Mel gave Hallee a snuggy this week and for some reason Hallee calls it her "tut tut." It took me a while to figure out what she was talking about.
The kid's school puts a lot of pictures up of the kids on facebook, I love it! Here is one of Caitlyn during battle of the books.
Here is the winning team! Caitlyn is excited for her district battle this week.
Wednesday night was New Beginnings. Caitlyn is so excited for Young Women's. We got to introduce Caitlyn (I made Keith do it). We had a couple of speakers, it was really good. Our Young Women's president is amazing and does such a great job.
We had fun spending the night with Caitlyn. After the program I was talking to one of our neighbors about trek and we started talking about our ancestors and it turns out that my grandma and her mother are first cousins (she went home and researched it). Small world.
On Friday Hallee and Wyatt wanted to have a pretend campout in the front room. You can see the fire next to Hallee. We pretended to roast marshmallows and then Wyatt read us a book before bedtime. Unfortunately if I lay on the couch for very long I fall asleep, so I fell asleep!
Wyatt and Caitlyn have been good buddies this week. Caitlyn loves spending time with her siblings and gets excited when they want to spend time with her. On Friday afternoon I found them in Wyatt's room like this.
They both had their scriptures out and were researching their questions. They would come up with a question, look up scriptures on it, write the scriptures down and then write what they learned and what the answer to their question was. What?!? I was so impressed!
We had a really busy week with a lot of church meetings and activities. Sometimes all of the activities and commitments is a big source of anxiety for me. When I am having a lot of anxiety I have to keep my schedule to the bear minimum, but luckily this week I was not having a lot of anxiety and I really enjoyed all of our activities. On Friday night Lesli and I took some girls to the temple to do baptisms. It was a great night. It was Emily and Evie's first time so they were a little nervous, but so excited. They loved it and can't wait to go back. I loved being in the temple with them and sharing that experience with them. I really do love my calling in Young Women's. I'm feeling more and more comfortable all the time. After the temple we went to Wendy's and had fun visiting while we ate. It was a great night, I love these girls. I love that all of the teenagers I know are amazing, it gives me hope for this crazy world!

I loved the post! Such cute pictures of Caitlyn and her with Wyatt looking up answers to questions in the scriptures! You're doing a great job of teaching them! Looked like a fun camping out experience. I love your children's creativity!
What great kids you have!
