What a weekend!!!

Well I have found a quiet moment to sit and update. Yes it is 12:30 am but when you are the mother of six wonderful children, wouldn't you rather be playing with them too!!!!

This weekend we have had a blast having my parents come down to visit!!! Allison our 2nd oldest had her 8th birthday and was Baptized. So Grandma and Grandpa came down to witness this special event. What a wonderful feeling we had. Allison was so excited to be baptized. She told everyone that she saw. She invited every one of her friends( she is a great missionary). When she was baptized she said while she was getting dressed that she was so cold that she was shivering. How sweet for her, knowing that soon she would have the Holy Ghost given to her and descend upon her, helping her to make decisions in her life. As she becomes older and more mature, I pray that I might continue to be a good example to her that she may gain a stronger testimony and follow the Savior because she wants to. I love my children and think that they are all sweet spirits sent down from Heaven to live here on earth.

For the 4th of July we sat around with my family and played out side with the kids watching them do funny things. Ok so we also watched Grandma be funny:) Her is a sample of what we did!!!!!!! I hope the video will upload? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6hXFMAdS3Q

We also waited until dark and them watched the sky light up with fire works. The kids had fun with Sparklers and such. Them we came in and went to bed it was late.

Monday we had a slow start from being up late. But by noon we left to go to the lake and have some water fun!!!! The kids played on the beach and built sand castles. They swam in the water and little Micheal he carried around a bag of chips and shared with every one.

I had to leave and Take Joseph to see the Dr. which was sad because Joseph just wanted to stay. We did hurry back and played for about another 2 hours. When I got back Aunt Sally and her girls were there as well. Just imagine 2 grandmas and a mommy out in the lake having a blast and being guffy!!!! It was great!!! What a grand day we had!!! I wish that we could do this more often. After the lake we headed back home and Grandma and Grandpa stopped and got Pizza for everyone and we came back and had dinner. Now all the kids are being processed for bed and we are in for a quiet night!!!!
