Go West: to the aquarium

We love the aquarium. We're sad that our memberships had expired, but the kids had a great time with their cousins. We'll have to make sure that we get some good cousins group pictures tomorrow. Briton loved the fish. Abby loved the company and the fish.

Go West: to friends and cousins

Last night we had some cousins and friends over to my parents house. It was great. We had in one room 8 2009 babies. (There were only 3 non-2009 kids.) There isn't much better than a room full of babies:)

This is me and 3 of my closest friends with our 5 2009 babies. It was almost as hard to get the 4 of us looking at the camera as it was to get all the kids to look.

My favorite comment of the night was Holli's: "Wouldn't our lives have been a lot easier 7 or so years ago if we could've seen this picture?" (Those were the "Will we ever get married?" and "I'll be too old to ever have kids" days.)

Go West: for a decent haircut

I am not too talented at haircuts, but my mom really knows what she is doing.

It was just a trim, but I sure think she looks cute.

Go West: to Idaho

We went up to Bekah and Lance's and had a great time meeting our newest nephew, Carter. We really love him.

The kids also loved Ace.

We had a great time!

My Favorite Thought from Church Today

Temple attendance is to time management as tithing is to money management (i.e. if you don't have enough money, pay your tithing; if you don't have enough time, go to the temple).
