My Children

Since 50% of my children have their birthdays within the last 24 hours I thought to comment on them.
I am so very grateful for each of my 4 kids. True they range in age and personality but each is special.
I find myself counting them as 4 of the best things that have ever happened to me. I remember each of their births. I remember, and count myself lucky that I have these, times as each have grown where I have seen them accomplish miracles and great things.
One of my greatest wishes is to be known as a great husband and good father and with this bunch it is easy (at times).
Each has had personal attention in prayer and thought and each is great in their own right.
I will not go into the details of why each is so precious to me here, I hold those thoughts scared, but let it be known that I am proud to be called dad and papa and find joy in my posterity.

Under the sea,in the heat

Just got back from a few days in St George. We went down with some of Nats Family to see Little Mermaid, shop and catch a Temple session.
What a fun time! The play was so so. They changed the story a bit (for the worse in my opinion) But for Boo's first play it was great!
The next day I stayed at the hotel and worked while the ladies went shopping. Fri morning we went to a early Temple session while Boo slept and was tended by Wonderful Wendy.
What a old majestic building the St George Temple is.
I am so grateful for a wife that put this together and who I get to be with forever!

Time Off

So starting tomorrow I get time off from work. Still employed just Vacation time have to use. Nat suggested I use the time to go to "BYU Education Week". So I am.
Last year I really enjoyed it and hope to again this year.
So grateful for a wife that allows me to use some of my time off just for myself.

Mr.Mom

Nat has spent the last 3 days at Girls Camp. She is due home this afternoon. (Yes I am counting down the hours). I have been mainly Mr Mom with 3 year old Boo.

I am so grateful for Wendy (Nat's Sister) who helped out by watching Boo yesterday and Tues for 4 hours (maybe it was 5) so I could go into work. Today I am "working from home".
Boo and I have had a blast!!! We only went out for ice cream once. All the other meals were at home. Mac n Cheese, Roast beef sandwhichs, Apples, what a time. (And some thought I would go to McDonald's every meal)
We played on the swings, cleaned the house (well as clean as I do I guess).
I am so grateful for my relationship with Boo.
Also grateful that Nat will be home in 5 hours, We Both have missed her!
