Some times the best things come in two's

Joey and Kristina invited all the family to come see their sweet baby boys and have dinner with them last Sunday. Her Uncle fixed all the side dishes and Joey deep fried 2 turkeys. MMMMmmmm good! They babys look very much a like to me. In fact now I couldn't tell you which one I'm holding in either of the pictures. They are sooo tiny. Now Ethan is like a GIANT!!! We got there about 3:30 and left about 5:30 so didn't over stay our welcome but It was a nice Sunday afternoon.

Sheets, Clothespins, and a little Imagination

Early this morning my very good Friend Trudy, dropped off her daughter Sadie to spend the day with us. Trudy was going to the Temple and we were glad Sadie could spend the day with us.


After about an hour the kids decided they wanted to make a fort, but the old wood we had lying around was icky and had bugs on it. Sadie does NOT like bugs. So I , being the greatest mom ever, grabbed my flat bed sheets out of the closet and headed outside to make a fort/tent.


After ponder a few moments how to do this the A frame of the swing set would be perfect. So I grabbed some clothespins from off the clothes line and walla. The kids have taken some blankets, pillow, games and I'm sure will be out there most of the day. In about an hour thought I told them they could get in the pool. Sadie, kept telling me I was really talented. Out of the mouths of babes! Not! I've just been a stay home mommy for a long time.

Ethan

These are just a few pictures of the many that I took of Ethan playing in his new toy. We've had that little chair from a couple of Christmas' for the girls.



Ethan crawled into the girls room and found when he pushed on the seat it sang songs and lit up. He really liked it.



So I moved it out to the living room so that he could sit in it and play. He'll sit for a long time on it. Mostly because he didn't know how to get out of it. But now he is getting braver and leans down to touch the floor and plops forward onto the carpet. He is sooooooooo CUTE!!!!

It has been WAY to Long

Well, it has be WAY to long since I've posted. I haven't even been keeping up very well with emailing these days either. All Last week I had Cub Camp with Noah. I was on the committee that helped organize and was the music director for one of the activity rotations. Originally it was to be a day camp in Pulaski Tn but with not enough volunteers from that area we moved it to Fayetteville. We also turned it from a day camp to a twilight camp (evening). It was practically a ward activity as we had the Program director, Music (me) director, Crafts director, Archery and BB's director, Den leader, another activity rotation leader all from our ward there running the show. The Bishop even came as a special guest on Monday Evening. It all went super. We had about 40 cub scout and some "Tot's" kids of other leaders there. The theme was space cubs. We had a planetarium show, we got to view a cool space presentation on a HUGE screen T.v thing and then look through a telescope. Well we didn't actually look through the telescope. The telescope was hooked up to the big screen so what ever the telescope was pointing at we could see on the screen. We looked at the moon and saw 2 stars. We were going to see Saturns' rings but it was to hazy out that night. Anyway, lots of neat space things for the boys. All the things we did helped to pass of thinkgs in their books. But by Friday My back hurt and I was glad for it to be over. We ended up being down 1 vehicle as well all last week. Still are as a matter of fact. Anyway, so that meant Chris would drop me and Noah off then I had some one come over and sit with the kids While Chris left for work, then some one from the camp dropped us back off. It all worked out. We finally got the final part for the car today. So hopefully it will be back tomorrow. Other than the usual day to day stuff, there is really nothing new to report.

OH!!! I was called in to the Relief Society Presidency!!! I'm the second councilor over Enrichment. I'm excited and looking forward to serving there. I'm planning our first Enrichment meeting for next month. It is going to be on pioneer day so we are doing some cool things with some music. I'll let you know how it goes.

I hope to get some pictures back from cub camp. I didn't take my camera. I was afraid I would drop it or leave it or the kids would get into it. There was another lady from the ward there who took some pictures so I hope I can get some copies from here. I guess I will go check all your blogs out and see what you have been up to. Bye for now!!!

Pictures at the Temple

I just loaded the pictures of us at the Temple last weekend, but they are all the way at the bottom. They were to big to post up higher on the blog and I couldn't get them to in on this post so you'll have to go hunt down at the bottom. Sorry : (

2nd Coucilor in the Relief Society

Thursday the Bishop came by and extended a calling to me to be the 2nd councilor in the RS. I excepted with excitement. I'm very excited. I've never served in RS before. The whole presidency was re-organized and the new president and 1st councilor are awesome ladies. We had our first pres. meeting today with the old presidency. We are meeting again this thursday after we the councilor and I read up on our jobs. Did I mention I'm excited. Since I will be over Enrichments I will need lots of Ideas. I'm expecting you all to help me out. I was set apart yesterday and had an amazing blessing. I'm now ready to get to work.

Weddings Galore

Well, after 5 months my brothers wedding was only 4 days away when My sister called and said she was getting married the Saturday after Bobby. Since we had family coming in for Bobby and Leanna's wedding and we didn't want to be driving back and forth for 3 days 45 min. each way we were able to stay at a little house in Winchester. The house belongs to some friends of my parents and we stayed on air mattresses but it was quite funtional. My cousin and her 2 kids stayed there with us for 2 of the days. We enjoyed seeing family. Bobby and Leanna's wedding was wonderful at the Nashville Temple. MY dad was there!! That was an awesome hightlight. I took some family pictures of us and the girls outside the temple. I wanted the girls to have a picture of themselves at the temple to put in their rooms so that their goal will always be to marry in the temple. Of coarse that is our goal for Noah as well but I didn't manage to get a picture of him. He must have been wandering around. Anyway, I will post those pictures from the other computer. The reception that evening was beautiful. I sang my song that I had written and recorded for their 1st dance, and I have to say it actually turned out really well. I haven't sung live in a long time. The kids were pretty good for the long day they had. Sunday we went to church at mom and dad's ward. We saw some old and familiar faces and enjoyed visiting. We decided since we didn't have anywhere to be the next morning that we would stay that night as well and visit more with family. On Monday (the Holiday) we stayed out at the Arog's till about 2.

Then we headed to the Jean's house for a cook out that got rained out. We cooked inside. Spent the night at home then headed back to the Argo's on Tuesday to start planning and helping with Tiffany's wedding. It was a civil ceremony at the Bass Club in Winchester. He is a non member, but we are hopeful that he will join the church. Eve was her flower girl, which she was very excited about. She did a great job.

After clean up was done we went back to mom and dads and I down loaded all the pictures I had taken. I did a pretty good job with my camera. Needless to say, we are pooped. I told my mom we were parking it here till the 4th of July shindig. I don't plan on going anywhere till then. (These Pictures are at Tiffany's wedding.)
