Sundays are AMAZING
I have said it once and I will say it again, "I love SUNDAYS!" They are my favorite day of the week. I woke up on Sunday morning and I was barely able to walk. My back was aching. It took me a few minutes to figure out what I had done to cause me such pain. Then I remembered, I had carried Krew around in is front pack while going for a walk the previous day. I was out running around, going to the soccer game and then to Foodland and McDonald's. 6 hours later I returned home and did not realize the error of my ways until the following morning.
So here we are back to Sunday morning with an aching back. I was struggling trying to help the kids. So of course in my head the question of whether or not I should go to church arises. Let's just say I am so glad I decided to go because it is always days like this that you feel like every message was catered just for you. And this Sunday was just one of those days. I could not believe in sacrament meeting the three songs we sang, were two of my favorites and then one of Aaron's favorites. I even thought it a little odd our opening hymn was "I stand all amazed," usually sung as a sacrament hymn, but they had to sing that one so they could squeeze in my other favorite as the sacrament hymn, "I know that my Redeemer lives." Both of these songs have amazing words that bring tears to my eyes and I will never forget watching my dad (whom I love and respect so much) tear up on the stand as a bishop while singing these to songs on two different occasions. Sunday was testimony meeting and I always love hearing people bear their testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel. Gospel doctrine and Relief Society just continued on with wonderful messages reminding me of how to be a better teacher by teaching with the spirit and that "Charity Never Faileth" the motto of Relief Society.
Then as a family we went to the temple visitor center and then on a walk to the beach. While at the visitor center I was trying to take pictures of Kali and Krew was trying to escape out of the stroller. Krew is so strong and pulls him self half way up on things all of the time.
Krew just continues to adore is big sister and always laughs so hard at her no matter what she does. We have also started to notice how much Krew enjoys his fathers attention. At such a young age he always needs to know where Aaron is and wants Aaron's full attention at all times. He loves his daddy and wants to make him proud:)
Kali was running a long the beach and then all of a sudden she saw something move and it freaked her out. We saw it was just a crab, so Aaron picked it up for us all to look at. It was a nice day with the family!

i love sundays, too! and those are two of my favorite hymns, "i know that my Redeemer lives" makes me cry when i pay attention to the words.
I love those pictures!! That's so hard when you're out of commission. I hope your back feels better soon!
i love your pictures! Your family is beautiful.
Wow, you are such a good photographer, great pictures! Sundays are great...sometimes it's hard to feel the spirit at church with little kids running around and trying to keep them quiet, but those moments that you do get are so special!
so i usually just end up flustered after church these days cause it's hot and i never get the chance to pay attention because my girls go nuts no matter what i do, so i am jealous of your spiritual church experiences!
True true..and I love your pictures!
great great pictures! sooo adorable! i love sundays too, even more if i was by a temple or beach! what great pics. krew is getting sooo huge, he almost looks the same size as kali!
