Highlights
Here are some of the highlights of our week:

1. 'How to train your dragon' pretty much on the big screen. Big thanks to the England family for bringing their awesome projector over (and for the Dyers for coming too!). I really want a projector now! What a perfect way to watch a movie at home & we finally found a use for our big, blank wall. Um, let's do it next weekend too :)


2. Birthday, cupcakes & friends

3. Super craft Saturday for Relief Society. I'm not going to lie, because as uncrafty as I am, these four things kinda stressed me out! But after being there from 9-3 I finished them all & I'm proud of myself for sticking it out! Plus good food & company is a plus!



4. Card game playing with a 2 & 4 year old for a couple hours before church makes for some funny conversations.

5. Candle-lit dinner with my favorite people in the world. On my mission there was this cute family in one of my wards that told me they would turn out all the lights, light a bunch of candles & have dinner as a family like that once a month. I have been in love with that idea since then & I told my big boys about it the other day & Hyrum suggested it this evening. Here's to another tradition :)

6. The Bug telling Emma (while wearing her 12 month white blessing dress she wore as a 4 month old to church today) over & over again 'You're so pretty Miss Emma' while stroking her head. Sigh, so cute!


7. My hot husband! My Dad said that Jeremy deserves a medal for this week & it's true, I went Halloween shopping on Wed, Enrichment on Thurs, friends on Friday & all day Saturday crafting. He took care of the kids the whole time & put them to bed by himself most of the nights this week. And he never complains & always encourages me to go out. He's the best & he makes me laugh a lot too.


8. And my favorite video of the week of my favorite kids

Yay for Jeremy! I am glad he is such a great husband. It's nice knowing that you can leave your kids and not worry at all! I would laugh to myself when people would see me by myself when the girls were babies. They seemed shocked (or somewhat anyway) that Lee had ALL the kids. Too funny. CUTE crafts!!!

Sounds like a way fun week! Yes, I love the "you sure have your hands full" line. I use to say "better full than empty" but then everyone started telling me infertility stories and I just felt bad. I sometimes can't believe how lucky I really am. I mean I would much rather be wrangling all four of these little ones than to be dealing with that heartbreak! It was funny though the other day a woman that had two small kids walked up to me, patted me on the back and said bless you and then walked away. I started laughing! I am sure once they are all older it will be better. My favorite is everyone asking me if I am done and I say probably not they are all shocked. Even in Utah! It is always crazy!

I agree that having twins 3rd and 4th is better than 1st and 2nd. I think that I would have gone CrAzY having them first with the whole first time mom learning curve. Plus my big boys are such a good help. We really are twins hu? Kinda twin twins... Maybe that is how I will refer to you when talking to others :) But we have other things in common like my oldest is named Turner- your maiden name is Turner. He is named after my Dad (his middle name) which was my grandma's maiden name. So maybe somewhere we could somehow be related? Plus my dad and brother both went to UofM for dental school... We may even find more similarities if we met! Someday!
