Someone finally took me up on their offer to watch their kids while they went to the Temple. Nathan had some aunts, uncles, and cousins in town this weekend and we volunteered to watch the kids so all the adults could go. We had 5 extra kids all 3 and under (including 1 year old twins) and everything went great! The kids had a great time getting to know their cousins better.
Brooke tried to read some books. Lucy only lasted a few minutes.
We played outside on our nice big deck. Nathan enjoyed the twins, Ben and Alex. Although, I can't tell you which is which....Rigel??
Of course, everyone got hungry and we had to have a snack.
Later we had dinner together with everyone at the hotel. Victoria gave the girls
mani/
pedi's in her room after dinner. I couldn't believe the amount of nail polishes she brought with her! She will be the girls new best friend.
Everyone was trying to decide where/when to go to church on Sunday. We told them they would want to come to our ward because a special visitor was rumored to be there. But, our ward met on the other side of town as they were staying and started at 9 am. So, none of them made it to our ward, but I'm glad we did! Elder
Bednar was visiting his son and his family who are in our ward. We didn't get to hear from him during Sacrament Meeting because the testimonies went over. The Bishop announced that he and his wife would be meeting with the Youth and the leaders for the remainder of the meetings. So since Nathan was just called to be Young Men Secretary, I decided to join him in meeting with the youth. It was such a wonderful opportunity to hear him speak. Even though his words were directed to the youth, I felt like some of the things he said applied to me. At the end of the meeting, I went to shake his hand along with his wife. It was such an awesome experience!

Oh Erin, I love those pictures! It's fun to see a little bit of what was happening on the "other side"! Thanks so much again! The funny thing is that at first I could barely tell my boys apart in this picture! haha The one on nathan's right is Alex and Ben on his left! And I'm so glad you loved the pictures! They are all done! Now, it's just a matter to send them to you.
That is great you could watch the kids so that they could go to the temple. Very neat you got to hear Elder Bednar.
