We had such a good time in Washington visiting family and friends! Time went by way to fast for us!!! We didn't get to hang out with everyone that we wanted too but it was great to see everyone even if it was for a short time. We stayed at Britt and Crystals house for the most part and have fun playing rock band and just staying up talking! I wasn't so much fun at first because I would fall asleep! For the first couple of nights that we were there I would just fall asleep. I was in the middle of a conversation with Stephanie (Crystal's sister) and fell asleep on her! Sorry Steph. I felt really bad. I am just so tired with this pregnancy and when my body is done for the day it is done. I can't protest or anything! hahaha Thank you Britt and Crystal for letting all of us stay at your house!!! The boys loved it!! We did stay at Grandma's house and had fun! The boys were really excited to wake up and see their Great Grandma Huntington there!!! We had cream of wheat and toast! Classic breakfast at Grandma's house!!! The boys were also happy that they were able to see their Gamma Auntie Clary and Auntie Net and Seesa, can't forget about Travo and Craig, last but not least PIGGY!!! Piggy was a big hit with all the kids!! I felt bad for the poor thing! The kids just loved him and it kept them entertained for a while! We had a blast! We want to thank all of you who came to Malachi's sealing!!!! It really made that day speacial!!!! We had friends drive all the way from Utah to come see us! Also from Eastern WA! Lots of Love there!! We had friends post pone their trip a day so that they could be there with us! We had family fly in from Arizona! Family and friends getting out of work and finding babysitters so that they could make it! We also had family turn around and go all the way back home to get Malachi's adoption papers, even though they were almost to the temple, just so that they could be apart of this speacial day! It was a great day!!! I was so emotional! I was doing good up until we were driving to the temple with Kate and Mallori. Kate and I were singing Hymns and started to sing How Great Thou Art! I lost it at the chorus! I had to stop singing because I was so overwhelmed with Love and Grattitude to my Savior for hearing and answering our prayers! To be able to have our son Malachi sealed to us for all time and eternity!!! That nothing could take him away from us! To be able to have him sealed on Our (Lim and my) sealing anniversary! It meant the world to us! I was finally able to recover and we decided to sing Book of Mormon Stories instead. Being in the Temple was so wonderful. Even though we had forgotten Malachi's adoption papers we were calm and didn't feel rushed at all. We were able to visit with our family and friends! It was great to be there with them. When it did come time to be sealed, words can not express the joy and love and how strong the spirit was in that room, when my three boys came walking in! It felt like a glimps of what Heaven will be like! How radiant the boys were. How sweet they were. Malachi being very calm and quiet. Making sure to be reverant and taking everything in. It was the sweetest thing to see Lim and Malachi embrace one another after the sealing!!! To have President Dewey being the one to seal us and having his sweet wife there. I still am overwhelmed with joy when I think of this day! I know that our Savior Lives! I know that the ordanice of sealing families together is real. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only church here upon the earth that has the fullness of the gospel. I am so grateful that I am apart of this gospel and pray that some day my other siblings and loved ones will be able to experience the true joy of being apart of this gospel and having their families sealed to them for all time and eternity!!! This is my prayer and testimony that these things are true. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen. We Love You All!!!! I just went through the pics and will be adding much more tomorrow! It is almost time to pic up Malachi. These are just the ones that I took. More to come................ I hardly have any pictures of Alexis, but I will post more. I Love my girls!!!!

Isaac the Photographer!!!

This is what happens when you go upstairs to do your hair for five minutes, while the boys are downstairs "watching a movie". Isaac captured Alma getting into the sour patch kids which help me not feel so sick. It was so funny! As I was going down the stairs I could hear someone running and then I hear a bang! That would be Isaac running to the counter and dropping my camera on the counter. Ouch!! But it survived thank goodness!!! I thought the pictures were funny so I had to share!!! : )

I turned # 4

Isaac is so funny. His birthday was Monday and we woke him up and said Happy Birthday to him. He was really excited, well all three boys were so excited and talking about taking turns on who's birthday it will be next. I told them that we should go have some breakfast which they were all thrilled about and rushed downstairs. As I walked into the kitchen Isaac ran up to me so excited and said Mom I turned # 4 I said yes, you are four years old. He is so funny! Malachi told him how old he was it was so cute. So all day he told everyone that he was # 4 not just four years old. Our friends the Wellmans bought Isaac this super cute outfit, which Isaac absolutely loves!!! He tried to wear it two days in a row and probably more if I would let him. I had to fight him just to put it in the wash! He was super hottie on his birthday! When we were getting ready to drop Malachi off to school he said don't do anything with out me Mom! I told him we wouldn't have the party with out him. So after dropping off Malachi we took Isaac to play group which he loves! Then it was off to home for lunch and then onto target where we bought his presents but he didn't know that. He thought we were buying it for his friend who has the same birthday! Isaac was born only a couple of hours before him. His name is Devin. He was fine with buying presents for his friend until it became time to pay. I told him that it was time to pay for them and he said I want to hold it. I said well I need to pay for it and then we are going to give it to your friend. He was so upset that it wasn't for him. Even though he had already agreed that this would be a great gift to give his friend, which he really meant for him. hahaha So we went to the store to get some items I needed for dinner, then it was off to pick up Malachi. I made Swedish meatballs with linger berries and rice!! Yummy!!!! I was thinking of Ikea when I was trying to decide on what to make for dinner. The boys loved it! We had our friends the Wellmans over as well as the Diaz family! It was so much fun! Isaac was so happy when he saw that he had a guitar! Then we had cup cakes. I made this frosting, well I revised the frosting for the cupcakes. My friend told me about buying just regular vanilla frosting and then adding one package of Koolaid to it. Any flavor that you would like. So I bought the whipped vanilla frosting and a package of black cherry koolaid and man it was soooo good!!!! One of our friends like it so much that he just wanted the frosting instead of the cupcake! So I gave him just the frosting on a plate! I am telling ya it is good. My friend who gave this idea to me said that pink lemonade is her favorite! I will have to try that sometime!!!! : ) We took some super cute pictures after the presents were opened and everyone had cupcakes. Sarah told her girls (Ella and Kallie) to give Isaac a kiss on his cheek so we could take a picture and Isaac ran away! It was so funny!!! Good times!!! Well here are the pictures enjoy : )
