So I just thought that I would snap a picture of my little trouble makers while I was giving them a bath the other day. They are a handful, but I can't imagine life without them...although I bet it'd be a much quiter one. Either way I wouldn't trade it!
So I've been waiting a long time for lilli to have enough hair for me to actually be able to do something with! Well I know it's still not much, but I was super excited to finally be able to pull the hair that she does have into these two cute pig tails! It's a slow process, but we're getting there and I'm getting excited! So Jamie if you are reading this, I'm going to need you to show me some things I can do with little girls hair the next time I'm up in Utah! But anyway I thought that she looked so beautiful in these pics so I wanted to share! She's getting so big! (sad)
So I like to think that I am pretty clever...I wanted to put lilli down for a nap but she was adamant that she wasn't tired. I decided to pick my battles and came up with a little plan. It's one I like to use actually quite often an oldie but a goodie. I'm sure many of you are familiar with it. It's called put on a movie and wait. So Lilli-bean, as we like to call her, was watching 101Dalmations I went in to check on her after about 10 minutes and like clockwork, she had fallen fast asleep in her chair. How cute!
So finally! Chris and I got some alone time! My wonderful mother who is the best in the world offered to take the kids for the weekend so that Chris and I could go away for a mini vacation. So we decided to stay a little close to home and I decided to start getting Chris familiar with Texas history so we went to San Antonio! It was so fun!! We rested, got massages, and just wow got to have a conversation without the constant interuption of "mommy, daddy..." Unfortunetly the rest of our pics our on Chris's blackberry. But anyway a little time away did wonders! Thanks mom!

A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)
