Ender's talk

Ender gave a talk in Primary on Sunday. He wrote most of it on his own, and read it by himself. Here is the video (it is hard to hear though, so I included the written talk after the video). He did AWESOME!!!

As it says in Romans chapter 8 verse 16, the Holy Ghost beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.

Heavenly Father wants us to remember we are his spirit children and he wants us to try to be like him.

Sometimes I do not want to listen to my parents and clean my room. But then I remember that I am a spirit child of God and He would want me to choose the right.

I hope we can all remember that we are spirit children of our Heavenly Father and knowing that will help us all remember to choose the right.

Today is my Nephew Jaxon's 7th birthday! We love and miss you Jaxon. We wish we could have been there with you today to celebrate with you. You are a great boy and we are so glad to be your aunt, uncle and cousins. I hope you had a great, fun day!

Love,
Beckee, Wes, Solace, Ender, Armour, & Kindle

Dress

I had to get something that would fit me and look good for Wes's work party. I ended up getting a couple outfits at Wally World. I forgot to take pics on the party night, but on Sunday morning before church the kids took some pics of me in the outfit I wore. So, here are a few.



Leggings...

I bought my 8 month old chunk of a baby some size 12 month leggings, and it was all I could do to get them on her. So in the grand tradition of butt tight 80s leggings, enjoy the following picture.

Armours favorite...

As mentioned in the last post (see below) Armour gave himself a bath. Baths are his favorite, but the poor kid has the most sensitive skin, and it rashes, itches and bothers him after each bath. So, we have to limit baths. But all you have to do is look at his happiness in his snuck bath to know how much he loves it...

Post bath baby

Well, after the mess of the last post (see below this one), I had to bathe Kindle. She hates baths, but after the bath she was all bundled up in her towel, and before I could even put a diaper on her, I heard the bath water running. Armour had put himself in for a bath, and I had to run get him, leaving Solace and Ender with Kindle. There were some very, very cute pictures taken of my baby by her siblings. Enjoy...






Playing with food...

Kindle has this awesome little baby food feeder-well it was awesome until she figured out how to stick her little finger in the bottom and remove it, spilling the food everywhere. Here is a few pics and a video of her after she figured that out the other day...




Thank you uncle Spence!

Spence got a cute princess dress for Kindle. Here she is the first time ever wearing it. Such a darn cute baby-thanks Spence for the cute dress!

Chuck E Cheese

We went to Chuck E Cheese last Tuesday for playgroup. The boys and Kindle had a blast (poor Solace was at school). Here are some of our Chuck E adventures...

Ender the happy passenger

Happy Kindle on a ride (I have almost the exact same picture of Solace at this age on this ride-when I find it I will post them side by side)
Every time it got high she would stare down at the ground as it got further and further away.

Armour had to have a turn too.

Hotel

Last Saturday night I had a secret shop at a hotel. That night we also went over to Scheel's and did some shopping. It was a nice family activity (until we had to go into the room and all be in the same room trying to sleep...) I remember when we lived in this small 2 bedroom apartment last time we lived in Omaha, I really looked forward to staying in hotels once in a while. They were, after all, bigger and nicer than our apartment. Now, though, it is just a pain to go to a hotel...oh well. I guess it just makes me even more grateful for my house. Here are a couple cute pics though...
