I love these guys!!

Cory and Liz went to Cancun and we had their kids. We had Megan for a week, and Nick and Ashley for the weekend. Seven kids!!! We even took them to the Draper Temple open house! It was quite the adventure. They were all so excited to be able to finally go inside the temple. Whitney was embarrassed at how everyone stared at us wondering if they were all our kids.

Megan had to deal with Sarah all week. We tried putting them to bed at the same time and Sarah would stand up in her crib and tell Megan "you can't talk to me! You have to go to sleep! You can't talke to me Megan". Of course Megan was sitting silently in her bed looking at Sarah like she was crazy. Megan figured out that if she came up and hugged my leg and said "my mommy!" it would drive Sarah crazy and she would then leave whatever toy Megan wanted and sit on my lap and say "you want me huh mommy! You want me!"

Nick cracks me up! He is so dang cute and says the most adorable things. When I told him I was going to cry when he left he smiled and said, "that's o.k I'll come back on Sunday!" He did science experiments all weekend and was so excited about everything.

Ashley is a little princess! She can smile and get whatever she wants and was happy to follow Whitney around everywhere. She was sad to leave Eve's house, but when I said that Whitney was home waiting for her to play she perked right up!

The morning after they left I was so sad. It's true I had a lot less dishes and toys to clean, but I missed having their sweet personalities. It made me realize that even though I can't have anymore kids there are still many kids in my life that I get to love!!

Yes, Lori, you are an AMAZING aunt! We can't even put into words how thankful we are for you and Tony. I've said it before but it was SO nice knowing the kids were in excellent hands - knowing that someone who truly loved them was taking care of them. It doesn't get much better than that. Thank you! I love you!

Cute pics! It's amazing how fast these kids are growing up! Sad for us, though.
