Our Weekend

This past weekend was my dad's birthday...Happy Birthday Dad! His only birthday request was for all of us to go to the Temple (mom + dad, Michael + Bekah, and Brian + I). We headed up to the Bountiful Temple Saturday morning and wow, what a special day. We were able to do a lot of work for my mom's family...my grandparents were sealed to their parents and my grandpa was even sealed to his sister. We have a lot more work that needs to be done, but it was a wonderful day to be in the temple with my family! Thanks to Bekah's dad, Jan, for helping us out as well. He's a hoot, and we enjoyed his company!
After the temple, we headed over to the Texas Roadhouse and treated ourselves to some deliciousness. We made our way back home and relaxed with the kids for the rest of the evening...we sure do miss them when we're away (don't get me wrong...it was wonderful to have our own time, but we still miss the kids).

Sunday, we went to church and they announced over the pulpit that 25% of our ward (congregation) was sick with either the flu, H1N1, or strep. YIKES! I'm teaching (okay, more like playing) in the Nursery now and they cancelled Nursery, telling parents that they needed to keep their small children with them. So, we headed home right after sacrament (Better to keep our interaction with the maybe sickly people to a minimum). Michael + Bekah drove down, mom + dad came over, and we had a nice visit with them. Bekah + I took all the kids (minus Dev) on a walk to the park to get some fresh air. They had a lot of fun, and it was nice to chat with Bekah.

Zach. is. still. sick! I don't know what else to do for the kid. I took him back to the dr on Monday and they said they think he has a sinus infection on top of the virus. They gave him an antibiotic and an inhaler (he said he was having trouble breathing) but they said his lungs sound clear. His chest hurts now after 3 weeks of a cough, and I think that is causing most of his discomfort...but no fever. Thank goodness, no fever! I'm hoping he can go back to school soon, but I hate sending him with the thought that he may catch something else and get worse. What to do...well,for now we'll just be getting his make-up work from his teacher and just pray that he gets better soon.

Until next time...love to all, Kim

Here are some photos of the kids I took on Friday
