Oct Random

A few fun pictures from the month. Levi was a great helper as he loaded up some ice cream from the grocery store. Austin made me breakfast in bed to "make up" with me after having a rough few days. Loved the microwaved eggs and cold toast! We visited Pipa in the Tucson hospital after a few rough days with kidney failure.  Levi doesn't like getting his teeth brushed and also "swallow!" is another command that is frequent.  A typical morning view from me. Austin lost a few more teeth. Jared got a new calling as first counselor to the bishop.  Jared and I went to a murder mystery dinner with Adrianne and Mario Resek. Mom and Sons date to go see a movie, I love how they got all dressed up! We went to Fry's for movie treats (Austin picked out mints and Wesley got bubble gum. I got chocolates and red vines). Cafe Rio with Brittney Cartrette and my mom. 

Ruby 9 months

Ruby is a handful! She is busy, curious, loud, moving everywhere and very happy. When her brothers wake up in the morning, she squeals for them to come over and love on her too. She is slowly pulling herself up to things, which was a surprise to see one morning when I went to get her out of her crib! I love to keep her toes painted, she will keep on her highbrows, she won't let me use the restroom alone without crying, she gets lipgloss put onto her face by Levi when I am still loading up the car, and she is just our world! 

Marley Park activities

Marley Park had spirit week and my boys participated! Nerds, jocks, crazy hair, and pj day too. Wes and Austin also were amazing with their principal's list from last quarter. I was so happy and proud of them. I am so grateful for their work ethics, their discipline to complete their homework in the early mornings (and exercise) and for being leaders in their class. They are great boys.

North Phoenix Temple Open House

Jared and I had the opportunity to be Temple Tour guides for the North Phoenix temple. Our schedule was from 10-2pm and so it was pretty slow, but the few tours that we did have was great and special. It was almost like a day date every time Jared and I went to the temple. It was a bit of a sacrifice with Ruby and work and school and babysitters, but we made it work.  The boys had a nice time when we took them as a family over fall break. We took charter buses to arrive from the Wet 'n Wild parking lot. Levi was thrilled to see "Moroni!" Austin asked why there were beds in the sealing room! It was special to be in the celestial room as a family under the same chandelier. Want us to be together forever and I want my boys to bring their brides to those same special sealing rooms.
