Check out what's new!!!

Just a few things this morning before Xazmin and I head off to the greatest store ever!!! (Taipan Trading) LOVE this place!!! We need a fun break from working, and taking care of kiddos, so a visit to this store is definitely what we need, plus if you are into the Scentsy type candles at all, these guys have a brand of scented wax cubes that are AMAZING...in fact Xazmin picked one up for me for an "early"Birthday present last week, and it is the best scent ever!!!! Smells just like my very favorite candle from Salt City Candles....which I am not allowed to burn anymore.(Hunter Dan wasn't appreciating all the black on the ceiling from my obsession with candles...now I just have 4 Scentsys going at all times)

Just a few pics from the outside of the house...kind of sad but I didn't get as much put up as I would have normally...I ran out of energy....it's still fun though and festive just no coffin, or spider webs, or big spiders...maybe next year.

These pumpkins light up with orange lights inside...No pumpkins and gourds yet around the front door, I think maybe for family home evening in a couple weeks we will head to the pumpkin patch and pick some.We've had some of those chilly Fall mornings too...love it!

Lastly, Bug and Lexlee had orthodontist appointments yesterday morning. Poor Bug had to have four new brackets put on.....all the while Lexlee got a huge surprise, phase one of her work is done....BYE BYE BRACES!!!!!

She will get a break for about a year, but then phase two will start...more braces!!! Her teeth look amazing, her front teeth were completely sideways when she got them on, and her poor little mouth just didn't have enough room for all those teeth...unbelievable what can be done. I can't believe how much she smiled yesterday!!! Lexlee you are beautiful, and I love you to the moon!!!

***************

Off to the store we go!!!!! Have a fantastic day!!!!..

Back to School!!!

Well, they are back in school now. Bug and Lexlee headed back this morning, and Jibbity starts Kindergarten next Tuesday!! Seems like it has been a fast summer.

Here are their "mugshots"!! I have to torture them every year, and make them hold "the sign". HAHAHA

O.k. I gave them a break, and let them drop the signs. No fancy schmancy hair for Lexlee this year, just straight with the ends curled. Still beautiful though. She is growing up!!

Bug making fun of me for taking pictures, he's a pretty good sport though!

I miss them!!!

I love you two, stop growing up...will ya?

Inspired by Lexlee....

This is Lexlee's post...she is one of the sweetest, most caring, kind, patient, most loving little girls I have ever known, true she is mine...but she is amazing!!! I am grateful every day that she is part of our family!!! I love you little ladybug!!!

My favorite primary song ....and I picked the pictures.

I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE...

I love to see the temple. I'm going there someday to feel the Holy Spirit,

To listen and to pray.

For the Temple is a house of God, A place of love and beauty. I'll prepare myself while I am young; This is my sacred duty.

I love to see the temple. I'll go inside someday. I'll cov-'nant with my Father; I'll promise to obey.

For the temple is a holy place Where we are sealed together. As a child of God, I've learned this truth: A fam-'ly is forever.
First picture...my favorite Temple the Salt Lake Temple

third picture...the Temple closest to our home

fourth picture...the Temple where some of my grandparents were married

fifth picture...where my Mom and step-dad were married

*****************************

Just for fun....

Lexlee wanted me to share this picture and story....

...this picture was taken the day I was sealed to Hunter Dan. It was November 1st, 2003...Halloween(obviously) had been the night before, and for some reason Lexlee was not happy. She wouldn't smile for anything, no matter what was said, and how much laughing was going on, she would not crack a smile. She kept a straight face the entire ride to the temple.(about a half an hour)!!!! What made this the most funny was that here is this beautifully dressed little girl, all dolled up, fancy hair, fancy dress, with......

her vampire teeth in! She was 3.

Have a wonderful Sunday!!!
