Seattle Temple Trip

Nicole went to the temple for the first time on Saturday with the youth from the Pt. Townsend Ward with her cousin Regann. My Dad, Gina, Spencer and I were able to attend as well, along with Ryan and Rhonda. (Regann's parents, my brother and s-i-l) While we were in the temple, Matthew waited in the lobby with Mayson, Harmon, Nolahn and Payton. Here are some pictures from the trip and the lunch afterwards.

 This is what happens when you leave your camera with 3 boys who lose their brains when they are together unsupervised.

 Ryan in front of Spencer in front of the temple. He wouldn't move! He thought it was funny. I thought it was funny after he moved, I had a photo and then we were at the restaurant.

It was a wonderful day!

YIKES!

Tomorrow morning I start a 3 week commitment to watch a 4 year old girl and a 2 year old boy for 9 hours a day. I am scared. I haven't watched children that age since my own were that age, SEVEN years ago. Wish me luck...seriously. Also, wish them luck while you're at it. Besides that fact that they are so little, I only have 2 kids. I'm doubling that for the next 3 weeks. To those of you who have more than 2 I know it's not a big deal, but try doubling your capacity with age groups you have not had in your life for a long time...YIKES! Ok, forget luck, PRAY FOR ME!
