A Very Nice Sunday

I just wanted to say today was a really nice Sunday. When we were getting ready for church, there were no fights, and everybody got dressed when they were asked. We made it on time (HURRAY!), actually got to sit on a bench instead of the chairs in the way back and the kids were good during the meeting (minus Emree, but she's teething). I also got to start my new calling, teaching the Mia Maids in YW, which is a very nice change. Since we have been married I have only been in Primary. I love my little class that I teach, man I forgot how much girls like to talk, I'll be lucky if I can get through half of my lessons. It's ok though, I remember being that age and how easy it is to get off track and start talking about stuff that has nothing to do with the lesson (like hair, boys, and movies). So then we come home and I make lunch/dinner and then Gavin and Emree went down for a little nap while Rey, Braxton and I all hung out for about an hour. Before we knew it Braxton had fallen asleep on the sofa and it was just Rey and me, so we decided to lay down together and watch a few conference talks that we had recorded during General Conference. It was so nice and relaxing, we just loved the alone and quiet time we had together. As our family is growing, we realize more and more how precious our "alone" time is. I'm sure you all with kids know exactly what I'm talking about. Gosh its amazing how quiet the house gets when they are all asleep and how loud it gets the second they all wake up. It seems that everybody wants everything at the same time too. Once they were all awake we all just hung out, played games, watched the boys wrestle and play Power Rangers together. Side Note... I just have to say this because its so cute. Ok Gavin thinks he's really a power ranger and his famous thing he does around the house is he pretends to push a button on his arm , which is actually a chicken pox scar, but he thinks its his "power up button" and he pushes on it and then yells "Power Rangers, Power Up!" We love when he does that. Anyways this is turning out way longer than I wanted to but I just wanted to say I'm go grateful for days like this, It's not very often that a whole day goes by so smoothly and it wouldn't be fair not to write about the "good" days we have. We love and enjoy our kids so much!! Today was definitely a great way to start off a new week.
