DATE NIGHT

We usually go out on a date, just the two of us, on F R I D A Y S
But we thought it would be fun to have a family date. I did the girls hair and asked them all to dress up a little. A few responses were "Why, it isn't Sunday?" I reminded them that when I go out with Daddy I try to make it special by dressing a little nicer and taking the time to look my best. The girls were all for it, I even got suckered in to letting them wear a little

We ate out at the K E G
We had a really pleasant evening together. I prepped the kids before hand reminding them of good manners and told them that the best compliment I could get would be to have a total stranger comment on how well behaved my children were, to see the good that I see every day, not just "W O W 5 kids." ( We know what the wow means)

To my astonishment as we were leaving a nice couple that was seated right beside us said, "Wow what well behaved children, and 5 of them!" I saw the smiles this created on my children's faces.
WE HAD SUCH A LOVELY EVENING TOGETHER




I love the look on Emma's face in this picture, oh, and Ethan's


Last Sunday before all the S N O W melted we thought we should create our own snowman. Brian was at meetings and we had so much fun together

"The family that plays together stays together"
(I know that is not the original quote but I really think it is true as well)

  Tender Mercy 08.14.2019 Our dear friend David Higginson who was a missionary in our Ward a few years before Will got his call was so kind to clear his schedule to meet Will at the SLC airport, take him out for lunch and then drop him off at the MTC. Here is what he posted about the experience: This is Will Boehme, I met him while I was serving my mission in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. I had the opportunity today to take Will into the MTC today so that he can prepare for his own mission in Scottsdale, AZ. This is special because August 14th marks another year gone that I began and ended my own mission. . . and it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the experiences I had or the people, like Will and his family, that I met. Amazing how time flies. Good lucky buddy! It really was a tender mercy for us to know that Will wasn't alone as he entered the MTC.  He had a friend who really went the extra mile to feed him, calm his nerves and put a loving arm of encouragement arou

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray
