CRAZY!

I had to post one more picture from our family reunion. These are the grand kids with glow sticks. They had so much fun with them!

In other news. Nursery is sorta crazy! Today this little girl bit one of the older boys. Where you may ask? On the side of his head, by his eye. I should ask his mother if I can take a picture! Wow, that is all I can say. And, ask for some fun ideas. Today we played with balloons, I have about 2 more ideas before I run out. I hate when they just pull out all the toys to just spread them all over the place. I am trying to mix it up a bit. So, nothing messy, but if you have any ideas, please impart!!

Family Reunion 2011

We Wrigley's don't do anything too exciting, but it was fun. Here is all of us on top of the conference center (or most of us anyway). We had a tour, fun!


The church history museum has a children's section. If you haven't been there lately, go! They have these skirts you tie on and the boys get vests and they have 2 screens with dancers to teach you a dance! And a bunch of other stuff we never got to because TD stayed here 1/2 the time!

Isn't the reflection pool for playing?

This is my favorite. We took family pics at the Logan temple and this is my parents just talking, they didn't even know I took it. They are so cute!!

This is what these 3 boys did most of the time, all weekend, in the basement mostly with a cool car track that sends the cars flying around curves. TD was in Heaven!

It was fun overall. We all got sunburnt at the water park, roasted marshmallows visited temple square, played with glow sticks, shot off fireworks, the kind that are illegal in Idaho!

Grace

The other day while Thaddeus was napping Grace and I played pretend. She wanted to be a princess. She came to me with a doll stuffed up her shirt and told me she was going to have a baby, well, I figured this was as good a time as any to start on the morality talks. I told her she had to get married first. "Okay, let's get married" I hope it doesn't count that I am her mother and a girl, we'll work on that lesson later.

So, we go the the closet, the 'temple' and get married. She proceeds to place the doll under her shirt and tell me she's going to have a baby now :) We have the baby and then we have to take her to the doctor so we drive to the fireplace and she has a conversation something like this with the 'doctor' (herself). "Well, she's really sick" "Yeah, she's really sick and will have to stay her for 5 years" "Okay, we'll go home and come back and bring her breakfast and get her" :) Wouldn't that be weird to leave your kid in the doctor's office for 5 years!!







This picture is of Thaddeus trying to dress himself. I told Grace to go get dressed and he took it upon himself to get a shirt and pull it up his hips :) He came to me while I was brushing my teeth and I almost busted up, spraying toothpaste foam everywhere!! He wouldn't let me get him dressed either, he kept saying "drest" and pointing to his shirt/pants!!

The Temple

Grant and I live 2+ hours away from the Spokane Temple. It takes almost 5 hours of travel time, 2 hours in a session and then an extra 1/2 hour to get lunch/dinner. We thankfully have found some friends who trade babysitting with us so we can go every other month. Well, we had the priviledge of attending a session yesterday and it was wonderful! I read Ensign articles about people going to the temple and getting answers to their questions, some of them as if it was written on one of the walls in the Celestial room! But, I have yet to receive one answer there to any of my questions. The only thing I receive is this calm feeling that no matter what happens in our life, which a lot has, everything will be okay. I think that answer is ever so perfect for me. If I got a specific answer I'd probably be too stubborn to actually do it, I know, sorta an oxy-moron. The thing that means the most to me is that comfort. Again and again that seems to be how our Heavenly Father speaks to me, it is going to be okay. And, it will be.
