A 'happy' bunch o' cousins

AHhhh Temple Square

We finally made it to Temple Square the last FHE night we were in Utah. I love the pics Jeebs took.
This was a big step up from our last FHE to a Temple. We went to the Raleigh Temple to walk around and got locked inside the gate- Tates said she was never going to the temple again. It was Awesome.
We went inside the Tabernacle and heard a pin drop- wow it's like the architecture was inspired or something. wink wink.
I would pay a lot of money to know what Ezra was thinking here- see his little all-knowing finger?Even though it was an incredible adventure just to get there (which included Jeebs splitting the crotch of his suit pants) and then just to find ice cream after, it was worth it.

Life is so annoying sometimes...

1. The realtor calls the day after we get back from vacation- wanting to show our house in 2 hours or less.

2. The realtor doesn't call to tell us the showing was not postponed only one day, but 5 days.

3. Taylor tells the neighbors we'll watch their kittens for the weekend. (She tried to tell them we would only do it if the kittens stayed at their house, but she only got out "my parents said we could watch your kittens.")

4. My plants I worked so hard to cultivate all summer did not do well while I was gone for 2 weeks.

5. Ezra can not stay out of water for anything- including the green swimming pool and the hose with which I am trying to water. He pulls it off of the plant, he splashes in it as I hold it, he goes to the faucet and tries to drink the spray.

6. I can not get inspired to decorate my master bedroom. Inspiration- money to do it- whatever you want to call it. I think the problem is that I will never pay full price for anything- unless I love it and I don't find many things I absolutely love.

7. Did I mention a realtor wanted to show our house the day after we got back from vacation?

8. I can't forget the fact that I have been so tired recovering and cleaning after vacation that I have no idea what I'm going to do for sing time tomorrow- so...gotta go.

Enjoying a Smoothie

While Cagey and Tates rode rides Ezra sucked down their smoothies. While Ezra sucked down their smoothies Cagey and Tates tried to enjoy a ride.
See their "this is a jipp!" face? Their little airplane was the only one that wouldn't go up in the air. They got the Aldi airplane. Aldi- why do you haunt us?

Family Reunion in 1 Photo

This pretty much sums it up- tired children. But- I have lots more pics so stay tuned...I know you're all waiting with bated breath.

Pioneer day

We were in Utah for Pioneer Day. My mom worked hard to get Taylor and me dresses to wear for Pioneer day. Tates turned out like this- and she was super excited. I have yet to get a picture of myself in mine, but my Primary kids should be very excited. At least for Pioneer Day next year I will definitely have a costume. Yay!

Denver, CO

I'm sitting in the Denver airport and Jeebs and I wish we could just make a break for it and stay here. 62 degrees when we flew in! Last night, I'm fairly certain that I had an attack of crypto- if you don't know what that is scroll down. I am just praying I make it to Raleigh on our 3 and a half hour flight without becoming really well acquainted with the airplane bathroom. I am people watching again- the airport is the best place to do that- I just wonder what other people think when they see me. Am I that noticeable or memorable? Hopefully- if I am memorable, not in a bad way- that would suck. See ya on the flip side! Goodbye Utah and dryness :(
