I just had to include these first few photos because there is really nothing so cute and peaceful as a sleeping baby, even if he is about to slide off the couch. I did adjust him after the pictures so no injury occurred!
Seriously, he has the sweetest little face.
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we decided to take the short trip up to the temple and walk around the grounds. We are so lucky to have this beautiful building just a few short minutes from our house and I feel bad that we don't bring Addy here more often because just even walking outside there is a special spirit.
Also it is pretty great that Addy likes to take pictures and although we might have our heads cut off or be a little crooked, at least we have some pictures of Mitch and I.
And when one baby gets a little too fussy and the other girl starts acting a little too rambunctious, we head home.
After the busy weeks of summer, we really like to lounge on Sunday afternoons. It is for sure the best day of the week and not just because we get to take turns taking naps. We get to spend lots of time with just our family.
We have truly been blessed with some amazingly good friends! Every stake conference we get together for what is now called 'Scone Sunday'. We fry up over a hundred scones and then spend the afternoon eating them. Many times we have some pretty good laughs and this was no exception.
For the last couple months we have started telling stories on Sunday evenings. I'm not sure how it began but it used to be ghost stories in the winter because the sun went down much earlier so we would pull out the flashlight and tell scary stories. On one such evening, Addy started telling us a story and then said, "wait, I want to do it scary" and then she restarted with "Once upon a time..." in a super scary voice. I wish I had that one on camera!
Now that it is spring, bed time comes before it is dark enough for scary stories so we've started doing just pretend make believe stories.
Here are a few of the stories we heard tonight:
(and yes he is probably going to kill me for posting this, but I just couldn't resist!)
I promise I take my turn telling stories as well but they are always MEGA lame and definitely not worth posting!
