Just One of Those Days

It was one of those days. The kind of day where the rain continually falls, making it the perfect background noise. We snuggled together as a family to tune into General Conference, in our matching shirts that Matt bought for us. Matt got us "give" said the Little Stream shirts. I don't think he intended them for General Conference but we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to wear our matching shirts as we lounged around together.
General Conference seemed to come at a perfect time for me (even though it comes at the same time each year.) I just feel like I've been in a bit of a funk lately, so it came at the perfect time to refill my empty "spiritual well". After conference it was time for our semi-annual traditional dinner at El Farrol's courtesy Matt's parents! Although the food was not up to it's usual standards, I am so happy that Chloe's game was cancelled so I could hang out with the family. And as always while the guys attended the Priesthood Session, the kids and I walked around The Quilted Bear. To top it all off the rain was still drizzling down as we came home. I hope it continues because I love to listen to the rain while I drift off to sleep. See what I mean by just one of those days. Rain, Family, Food, Spiritual Enlightenment. What more could you ask for in a great day??

Can we adopt? Pleassseee!!

While driving home from a family BBQ tonight, I asked Matt if we could adopt. Of course his response was "What the heck...over"! All these munchkins are just so adorable and I love every minute we get to spend with them. Matt suggested we kidnap/borrow them. I guess adopting is too much of a time commitment. Here is Chloe with her baby sister "Ingrid"! She makes an awesome 'big sister'! Matt did say if we kidnapped/borrowed any kids we'd have Chloe take over the night shifts!
Here is cutie pie "Maddison," that is the name we gave her for when we kidnap/borrow her!
This little guy has grown double his size since we baby-sat him and his siblings last week. That is proof that kids just grow up way too fast! This little man is so helpful with his little brother. It is very impressive and could come in handy for Chloe during her night shifts! Two cutie-patooties! I think adding these two princesses to our collection would be fun! Matt thinks it would just be adding trouble!

I guess if we can't adopt, I'll just settle for a new baby kitty!:)

We had a fun time and we wish the Iowa Roblyer's luck with their drive home and upcoming move. Can't wait for Disneyland in 2010, but hope to see you before then!
