Mason decided at 9:00 pm he was starving so we got dinner leftovers out. Who knew it would start a feeding frenzy!

Our Cute Arrows.
We went for family pictures on Saturday, always an adventure! Mason was just as photogenic as ever, one shot is all it takes. Ashton noticed the lady trying to make him smile wrinkled her nose. He decided to mimic this each time she tried to get him to smile, but eventually 5 shots later we got a good picture. Kamryn is the easiest baby we've ever taken pictures of, two shots to adorable. Rylyn notice that Kamryn got a lot of attention for opening her mouth really big and sticking her tounge out. This seemed like a good idea to her. Each time we tried to get Rylyn to smile she would stick her tounge out like Kamryn. Eventually, 10 shots later, we got a picture just before the tounge came out. Check out the keepers. I just wish you could see Ashton's wrinkled nose and Rylyn's tounge sticking out.

"Your Quiver is Full."
Ryan and I had a wonderful experience a week ago. We wanted to get to the temple but needed a babysitter. I was in Relief Society when I heard a couple of ladies talking about the ward sealings that needed to be done. One of the ladies' husbands was in charge of finding couples to go on Friday. She asked if the other sister wanted to go and she would watch her kids for her. She couldn't go, so here is where Katie jumps in..."Ryan is off Friday! We would love to take that offer." It worked out great for us and her husband was thrilled. We got there right on time...Hellewell standard time that is 20 minutes late. We ended up going in a room with only one of the ward members, Bro. Young, things workout for a reason sometimes. In between sealings the Sealer stopped and asked us a little about ourselves.
"How many years have you been married?" Asks the Sealer
"Nine." Says Ryan and we smile at each other like young embarrassed kids.
This is where Bro. Young's eyes get big and he mouths the word "WOW!"
"Hm mm." Says the Sealer with a grin. "And how many kids do you have?"
"Four." Says Ryan and we smile even bigger.
The Sealer stops, looks directly at us and says "Your Quiver is Full."
Now I am sure that he had no idea he was answering our prayers. We had had the question on our minds of more kids. We felt like our family was complete, but we wanted to know for sure. We had been praying for a few weeks and fasted for an answer the previous fast Sunday. Our answer came, Simple, Unexpected, and Precise. Ryan and I both knew right when it was said that it was significant. It was prophetic. It was amazingly comforting. As I think about it right now I can hear behind the simple words, "Your arrows are all here, make them straight, make them true." I love my arrows and can't imagine a world without them. Thank you Father in Heaven, and thank you to this sealer who didn't even know he was answering our prayers.
We now know.

Ashton and His Sisters.
Ashton is so patient with his sisters. Here he is trying to get Kamryn to laugh, which the video does not do justice. She was giggling uncontrollably. Rylyn gets jealous and wants to play. Since he is saying ouch, why not give him something to say ouch for?

Katie's progress with Harley
Ryan has his bird; I have mine. Perhaps a little symbolic of their people...Harley is prettier and smarter too. Just kidding goosey boy. Goose says "Puff up they hate that" while holding his breath and expanding his chest. Harley says "Ha Ha" in his best Simpsons impression.
Without My Jeep.
Oh what would life be without my Jeep & me?
Why a Jeep you say
because he likes it that way.
because he likes it that way.
Fixing anything I ask
always upto the task.
My Jeep never seems to age
just a different roll cage.
Tires have seen some wear
showing how he must care.
Over any hill he will climb,
never willingly left behind.
Rough exterior to boot
and when topless so cute!
It's me my Jeep adores,
as I tease him while he snores.
I love my Jeep more than ever,
it helps that he is so clever.
Here without my Jeep?
only because he is asleep.
Each minute alone without
leaves me in no doubt,
I would rust away inside
if left alone without to ride.
