I officially have a SUNBEAM and
Addi is in the NURSERY!!!
(we didn't make it to church last week)
This is just crazy to me. I am pulled in 2 directions:
1-my babies are getting so grown up, and that makes me sad!
2- I can enjoy church again...WHAT... no fighting, screaming, and extra anxiety for 3 hours on Sunday!!!
I am so incredible proud of Bridger today. All through sacrament he keep saying "I want to go upstairs." He wasn't nervous at all for the big change. I had been trying to teach him all week long that he is now a Sunbeam and not in the nursery. We would sing "Jesus want me for a Sunbeam..." over and over again. I tried to drop Addisyn off at the nursery (thinking she might be okay because she was use to it where I just got released from my calling), and Jason took Bridge into singing time. His teacher wasn't there yet, so he found him a seat on the front row, gave him 5 and he was on his way! WHAT...no screaming or whining I WANT YOU!!! I didn't quite know what to think when Jason said he didn't hesitate at all. I had to go see my little guy all grown-up and looking so big...sure enough...waiting patiently for him teacher! I had to go give him a hug and tell him to be a big boy!!! Now......Addi on the other hand...(sorry Amber and Dawn-THANKS SO MUCH THOUGH)...she wanted nothing to do at first! After about 30 min. I slipped out and she seemed to be okay. I made a HUGE mistake and checked on her though, and got caught red handed...just when I peaked through the glass she saw me! So it was another 30 min. in the nursery. I left just in time to make RS, although I don't think that I heard much of the lesson worrying that she was crying the whole time...not about her so much-I knew she was in good hands, but about the poor leaders having to deal with her crying! (am I horrible or what)! Anyway, after church they both has HUGE smiles on their faces. I asked Bridger if he had fun, and he said he did. They sang songs and colored. I asked him who was in his class, and he said "Jack." I asked him who else was in his class and he said "someone else." Well Rachel, at least he has Jack!!!
I can't believe they are growing up so fast! I love them so much, and am grateful for GREAT church leaders in our ward. I am grateful for a testimony that keeps me wanting to go to church. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU THAT HELP WITH MY KIDS EACH WEEK!!! I am so proud of Bridger and Addisyn for being such great kids!
My Mom and Dad had got us this beautiful picture of the SLC Temple for Christmas. I had to do some re-arranging of our living room after purchasing a new TV, and this pictures just looked a little lonely on the wall above my couch...so I added this. I thought it turned out really pretty. It is one of the 1st things you see when you walk through my door. Thanks Mom for having such great taste. I love it!
I had to have my car in Rexburg to get worked on the other day, so that meant a day at Chants. The kids were so excited to have each other to play with, and I was elated to be able to hang out with my sister. We had a great day full of fun and excitement, tears and time-out...food and laughter!!! The boys decided that climbing onto the arm of the couch and jumping onto the pillows was the most enjoyable thing to do. Of course Addi wanted to be right in the middle of all the action, and Boston didn't really want to miss a beat either. Addi would climb up on the bar stool just like the boys. We are lucky she didn't get hurt when they landed on her a few time. Chant even took a round at jumping onto the pillows...I didn't have my camera ready for that one! THANKS CHANT for letting us hang out ALL day long. I love you and Logan and Bossi so much.
