Mom's Birthday

Severin is the hewhocannotkeepasecretifhislifedependedonit sort of kid. For 2 weeks he has been so excited for my Birthday. He would say "oh mom you are going to love what we got you for your birthday"
me:* oh really*
 Sev: "yeah but I can't tell you so don't even ask"- then laughs hysterically
This is the reason:

The bum is on a spring so it wiggles when you move the card. Like it is shakin it's booty

You know you are a boy mom when your Birthday cards include body parts or bodily functions. Maybe someday Neleh will get me a fluffy, sappy card. But *not BUTT* for now we will get a good laugh.

Provo City Center Temple Dedication March 20, 2016

When Neleh turned eight, she was most excited about being old enough go to the Temple Dedication. In addition we were able to go to the Temple and see the Brides Room on a special Mom and Daughter Tour. They asked for no talking but she had questions and I had so much to tell her. So I ended up carrying her through the Temple so we could whisper in each others ears. At the end of the tour they had our Bishopric hand each girl a white hankie with the Provo City Center Temple embroidered on it. Neleh was so proud, now she had a white hankie for the dedication. I do not know if she will choose that Temple to be married in, but the experience with her there is a forever treasured memory for both of us. I look forward to the day I get to be with her in a Brides Room again in the House of our Lord. Although I do not want to rush it here any sooner....
