We've had the best Sunday ever!  We slept in.  We woke up to a clean house.  We weighed in!  The All-American Slim Down is off to an amazing start! We had breakfast and got ready for church.  We played games and worked on lessons and church stuff.  I curled the girls hair, and we laughed that I will fix their hair for their wedding day, and then they are on their own.  Emma decided maybe she'd better be my neighbor--so I can still fix her hair AFTER she is married.  Ha ha!

my cute girls....ready for church

Lance was in a good mood, so we skipped his nap.  We all went to church together and sat through the whole three hours.  I took Lance with me to primary.  He was such a good little boy.  During sharing time, the singing leader played little recordings of different dads in the ward singing primary songs.  The kids had to guess if it was their own dad.  It was the cutest thing!  Greg was one of the dads.  I watched Miles and Austin's face as they played his song.  They weren't sure, but I could tell they were thinking.  In fact, they looked a little panic stricken!  Ha ha!  But the song ended and neither of them stood up.  They were still looking back and forth at each other.  Finally the singing leader said, "Their last name starts with a J!"  Then Miles stood up.  He was laughing as he walked to the front.  Austin stood up by him and we all sang "Families Can Be Together Forever."  My boys looked so cute standing tall together.  It was awesome.

Lance all tuckered out from church!

Lance dozed off just as we were saying the closing prayer at 5:30.  I carried him on my lap for the drive home and set him on the couch.  Then we had the yummiest, loveliest Sunday dinner: chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, jello, rolls, corn, salad... the works.  Everyone loved it.  But when I tried to wake up Lance, he would just cry a bit and roll over and go back to sleep.  After trying for a couple of hours, I finally just put his pajamas on and tucked him into bed.  (He slept until 8:30 the next morning!!!).  We had a lovely evening together and then it was off to bed.  I decided that maybe Lance is going to completely skip ever going to nursery in his life.  I might just have him be my primary partner until next year when he is a sunbeam.  So I told the primary presidency I'd love to teach Sunbeams next year.  :)

Owen--we are really into Batman right now.  :)
