The kids we able to do some fun things this week!

• Brynn's preschool group went on a field trip to the Fire Station in West Jordan this week. Luckily one of the firefighters that work there lives in our ward so we got a fun, personal tour! I couldn't believe how much Bodee LOVED the fire trucks! He is 100% boy and couldn't get enough of the big trucks.

• Brynn's preschool group. 

• On Tuesday evening instead of our regular Girl Scout Meeting we joined a Girl Scout Activity for 'World Thinking Day' at the roller skating rink in Orem. Addy and Brynn have ice skated a few times but they had not yet roller skated. After falling down over and over again they got it! By the end they were slowing skating around the rink all by themselves without any help. The skating rink allows scooters and we brought ours but both girls would not take their skates off. They really wanted to learn how to skate and kept working hard at it. I was SO proud of my girls! 

• I forgot to get a picture of the whole troop but Addy's friend Emma rode with us so I got a quick picture of the three girls. 

• Last Sunday evening the girls got to have a sleep over at their cousins Sage and Ellie's house. It was Brynn's first sleepover somewhere besides Grandma's house and she did great. They both came home tired but so very happy!
• The lucky girls were also invited to their other cousin Jane's house on Friday night. They played, watched movies, went on a treasure hunt (thanks Uncle Trent) and ate lots of yummy food. We can't wait to invite our cousins over to our house next time.
• Friday night while the girls were gone Todd and I participated in a 'Progressive Dinner' with our ward. We hosted so we didn't have to move from house to house but we really enjoyed our evening. It was great to get to know couples in our ward that we had not yet talked with and spend time with those couple we know a little better. 
• The Girl Scout Cookies came this week! It's a lot of work to be the Cookie Mom but the cookies sure are good:)
• On a sad note, Todd lost his job this week. We are looking at the great blessings in our lives and know things will work out. We are just praying to know what path to take.
• On a positive note both Todd and I were able to attend the temple this week. We attended separately so the other could watch the kids but it was a very spiritual experience for me. I am so grateful I have the blessings and knowledge of the temple in my life. I know the Lord has a plan for our family and I am so happy to know he is looking over us.
