9 weeks

Highlights from the past week:

-We had our primary presentation yesterday and the kids sang GREAT!  Much to my relief after some awful practice sessions.  Deakon did so much better than he did at the practices.  He has known his lines for weeks and has no problem saying them... he just didn't want to sing or stand still or NOT play power rangers with the other boys in his class.  In the actual presentation I'm told he sang... mostly and stood still... mostly.  I'll take that.  His lines were "The scriptures are the word of God" and "I hope they call me on a mission"  He got mad at his teacher during all of the practices because she would try and help him.  "I KNOW MY WORDS!" was furiously whispered several times.  I was also told by him (during the songs on the practice Sunday before), "I hate singing."  "Can we please go to primary now?"  AND "Can I PLEASE have a piece of gum?"  Overall, I was very proud to be his Mommy yesterday.  He looked and sounded like a stud.
-Kyle and I went to see Breaking Dawn Part 1 on Saturday.  We took Quinn and she slept the whole time.  I got some dirty looks afterwards... and I might have shot them right back.  She didn't make one single peep the entire 2 hours.  It was fun to go out.
-Wednesday I dropped my boys off at Tanya's while I had the next 4 hours boy-free!  Quinn and I ran into Calgary to buy Deakon a new clock that changes colors when he can get out of bed (is working pretty well!), took a shower, and surprised Kyle outside of his work to pick him up and go to lunch.  It was awesome.  We used to do that 2-3 times a month when we lived in Utah on the days we both worked and we loved it.  I dropped him off and went to do some blood work and apply for Quinn's birth certificate before picking up the boys.
-We had our own little version of American Thanksgiving yesterday. (ok, we just made up an excuse to get together and eat)  We had ham, funeral potatoes, salad, sparkling juice, and cherry delight (no bake cheesecake).  It was so good and I ate way too much.  Kyle invited Justin and Jake Kerr to come eat and it was fun to have them.
-That is all I can remember... I have 10 minutes before big and little baby wake up so I am hopping in the shower! 

 These boys love their sister!

 This picture doesn't do it justice, but she has such a CUTE smile!  They are rare, but extremely satisfying!

 Tried to get a picture of the cousins after our version of American Thanksgiving...  The dads were no help.
