Temple

 It was the first +20 degree day we have had this year... It was wonderful! I find it so much easier to get up and get going when I know it's a beautiful day. So we were ready for church early, so we decided to head to a minute early and take some pictures in front of the temple.With it being down the street sometimes I think I already don't take the time to really look at it! I can not even begin to express how excited I am for it to be done. They informed us a bit more about the open house plan today in Sacrament meeting. 

So this is my first invite...

 if anyone out there reading this does not belong to the same church as I do...

 (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)  

the open house will be sometime around the end of September. And I would LOVE to go with you.. once the temple is dedicated you are still more than welcome to come, you just have to become a member of the church  ;)

And since I had my camera out today I actually got around to taking some pictures!

Jord got home LATE Thursday night. Friday night the girls went to a sleep over and Jord went on a date... It was one of my favorite dates ever. It was nothing super exciting, it was just easy and fun. We laughed and joked, and walked thru the mall holding hands. Nasty Taco Bell followed by yummy gelato then we washed the truck and finished up at the mall. I love my husband. I was nice to have him home. We had to drop him off at the airport again right after church today. He is almost landing in San Diego now, but thankfully this is just until early Tuesday morning.

Steph's Questions

My Questions:

1. What is your favorite genre of music?
I can't really answer this question.... alternative, pop, country,little bit of everything. I never really loved music growing up. It was't until I was "alone" that I started loving it. I would sit on iTunes for hours at night alone. It comforted me when I was alone. I used to always have music play in the house when it was just us girls. I think music is SO profound... there is song that now that I am re-married can not listen to.. to may memories! I LOVE music now!

2. What is your favorite book you have read?
I'm not a big reader.. SO for now it will just have to be the Twilight series, It the first set that I really loved!
3. Which would you choose... Chicken or steak?
STEAK!!!!!!! A big juicy medium rare one!

4. If you had one day to do anything you wanted to do, go anywhere you wanted to go, be with anyone you wanted to be with and spend as much money as you wanted to... how would that day go?
I would go to some beautiful beach with my husband and my girls. There would be someone in charge of bringing us food, so I wouldn't have to worry about what to feed the girls. And then at night I might have to do some kinda a shopping ;)

5. If you could change ONE thing about yourself (physically, emotionally etc.) What would it be?
I would change my self image... I hate that I beat myself up. I would give anything to be a confidant person and love myself! Also take to love handles away;)

6. What is your favorite color combination?
LOVE Nautical! Navy and white never get old to me...pu them together in a stripe pattern and I can't resist!

7. Where would be your dream location to live for the rest of your life?
I don't know yet... I haven't decided, but I'm leaning toward some land somewhere where I can send my children out to play for the day without worrying

8. What is your biggest fear when it comes to raising your family?
That I am not doing a good enough job. That my children don't know how much I love them. That my husband doesn't now how much I appreciate and love him.

9. If you were in a park and someone was screaming for help, what would you do?
Run away!!! hahaha Seriously being honest I think I would be to scared to help, sad hey?!

10. If you and your spouse were about to get your first pet, what would you get and what would you name it?
Let pretend that we were, and that we chose this pet together... In my dreams Polo does not exist :) So we would get a loved family dog that works for all of us. I don't know what we would name our loved family pet... not Polo

11. What is your perfect day in? You know... a day on a cold, rainy day.. what would you do?
Either re-finsh some great old piece of furniture or just lay in bed with my family and watch movies


Fyi- Blogger is being gay and wont let me change the text... so that's why it is all over the map!!! Stupid thing

Girls Movie Night

Tonight the girls and I pulled out the hide-a-bed, popped some popcorn
and turned to Netflix ...
Ramona and Beezus
I remember reading the books when I was younger. Little did I know it would explain my two girls to a T! Brooklyn is proper, beautiful and kind and aware of her surrondings and others feelings. Georgia is marching to her own BEAT! She is cute as a bug and FULL of spunk!
I loved just enjoying the night with my girls. I don't do it often enough. By the end of the movie Georgia was cuddled right in my arms and I loved it. Brooklyn is now asleep out in the bonus room and Georgia is hopefully asleep in their room.
I pulled out the camera cause I haven't been doing it often enough lately.
I LOVE looking back at pictures, so I need to remeber to take them!!!!

You can tell she loves getting her picture taken?!

Showing me how mad she can make her face... I still think she's pretty cute when she's mad

Blurry.. it's hard taking self portaits without a small camera.

Brookyln giving us a "Taylor Swift heart" and Georgia trying to be as cool as her big sister ;)

Just us girls

Mr. Wood is in Ecuador. This is his forth year going for a medical mission, they go over there and do hip replacements. He left on Tuesday morning. We miss him. I miss him more than I ever have before. When he went last year we missed him, but we were just engaged so it's not like he was always with us. I know how to be alone... but it takes a few days to get used to him not coming home at night. I excited for him to come back! He is a loved man around here!

So the girls and I are for the most part enjoying our time alone. Last night the girls went to a birthday party... I spent some time alone at the mall... found some good deals on stuff I didn't need;)
