking Madi's pictures for Sweethearts in a week.

So we wanted to do some light testing....

So we did some more senior pictures.

It was a fun time and we got super muddy, and she got really wet jumping in the puddles!

Of course it was the Super Bowl today.

It isn't as much fun without Dad here.

But Cassi and Porter built their yearly (as of the last 2 years) stadium out of blocks :)

We ate some dinner, made some muddy buddies.....we had some fun talks in the kitchen while making the muddy buddies.

Porter thinks girls are pretty weird!!!!

We wound down with some puzzle time with Porter.

We are excited to have Dad home tomorrow!!!!!

 Elsie drew this picture of our house a couple days ago, and I love it so much I didn't want to forget to get a picture before it gets erased!!!!!
