Inspiring Weekend

We have had an emotional and spiritual weekend. I spent the weekend in Logan with my sister-in-laws, and nieces for Time Out for Women. It was a wonderful two days there, Listening to the speakers and feeling the spirit so strong. I look forward to these weekends every year to recharge, and remember how important my job as a mother is. It helps me appreciate the blessing that I've been given. I love it and I'm looking forward to next years.
While I was gone Jappy took the kids to Tremonton to reunite with his extended cousins. Jappy's uncle Glade was in attendance, He resembles Jappys dad a great deal. The kids had the opportunity to meet him and get an idea of what Grandpa Jeppsen looked like. It was an emotional moment for Jap. As it always is when we see Uncle Glade. However He did not get any pictures So if anyone took any send them my way.
Today we fasted for a family friend. We felt the power of the Holy Ghost with us all day. Our heart is full of love and gratitude for this young boy, and feel blessed that we were able to take part in a fast on his behalf. We don't know what is in store for him but we know that the Lord is aware of him and his family.

Two weeks ago we took the kids to the state fair in Blackfoot. They enjoyed the animals and lots of fair food. The got to pet a steer, and milk a cow (not a real cow) they did however see the cows get hooked up to the milking machine... interesting.
Somehow we got out of them riding rides. Lucky I know. That saved us some money :) but it was a fun night out.
School is going well for them. Last week was my first week in the classroom with them. It feels good to be there and to meet their friends and get a better feel for their teachers. This weekend is the school carnival and I'm lucky enough to be in charge of a few things. Hopefully all will go well.
Magoo......... The mornings are INSANE. That's when he's at his peak of business. While I fix the girls hair in the morning he dives into the tub and plays with the bath toys, and climbs in and out repeatedly. Then while I was getting ready to leave for Logan he opened the drawer that I keep the curling irons and and hair dryerin, and emptied it out and climbed in.
He makes us Laugh daily with the things he finds to play with, or puts on his head.


The girls love bath time in our tub. Bubbles are their most favorite thing. They love to make themselves hats and crowns with the bubbles.
Football season is in full swing at our house. We had a small get together last Sunday for the First game of the season. Oh how I love football season. I'm being VERY sarcastic. It wouldn't be so bad if he only watched 1 game but when he records everyone AAAHHHH
I'm looking forward to February already. :)

I am on the team for Time Out For Women here in Kansas City... yes, Chrislyn recruited me. :) I can't wait! Sounds like you had fun! I LOVE fairs... especially for the food... and can't wait to get back to those elephant ears! :) Your kiddos are growing up too quick!

Wish I were there to have some football parties with you... so we could at least have some fun too! :) We are big BYU fans, but lucky for me he just catches all the other updates on sports center... who am I kidding... baseball has been on for months! These boys! And the worst is he's recruited the kiddos to loving watching it all too... so I am completely outnumbered! :)
