Our happenings this week...

Jared got to go to a cardinals game in St. Louis this weekend. Carfax chartered 3 big busses that hauled all their employees to the game and back on Thursday. Then on Friday morning Jared headed back to St. Louis to a computer geek conference. It's been a long weekend for me here at home.
Isabella having fun at the sprayground at Stephens lake park. We had so much fun yesterday!
Tommy, Mason and Isa
Rusty Gordie
My little Gord.
And, of course, the Shugies, wearing their shugie visors.
Little Russ couldn't wait to go to the lake. He decided to try on his innertube toy while we were still in the van.
We went to Bass Pro yesterday before the lake to pick up some supplies.


They had free fishing for kids, but unfortunately, no bites.
Mary with her new american girl doll "Lucy". (Yard sale $10)!
Bath time fun. Russell, Mason, Samuel, and Thomas.
Rusty has been pushing around this yellow tonka truck. He rams it into my ankles all the time. I was standing by the stove making dinner when I felt the strike behind me on my ankles. Ouch! Jared called over to me, laughing, "Don't you hate it when he does that?" Then, Jared came over to the stove to help with dinner and Rusty struck him from behind as hard as he could! Satisfaction. LOL
My sweet stay at home buddies looking out the window on a rainy day. I love being a Mom.



I got released from my calling of teaching the 16 and 17 year olds at church today. I was very sad to let go. I love each one of those kids. It was a pleasure teaching them. I got called to be a primary teacher, though I haven't found out what age group I'll be teaching yet. I can't wait! I love smaller children (can you guess why?)!

St. Louis Temple

We got to go to the temple together!!! I am so glad. We usually take turns because it is so hard to leave the kids. It takes us two hours each way, plus the time for the session. Thanks for babysitting Weezie! We had a great time. It was so nice to feel the peace that is in the house of the Lord.
