Captain Moroni: The Armor Of God.

Last Monday seemed to be on of those days that didn't flow very well and we seemed to run into some kind of road block everywhere we turned. It was full of tantrums, from both Molly and Stella, Stella wouldn't ever let me put her down. She is back to not sleeping (I think most of it is due to teething, I'm hoping.) Molly didn't get her nap and is just into everything. Everytime I turn around she has some new destructive and creative idea. It was just not a smooth day for us on the home front. Because of that we opted to head to Wendy's and some Japanese place to pick up dinner. We came home and ate. Stella and Molly were so funny to watch. They just kept looking at each other and just laughing. They have gotten to be good little buddies. Molly kept feeding Stella her fries and she loved them. After dinner we got everything cleaned up and jammies on and then for our FHE lesson we read in Molly's little scriptures about Captain Moroni and how he armed his men with armor before they went to war with Zerahemnah and the Lamanites (Alma 43). We didn't read a lot, but just how the armor protected them. Then we got Molly all dressed up in armor and we talked about how important it is for us to put on spiritual armor, and how we do that by reading our scriptures, saying our prayers and listening to mom and dad. It was short and sweet, and I don't really know how much she got and understood, but as she gets older someday she will get it... I hope. She is so cute and it was fun to see her in the armor, she thought that she was the coolest kid on the block. So for the kind of day we had FHE was actually a nice ending to the evening, and then it was off to bed.

What Have I Been Doing?

Holy cow!!!!!!! I can't believe how much work that that one little work out room was. I'm so glad that it's done. That makes it 3 rooms down and done and 4 more to go... oh kill me! No I really need to focus on what we have accomplished. We have been working on the basement since I found out I was pregnant with Stella. In fact we were working on the basement when I went into labor and here we are 8 months later and still not done. I figure if I wait for it all to be done it could be an eternity. so here are just 3 rooms that we have got done. They were easy and didn't really require a lot of work that is why you will see the other rooms later they have been very labor intense.

Stella Strides!

So Sunday the 15 we were sitting in church and I started to wonder what Stella's teething status was. So I stuck my finger in her mouth and there it was. Still not poking though but it was coming the bottom right! Then two days later on Tuesday the 17 Stella decided she was ready to start crawling, and off she went. She is so funny. It took her about 2 days to really get enough speed to really get anywhere and figure out how to go in the direction she wanted to go (that could be scary if she is like that when she learns to drive) but now she is all over the place. She is sooo funny. She LOVES Molly and she will follow her all over the house and they are just so funny to watch. I can hear them just laughing together. They do the same thing in the car. When they look at each other they just start to laugh, both of them those real deep and sincere laughs. I think that this so far has been one of the funnest mom moments. Stella just adds so much to our home. I can't imagine life without her. What a sweet little spirit she is. I feel blessed to call her mine! Oh I just love this littler girl. Stella has these eyes that seem so wise and thoughtful. She seems to just look right though you and just seems to have this spirit about her. Oh she just makes me melt.

St. Patrick's Day

When we got up. I got some cereal for Molly and we made sure the milk was green. Molly had swimming and we wanted to stop and get some green bread and some St Patrick's cookies. So we stopped and then headed to swimming. When we got home we got the girls all dolled, made lunch for Kris, and decided to go visit him at work. His lunch had a Green turkey sandwich, Green Mt. Dew, Green grapes, and a Green clover cookie. We wrote a not on his napkin (in green) and Molly was so exited about taking daddy lunch. She thought that was so cool! We talked to Kris for just a second because he was really busy, but he did make time to get her some fruit snacks from the back and sneek one more into her pocket for later. When we came home we made a Green lunch for Molly. We put it on a Green plate, she had Green grapes, a Green chicken sandwich, and a Green cookie. She loved it. Later that day I had planed to make Breakfast for dinner, and make it all Green, but Kris was going to the Jazz game so we just did some left overs. All in all it was a really fun St. Patties day. I did have some things I didn't get done, but there is always next year. Happy Birthday Cam! I hope it was a good one!

What A Day!

Man. Where to start. So Sunday my tire was flat because of a screw. Which just put a whole kink in Monday morning. My girls cried all day long. Really no exaggeration. Then I was going to get dinner started and so I put water on the stove to boil and jumped into the shower... Don't worry I was in there for all of 3 minutes seriously. I turn the shower off and I hear this hysterical crying. I grab a towel and head to Molly's room and when I go in there she can't even talk she is crying so hard. I look over and on her rug is a big blob of poop. OH MY GOSH! I look at her and still can't get her to tell me what happened. Let's back up a few days. I got Molly some of these really cute pink pull ups with princesses on them. When I got them we had a talk about how we don't pee or poop in these, and if we do that we got back to baby diapers. Now back to our poopy room... She couldn't get out of her room and she didn't want to get her pink pull ups dirty.... Nice one by me! So now I'm trying to clean up poop and wash the rug and anything else that my have made contact, make dinner, oh ya I'm still in my towel so I still need to get dressed too. and then my teething baby wakes up about that time and will not let me put her down. HOLY COW! REALLY? We decided to go to Costco for FHE to get the finishing touches for the workout room, being as I had set a goal to get this room done by last night. I was going to stay up until it was done. We got home unloaded the car and put Molly to bed. Kris and I headed downstairs to work on the workout room and Stella would not let me put her down. She just kept crying. The poor teething little girl. So I called my amazing sister in law Kerry and she was so nice to come and take Stella for a walk. She will never know how much relief that gave me! I feel so bad that I roped Kris into this and now I can't even help because I can't put Stella down. That was so nice of Kerry to come and help and be (or act) happy to do it! She is amazing HUGE THANKS TO KERRY! Well needless to say that the room didn't get done, but hey someday right? I'm just glad that yesterday is over!

Thanks to My Sisters!

Katheryn and Whitney came up and watched my kids for us while Kris and I had a much needed date night. They are so cute with my kids and I feel lucky that they would drive an hour to come and help me out! Thanks girls!
