Perfect Saturday

Today has been such a great day.
 Druw, along with Ashton and a few other boys from the primary were asked to sing at a baptism of a little boy in our ward.The song they sang, was "Armies of Heleman." It is one of my all-time favorite primary songs that there is. So seeim him up there along with those other handsome boys singing  just touched my heart. There was such a sweet spirit felt as they sang those powerful words. Druw and Ash actually sang a duet on the second verse. They did so great!! I'm so proud of  Druw and the awesome kid he is! I know that someday he will make a such great missionary!
Here is a video of him practicing the second verse..... and yes I get choked up every time I hear it. So you can only imagine the flow of tears I had going on when they sang it at the baptism.



 A few months ago Nate and I decided that we want to start taking the kids out on a one-on-one date. We alternate every month, so today I had fun opportunity to take my sweet little McKynlee out on a mommy daughter date. The only thing she wanted to do was go to the mall and ride around on these cool motorized animals. So we did! She drove, and I sat on the back and enjoy the ride. It was so much fun, we had a blast! And I've got to say she's a pretty good driver. After we were done with our ride, We went to a fun toy store in the mall and hung out there for a good half hour. Then we went and ate lunch Zupas. When we were done there we finished the day off with a fun little trip to Hobby Lobby, where I let her pick out a small paint project.I sure love this girl of mine. And I love and look forward to these little dates that we have together every other month.

Because Nate and I waited until the very last day of the month to do our dates, we both ended up doing them today. For their date  Nate took Druw out to eat at Panda Express then to the BYU basketball game. What made this date even more fun was Josh and Ashton joined them!
 Of course Druw had to get a Cougar Tail while at the game.

Starting again....

It's a little ironic that last post on this blog was Announcing my pregnancy with Hailey.  Coincidence, I think not, just perfect timing.  Last night I just started a specific blog focusing on Hailey and her Dravet journey. In doing so, I  wanted to to start this blog up again. Probably because my mommy guilt kicked in and I felt bad doing a blog just for one child while leaving out the other two. I know I'm weird, but that's how I think. My family is my whole world and nothing makes me happier than them. So I know I will enjoy documenting our "family life." Thats what this blog will be all about... Nothing major just posts of the kids and our life at the moment.
