President's Day, and Drains!

Justin and I, mostly me, decided on President's Day to take the kids and go down to the new IKEA store in south Salt Lake. It was fun for the most part. That store is HUGE! A lot of contemporary styles. All of the furniture, minus the sofas, you have to put together yourself. It's real wood and the same price as sauder furniture. So for that it's worth it. Justin was very impressed with the book cases, surprise there, and how affordable everything was. I wasn't real excited with the look of the sofas and such. I am more country in decorating, old looking things.
I did however like the wood furniture. They have a restaurant their. Very affordable and good looking food. We didn't wait in line to try it. We did, however, try the hot dogs, (50 cents each) and cinnamon rolls. We went through the entire store without buying anything, until the very end. After the check stands there is a little deli and Swedish goods store. Lots of yummy things to buy their.
After IKEA, we decided to take the kids to the gateway discovery place. It was fun, way overpriced (tree house museum much better and way cheaper) they had fun running around. I stayed pretty much in one place feeding the baby. That's alright.
Justin had never been to P. F. Chang's, so I suggested we go there and share some food. He ordered something and so did I and we shared it with the kids. They have yummy food their.
Fun Day until I decided to call home and check messages. Kelsey from downstairs had called and said that the shower drain was plugged and that water had gotten all over the carpet and was starting to smell. She said on the message that it had happened the night before. Duh, they didn't call until the next night. Would have been nice to know so that we could have cleaned it up.
We got home and had rescue rooter come over. The guy was a complete jerk. Oh my, was he a jerk. We soon discovered it wasn't just the shower drain but was the line under the basement floor that was clogged. He had me in tears thinking that we would have to dig up the floor and replace the entire line out to the sewer. Turns out he just wasn't really trying as hard as he could to get the line clear. He finally got through and after some rude comments from him about everything he went on his way.
The girls in the basement were so shocked about how he was treating me. Justin was mostly upstairs trying to get the kids bathed and to bed so he didn't get to hear the brunt of this jerk.
Anyway, last time we will call them. All is well now.

Sweet Sawyer

I have more postings of my two other children, so I thought that I would add one little one for this guy. This is my baby boy, Maxwell Sawyer. He is such a sweet boy. He is by far my most cudliest and easy going baby. He loves to be loved. He will laugh and laugh for Justin and I. Kendall and especially Tucker can make him laugh too. The other day he decided to just roll over. He is 5 1/2 months old. He did this last week. He does what Kendall did. He rolls over from back to front. He hasn't learned how to do it the other way yet. He is just sweet.

We really are related, honest!

I took some pictues of the kids today for Valentines Day. I had Kendall and Tucker take turns holding Sawyer and then I had them all on the floor together. When I looked at them all together, I just had to chuckle. Because I really don't think they look like each other. I think that they might have some similarities, but they really are there own person. My brother told me a few weeks ago that Justin and I must have a really large gene pool to create kids from. Whomever they look like they are just darn cute and fun!

The New First Presidency

Can I just say that I love President Hinckley and I will miss him terribly. I also love the fact that everything has order in the Church. That we are not left alone and that there is a pattern.
I know that President Monson is called by our Heavenly Father to lead this Church. That his two new counselors, President Erying and President Uchdorf, are also called by inspiration from our Heavenly Father. How fortunate we are to have the blessing of revelation and to know that our Father in Heaven does indeed lead this Church.
I am excited that President Uchdorf has been called. I enjoyed listening to him from the start. He has such a way about him that really had touched me. Of course I have loved Elder Eyring from the time that he was called. I connect with the way that he presents his messages.
President Monson is a wonderful story teller and the way he presents his messages are like opening a new book. It's exciting to see. It will be interesting all of the things that will happen with this new First Presidency.
The Gospel is True!

Aloha??

So I was hanging up some summer clothes that I bought at the end of last summer. Kendall and Tucker came in and saw me and wanted to dress up in them. They wanted to go, "Aloha" as Kendall would put it. They pretended to surf and "hang loose". Fun kids.
