Twilight Adventure and Scare

This was a picture of a few of my girlfriends and I from the ward that went to the Twilight movie on Saturday afternoon. There were actually 12-15 women that went with us. It was full of laughs and fun times. After the movie was over, a few of us went to the food court in the mall to get some "Linner". This is when the scary part of the story happens. We had just sat down to eat our food when we heard to loud noises. The next thing we knew everyone around us was screaming and running for cover. Apparently just across the food court a gang fight broke out and two people were shot. We were hiding under the tables and surrounding ourselves with chairs for protection. It was VERY scary!!! After a few minutes the security starting evacuating EVERYONE from the mall. Two of the subjects were caught, but the actual gunman was still at large. They police and SWAT team by now were all over the place. They were going store to store searching for the gunman. From the time we got out of the building, to our cars, and out of the parking lots it was almost 2 hours later. Neadless to say, my friends and I are a little traumatized. This is what you see on TV or movies. It was too close for comfort. It was nice to go to church today and find comfort and feel the Holy Spirit. Boy am I glad I have the gospel of hope and peace.

Fever...Blahhh

Today we have taken it easy. Madison and Ashlynn have had fevers today. They have NO energy. We are concentrating on keeping them hydrated. Hopefully it is just a 24th bug and they will be better tomorrow. They both went to bed around 6pm.

Family Fun Center is our favorite place

Learning about Dinosaurs was AWESOME!!!

We Love the Science Center!!!

10th Anniversary in Hawaii

We love our Homeschool Group!

Our home school group is so fun! Ashlynn has been going to the preschool class and LOVING doing art projects and making new friends. Madison takes an Art class, a Math Games class, and Spanish. Her favorite of course is art. Mackenzie's classes are Geology, Messy Art, and Spy Class. Her favorite class has been Geology. She told me on the way home today that she wants to be a Geologist when she grows up. Conner is not in the home school group yet because he still goes to the Christian Preschool. He too really loves learning and playing. I have been totally amazed at how much he's learned at this new preschool. He will be reading in no time. We love learning!

Room-a-round-the-Rosey

Today the children helped me turn Madison's old bedroom into the playroom and we moved her bed up to Ashlynn's room. It was an all day project but we had fun working together.

Soccer Fun

Soccer season has been cold and wet but a lot of fun. Mackenzie, Madison and Conner all played soccer this year. All three of them had loads of fun and want to do it again next year.

To dog or not to dog, that is the question

I'm am excited to start sharing our family adventures. We never have a dull moment here at our house.

Our latest adventure was dog #2 (Cloe). She is a black and white Springerdoodle puppy. She is very sweet. Unfortunately I (Kim) have discovered that I am not a house dog person. I was very stressed and had much anxiety towards her. We have some dear friends in the ward that own Cloe's sister who have excitedly bought Cloe from us. They have agreed to bring the dogs over to play at any time. Mackenzie and Madison are taking it the hardest. Yet, they are starting to understand that mommies sanity is far more important than a dog. Some times we have to learn things the hard way.
