Finn's Blessing and Lots of B-days

The twins turned nine! On the day of we went to McDonalds for dinner and then over to gymnastics. We had a party a couple of days latter with my family. 

The older four are in gymnastics and are loving it! The girls have already learned to do a cartwheel and Cole says his favorite is swinging on the rings.

Finn's blessing! Karl gave it and Tom was able to be in the circle. Finn's blessing included the following: born in the covenant with a loving righteous family, blessed to be an example to others and will follow the example of older brothers and sisters and well as mother and father (and know their love for you), strong missionary in spreading the Gospel and have sensitivity so can serve others around, health and strength as he accomplishes his missions on earth, diligent in living the gospel principles. I felt the missionary part the strongest when listening. We love you our little son!













Finn was also blessed on mother's day. Each of the kids (who could hold a pencil) made me a card and Karl got me a card and a gold chain for my necklace (that I put my wedding ring on). This was a selfie with my mom and sis. No better mother out there! 
We had a combine Karl and twins birthday. The party included a new trampoline and a pinata as well as three cakes!






Macie is so rough on Finn! Never had a toddler be so physical. She loves him to death and I can never set him down because she will play will him (and hurt him) or try and bring him to me. This was me trying to get a pic of his eye after she did a somersault into him. He sure will be tough growing up with her as an older sister!
I got Karl some cook books for his birthday and it was the best present I ever gave anyone! ever since he has been doing 90% of the cooking and making meals like this!

Lindsay had fun with the girls by putting make up on them. Adalyn didn't want any.

Karl and the Twins went to the Idaho Falls Temple Dedication broadcast today. The Camille and Shaylee were so excited and came home feeling so happy! 
Macie really wanted to go, but you have to be baptized (8 and older)

Love the update! Your family is beautiful! It's cool some of you were able to attend the IF temple dedication. Is that your temple? Or was it just near enough your Stake was invited?

Our temple is the Spokane temple. I think since our stake includes part of Idaho we were invited too.
