This week...

Johnny played flag football with the new company he will work for in the fall. (Johnny was offered two dream jobs this past month, and he just recently chose between them—it was a hard decision).



Hudson made what Elle called a milk waterfall. Thank you Hudson for that fun mess I had to clean up. And he also made the waterfall right as Johnny was leaving for work, so all Johnny had time to do was say, “Good luck, Honey.”



We went to Disney on Ice and Temple Square on Saturday. It was a whirlwind of a day, but so much fun. (A road trip with just the girls is always a great experience).

Elle was excited to wear her Halloween costume, and see her favorite princess—for right now—Rapunzel. Disney put on a great show, like always, and Elle was captivated from beginning to end. She loved every character, costume and song. And I loved seeing her face light up as she watched her beloved characters skate across the rink in a Disney style fashion. It was a great cotton-candy-eating, front-row-sitting, character-watching day.




Temple Square was beautiful as always. But it was even more magical, because big snowflakes fell the entire time we were there. It was especially beautiful as we ate in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and could watch the snowflakes fall around the temple for the duration of our lunch. It was a spectacular day. We loved every minute of it.



And all of these things combined, makes for a great week.

Ashley, I can't help but laugh when reading about your little terror Hudson. I can only chuckle to myself thinking' I totally have been there'. I have TWO boys and one more on the way... I TOTALLY feel your pain. Boys are SO much different than little girls. Your family is adorable, nonetheless, and clearly they are worth all the trouble they put you through. Congrats to Johnny on the job offer. We were sad not to be able to see you guys last weekend, but will be up next month. We shall have to plan a little hang out time, if you guys are around. :)

We would love to see you guys. It has been far too long. I am in complete agreeance with you on little boys. They get into so much trouble, but they are so adorable at the same time. Even though I am amazed at what he gets into, I can't help but smile. Give us a call when you know more definitive plans.
