My Prize

Went to the doctor today, and this is what I got, in lieu of a sucker or sticker.  A new faucet is SO much better than a  sucker. Pin It

Preview Halloween 2014

 Costumes in the making.  The girls wanted to try their costumes on to see how they fit.  I'm excited about how they turned out.  And that the weather was warm enough for the Elsa dress.
Delta decided shew anted to be Anna, and Emma wanted to be Elsa.

Made the snowflake hair pieces for Emma's costume.  I wanted it to be something that would be fun, but not "out there".  So I found some clear snowflakes and glued them on bobby pins with jewelry glue.  They turned out really cute! Pin It

Night Swimming

Last night we went swimming. The kids had a blast! I didn't swim, but watched them and read my book (The Shadow Throne, the final book in The Ascendance Trilogy).
My favorite time was when they went outside and swam in the dark.  It looks so amazing with the lights under the water.
Tony is a great dad. He loves to swim with them,  and teach them techniques and strokes. He also plays with them. It's fun to watch.

Ogden Temple Open House

We went to the Ogden Temple open house.  It was great, and busy. Mimi and Papa were working there as ushers, so that is why we picked this day.

 We spent a lot of time standing.  It was slow going.

        The girls asked why the temple has so many flowers. 

They asked if it was to make the temple more beautiful, or to make is smell better.

We decided we would have our picture by the fountain.

Of course the girls were the only ones who would stand in front of the Christus.

After we were at the temple for 2 and a half hours, we decided to go eat dinner at Lucky Slice Pizza.

They didn't hand out cookies like at the Brigham Temple open house, so we went and bought some sugar cookies and muffins for Sunday breakfast.
