Weekend Round-up

This has been a very busy, very fun weekend for us.

We went to the Memphis Temple on Saturday with our friends, Becca & Billy and their two cute kids, Lucy (4) & Henry (1). We left Little Rock at 5:45am with donuts for the Moms (Billy is diabetic & Jon doesn't do sweets in the morning). We were all able to fit in our van, which made the trip really fun. The kids did a great job. It's a 2 1/2 hour trip to Memphis through a very boring part of Arkansas. We did plenty of chatting to make up for the lack of sight-seeing.

We used one of the rooms at the Stake Center next to the temple for the kids to run around and eat while we each did a session. This was the first session we've done in this temple where it was full. It was pretty exciting to see so many people enjoying the temple at once.

After our time in the temple, we stopped to eat at an Indian restaurant, which Billy was pretty excited about. I wasn't that impressed. Hultz loved the nann bread and rice. They had some fun Indian music playing that Lucy & Hultz danced to. We got home around 6pm and were pretty tired. We're so blessed to be able to go to the temple.

Sundays are long days for our family. First, I should say that we both love our callings. Jon has a day full of meetings. I usually work up a sweat in Primary.

Today Hultz's nursery leader brought him down at the end of church with a great looking scratch on his face. She was really worried and wanted to make sure I knew that it was an accident, etc. She said that Hultz and his friend Olive had started a 'tag' game and that it got a little out of control. I kindly told her that any 'games' Hultz & Olive start should be stopped quickly because they're quite the team. :) I also told her that Hultz is all boy. The new scratch would just match the bruise on the other cheek and the scratches on his knees.

Lastly, Hultz has a new game he plays with his snack after church. He's pretty talented with his Cherrios...
