Life just got easier!

I don't know how many other mother's out there have a hard time keeping there little ones out of the pantry, but I sure do! In fact I have had a hard time with my kiddos for probably 2 years now. Why I have waited until now to finally do something about it...I have no clue?! Nick a few weeks ago bought some locks at Home Depot, but has never put them on. Yesterday, I was talking to Hillary and she mentioned that last week sometime she put up a hook and eye latch on her pantry door. DING DING DING! The bells were going off for me! I sent Nick to return the locks he had bought this morning and had him come home with the hook and eye locks! 

 Above is the hook and eye :D
 I knew that it was only a matter of time until the kids attempted to get in there for a snack but I was ready with the camera for when they did! Bentley's first attempt!
 Bentley couldn't,  he called his younger brother over Nixon to try... Nope..Nixon couldn't either!
So then Bentley tells Nixon, "Maybe if we both try and push the door it will open!"
NOPE
Mom has defeated these two little mischief makers!!

Getting Taller

 Nixon thinks he is so BIG! He kept reaching up and turning the bathroom light on and then looking back at me with this intelligent grin like mommy look what I can do now!
Nixon you are so sweet! I am so glad that I get to be your mom.

Dad and daughter! He was so emotional along with the rest of us, but he said many times that it was so good to have all four of his children with each of their spouses in the temple at the same time! I guess to a father that was a great accomplishment! Dad thanks for raising us right! We love you!

 Her and Thad

 Thad's family: Rod, Thad, Lindsey, Grandma Faverro and Midge (MIL)

 Lindsey and my mom.



It is always so good to be able to attend someone's sealing because for Nick and I it brings back the best memories of the day we were sealed! I love you Nick.

Dinner at the Gunbarrel

 Nick's dad took us out for dinner a week ago Thursday to this amazing restaurant! Nick looks dazed as always.
Above is Nicks oldest brother Josh and his wife Mickell. Had such a great time visiting with everyone. Sad I didn't get picks of Bryson and his wife Kristen, Doug & Cindy as well as Stef :( Thanks for such a great date night!

The Wedding Day

 Lindsey in the bridal room at the temple applying her lip gloss prior to her grand exit! She looked soooo beautiful! The sealing was amazing. Her sealer in the temple was a family friend of her husband and he said some powerful things. He talked to Lindsey and Thad about attending the temple often. He said is attending the temple every 11 years often enough? And of course they are shaking there head no, he then replied saying, "when you are living in South Africa and there isn't a temple near by (closest at the time was in Britain somewhere he said) every 11 years was often for us." We all somewhat chuckled as we processed his humor. Many other special things were discussed.
 Isn't she beautiful?! I was up at 4 AM with this chica curling her long hair. I told her she had like 3 mops on her head at least!
 Above is my oldest brother Morgan and his youngest girl Clara.
 This is my twin brother and his 3 month old Mcklain.
 Above are a few of Lindsey's friends outside the temple. Left to right: Shannon, Brittney, Chelsea and Kassie.
 Here they are!
 Sooo Happy for them!
 This made me tear up.. My niece Abigail (Morgan's daughter) just loves Aunt Lindsey and had been talking all morning about getting to see Aunt Lindsey in her princess dress. Well here is the picture that captured her response as she saw Aunt Lindsey step out of the temple. It was priceless.
 Of course her fun shoes!
 Her good friend Chelsea!
 Hugging Kassie!
 Hugging her brand new sister-in-law Bailey that was married two weeks prior.
 My Grandpa Brown (mom's dad)
 My aunt Karrie and Uncle Craig with Grandma Brown.
 My close cousin Ashley and her family Kyle, Bridger and Bennett.
 My handsome cousin Max.
 And this was my mother-in-law bringing both boys to the temple for us. She was heaven sent. With her husband just having chemo etc she watched them both mornings while we attended the temple for her endowment and then the sealing.
 Daddy and Nixon. Man they look sharp!
 This was another one of those priceless moments. Bentley saw his cousin Abigail and ran for her and they embraced for a hug and then went off playing!
 Bentley with his daddy.
 Nixon would not hold still for anything so I am surprised that I was able to get this photo.
 Only family pic that I got with my camera at the temple. :( But her photographer took some great ones so we will be getting those.
My two favorite boys on the St. George Temple steps.
