temple square

At the beginning of the month Matt and I decided that this year we wanted to take the kids to Temple square and see the lights. So last Thursday we took the kids and met Laura and Blaine and Heather and Scott at the trax's in Sandy. We rode up and then met Jared and Sarah there. It was so much fun!! We had a blast. My favorite thing was that it wasn't very busy! We were able to see the nativity scene from the front. (a first for me!) We went in the visitors center to see the Christus, and saw Rahul's sister who is a missionary there, she leaves this week to go home. (That just made me miss Marchelle!) Then we went around to the front of the temple. It was soo pretty. I think my kids favorite part was riding trax! Curtis keeps asking us if we can go ride the choo choo train again! We had lots of fun! Here are some pics:

the good stuff

I am sorry to say to all of those who like diet drinks....but I hate them!! not the people, the drinks. I want the good stuff! I have been craving Pepsi's lately, and no I'm not pregnant, and in order to avoid sugar... I bought some diet thinking it would satisfy my cravings...but no! Now I have never been a big caffeine/ Coke/ Pepsi drinker. I would drink them here and there, but lately I don't know what has gotten into me...I love my Pepsi! I would love it if someone out their could make water taste like Pepsi, then I could drink it all day!

3 turkey days

Well this year was quite the treat! We had 3 Thanksgivings! On Thursday we went to my Grandma and Grandpa Buttars' house, Friday it was off to Laura and Blaine's, and then Saturday it was with my Parents. The past couple of years Matt and I have bought a turkey to cook because we never get enough leftovers, and this year we bought another one thinking the same...well...after 3 days of turkey we were turkeyed out!!! Have you ever imagined you could be turkeyed out? I haven't....but it happen.
Well we had a wonderful holiday and are so blessed! This is definitely one of my favorite holidays!!!Here is the kids the morning of Thanksgiving.
