Work and the glory

I am so excited I have officially read two books in my adult life. Man I am so proud of my self. I can't believe that I have read that much and I have found the book series that I love and get totally into. And I am learning church history while I am at it. For those who want to learn the life of Joseph Smith, this series is the best way to do it. I have a hard time understanding the scriptures but this author broke it down for even me to understand. Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you...

Reading obsession

Holly cow when I cot home from work last night I of course couldn't sleep. It was after 10:30 pm when I got in the door and all the kids didn't need tending too and the house was perfectly clean (thank you Devin you are my favorite husband). Then since we live in tight quarters I didn't want to do anything that would bother or wake up anyone. I decided to go in my room and read my book. Well, I was on page 390 and now I am on 478. My eyes started to get heavy so I decided to call it a night. Well, I hadn't realized what page I was on until that moment. And needless to say I was almost done with the book there is only 506 pages in the second book. I was so into the book it kept getting good and then I just couldn't think of anything but the book. It was actually quiet and I could think of what I was reading and nothing else. (didn't have to go back and read the page over and over again due to kids or husband interrupting me.) Well, when I put the book away and turned off my light I reached to set my alarm and realized that it was already ONE AM. And yes I am feeling it this morning. But since Daxton doesn't have school my nap won't be until later.

First Day on the Job

Well last night was my first day of real work in over 3 years. I really enjoyed the change in daily life. Plus the benefits are awesome. I am stocking the store and straightening clothes, plus helping the happy customers.

Well, while on my first night of work. We were setting up the new pricing for the holiday sales and WOW, they are having a nice big sale today as well as added sale stuff on Friday. So for those of you that want a great deal on clothing here is your chance.

Family Home evening

We decided to go to the Temple before the crowds hit and check out the lights and pick up a movie. Okay, I have to admit because I was born and raised in AZ. I haven't been to the visitor center in a few years. Sad yes I know. When we go to see the lights we usually are so frustrated with kids or know that they won't sit still and be quiet long enough to walk threw, So we leave. Well, didn't know they had remodeled it and split up the big room into three little different rooms. I love the new look very nice. And I love to look at the old pictures of what mesa looked like when they built the Temple. Wow, dirt roads, and black and white pictures. Well more like brown. LOL It's AZ remember just dirt everywhere.

The kids really enjoyed the last room where they were able to touch the screen and watch the short videos. Daxton had a blast touching it over and over and over and over. There was a little girl that was getting frustrated with him. So she gave him the look and yep he got that look so he stepped back and let her take over. It was very cute.

The kids loved telling people that their grandpa Harris is the one who made the Deer and Camels and wise man on display on the temple grounds. Years ago he made over five different sets of deer. And since they are no longer putting them on display they gave them back to him and we were honored with a set two years ago so we now have really big deer in our yard. They are very special too us. Thanks Frank.

I always love to play photographer so I asked Taylor to sit down in front of a this beautiful tree full of lights but since I don't have the proper camera it didn't turn out the way I would have loved but, I got a very beautiful picture of her anyways. She is very photogenic. She will pose anywhere and smile so perfectly. I love her so much, I am realizing to much over the past few weeks that she isn't so little anymore turning into a perfect young woman. I am so sad and excited at the same time. BOYS STAY CLEAR OR ELSE HER SYCO MOTHER WILL UNLEASH.

I love the last picture of my kids standing in front of Jesus. They all were in aw at how large the statue was and even Little Daxton looked up and said Jesus. I just wanted to cry he is talking so much and surprising us on every turn.
