Fun in St. Anthony on Saturday and a great day at church today!

We had a blast on Saturday, we went to St. Anthony to visit some good friends and to celbrate Pioneer Day with them.  They had a pretty good parade, lots of candy for the kids.  My son, Cian, almost got ran over by some horses and a buggy, scared me to death!  He ran out to grab some candy and at the same time the person driving the horse and buggy decided to have the horses walk in circles.  They didn't see him and he was not paying any attention to us about hurrying it up.  He finally moved out of the way, before anything bad happened.  Other than that, it was great!

After the parade we went to our friend's house and prepared lunch to eat at the park.  We also got ready to do some swimming afterwards.  St. Anthony has a fun little place to go swimming for kids.  Lots of sand for them to play in too.  The kids and Chet had a blast in the water.  I got to chat with Kendra and do some catching up with her, that was so fun!  Some other friends of Kendra's showed up and I got the privilege to hold their little 3 month old while they played in the water with their other little girl.  Holding their baby made me want a baby even more!  Hopefully some day soon we can.  

When we was done up there we headed back home again.  That was a long ride for us!  It was only 2 hours, but our kids were very cranky and did not go to sleep!  They pretty much fought and bickered over everything they could.  Iollan tried to get out of his seat belt and we had to pull over and fix that, then he cried the rest of the way home.  I even sat next to him to try to comfort him, but that didn't work either.  Chet and I were so grateful to be home and to finally get the kids into bed!  We had a long day, a late night, and had to get up early for church today.  

We had 2 extra kids today to take with us to church.  I think that Chet and I both kind of worried about that.  But all of the kids were awesome, even my 2 nieces and they've never been to church before.  I was so very proud of them all!  Iolly hasn't been feeling very well, so I kept him out of nursery and with me.  So we walked around for a bit.  He had to get a drink from every drinking fountain that we passed, his last time he somehow managed to drench himself!  How does that happen?  Anyways, he got bored of that so we went for a drive till church was done.  Now we are home, all the kids are sleeping and I'm trying to figure this blogging thing out.  I'm not the best writer, so I hope that I don't bore anyone, please let me know if it is so that I can have my hubby take over.  lol  Seriously though, let me know!  :)

*Alma 37:37~  Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
