BethAnne's Birthday and more!

A couple weeks ago we celebrated BethAnne's 9th birthday. On her birthday (February 24th) we went out to dinner at Macaroni Grill and then we celebrated at home with just our little family. BethAnne loved her gifts and she was glad she had chosen to go to Macaroni Grill because they ended up closing the Boise location a few days later (which would have been more sad if they hadn't taken all my favorites off their menu the last few years). The day after BethAnne's birthday, we celebrated with Nana and Papa Rogers, Aunt Lisa, Grandpa and Grandma Baker, and Chrissy and Jon. It's so fun to be able to share these occasions with so many people we love. We're so grateful to have BethAnne in our family. She is such a great helper and a beautiful, brilliant, sweet girl.

 

 

 

Then today, our scruffy doggies were groomed. They are looking more and more alike all the time and it's getting hard to tell them apart. Except when one is getting into mischief or trying to lick you, then that's usually Lily. Joy loves her doggies, she was giving Lily kisses until daddy suggested that it wasn't terribly sanitary.

 

 

Mark and I had a great date to the Twin Falls Temple last week. It was such a wonderful experience. It is so nice to be able to go to the temple and feel the Spirit and get answers to prayers. We're looking forward to when the Boise Temple is done being renovated and we're so grateful for wonderful grandparents who babysit until then.

The kids are on track break now, so they have the rest of the month off. It will be great to have all my girls home for a few weeks. I'm hoping they will be big helpers. I think I'm starting to feel better (I had a few weeks of morning sickness and back pain that were not fun). I'm taking it easy for the most part and Mark is a huge help. I'm now 11 weeks along, I have my 12 week appointment next week. We have a lot of hope that things will go well. I hope you all have a great week!

Love,
Aubrey
