Trip to See the Lights...FROM HECK!


For Family Home Evening we decided to renew our tradition of going to temple square with JOsh's mom the first monday after Thanksgiving. Yes...we were just there, but it is tradition! Well, it was a huge mistake. Our kids weren't really interested in going again and were out of control the entire night. Sorry that we couldn't stay that long mom!

My cute mother-in-law. It is always fun to see her since we don't get to very often. Sad to say this is the only picture I got of her the whole night. I was too busy catching naughtiness on film!

Palmer was sulking inside his coat.

Josh is watching the story of Christ in the field, Lincoln is taking a little rest on his head.


A moment where the kids were actually sitting still. They were pretty mesmerized by the story being told by the statue of Christ.

Can you tell from my face that I am totally about to lose it? I don't know what it was about this night but our kids were extra out of control...and that is saying something!

This was actually pretty funny. Lincoln decided to ride in the bottom of the stroller for the night. While I am sure that it did irreparable damage to our stroller, they had a great time.

This picture truly says a million words. Palmer wanted to stand by a random CTR insignia, and Lincoln and Hunter didn't want to be in the picture at all. I think shortly after this there was a 3-way time out. We are getting pretty good at those.

This is the primary tree. I loved that it was done in "primary colors."

I always love to see what they do with the tree in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. This one reminded me of my grandparents. I really liked the spiraled decorations.

Josh took the boys up a level on the conference center so they could see the waterfalls.

Ha! Iknow very well how that goes! It seems like I can't go anywhere with my kids not getting crazy! I need to try different methods of discipline...Like maybe actually have some!
