Needless to say I was not able to change from the dress I wore to the Temple until I got home at 7:30pm. Twelve hours in a dress and hills, not great on a pregnant woman's body!

The Temple was wonderful. I love sealings, it helps you remember your own sealing. It was such a blessing to be able to participate in my Dad's. He past away 2 years ago and my Aunt Barbie (my Dad's sister in the picture below) helped us so much in getting his work done. She and her daughter Robin were able to come to share the day with us. My parents were also able to come and do some sealings with us. It was great to be in the Temple with my brother and sister, sharing something that has been so important to us for so many years. I remember as kids we would write our testimonies in Book of Mormons and give them to my Dad in hopes that one day he would come back to the church. Before he died he was doing all he could to come back and just didn't have enough time. It was such a great feeling to sit in the Temple and know that all his blessings had been restored and know that is what he wanted.

Only 2 1/2 more weeks!!! Can you tell we are a little excited?

Brock's football game was a great one! We have not had a very good season. Even though they have not won a game they still go out there and try their best. Brock has really enjoyed playing and it shows. He pays attention, watches and learns. His coach saw it as well and started to play him more. Through the season Brock had a couple near touch downs, but never quite got there. Well, that was until Saturday May 2nd, 2009. He scored his first touch down with only 2 seconds left in the game. They won their first game and Brock was beaming from ear to ear! I got a few pictures of the beginning of his run but got too excited that I started jumping up and down and forgot to keep snapping. His face as he walks over to us after the game says it all. I love that our little Kiki is so excited for him also.

Let's Play Music, I love the program!!! Miss Chanda is a great teacher. I can't believe how much Kenley has learn in the last three years. She ended the year composing her own song and playing it from memory. She really did a great job! Brody started his first year this year and played the bells in his program. They sang a bunch of fun songs that help them to learn rhythms and sounds of notes and chords. Before we left Brody said "I'm worried I might have stage fright". It was so cute, he got right up there though and had not a worry in the world. They both did so good preforming.

It was a crazy day and I was pooped by the end but I loved every minute!
