Joy in our Journey

The past few weeks at the Kims! :)...

First, some pictures of my adorable Emsy-Bemsey..

 The Fort Collins Temple was dedicated and opened. We are so blessed to have 2 temples in Colorado. Our neice Katie Kim (Chris/Janeil's daughter) got to be in a youth celebration of the temple opening and they got us some tickets to go watch. I think the most touching point was when President Uchtdorf came onto the field (the celebration was at a football field) while a song played (the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing "I Feel my Savior's Love." The spirit was incredible and there were a lot of wet eyes at this moment. So amazing to be in the presence of an apostle of God. When he came out Andrew told the girls it was like we were seeing Nephi. The spirit was pretty incredible when he said that. So blessed are we to have apostles and prophets of God to share with us the word of God.

Lucy and Emily watching the celebration. Those two are pretty adorable.

 Great Grandma was there, too! Angela and Grandma (with Tommy and Anew in the background).

 We slept over at Chris and Janeil's house that night and then watched the dedication with them. Here are Lucy and Emily playing together.

 Carolyn had a sick day a couple of weeks ago. Great excuse to play a good game of Monopoly. And just for the record, Emily won!

 President Uchtdorf encouraged us to write in our journals about our experience at the Fort Collins Temple dedication. I learn so much from these cuties of mine. I loved reading their testimonies of the temple and writing down their feelings they had about the temple.

 Emily:

 I love the pictures Emily makes for me and everyone.

 Decorating for Halloween:

 Angela's class earned a pj day. What a cutie-patutie.

 Probably the boy's favorite food: Blueberries.

 And some pictures of our handsome boy in his church vest.

 I love this picture. It depicts so well the face I get to see all of the time. :)

 This one, too:

 Here we are making Halloween Sugar Cookies to bring around to Home Teaching Families and friends...

 One of Tommy's FAVORITE things to do right now? Be pushed around in his car. He really likes it when someone chases him.

 He has such nice sisters that push him and chase him all the time. What a lucky boy.

 Decorating outside for Halloween...

 Here is Tommy helping Mommy get some things together for the girls' School Halloween parties...

 Mortensen Parade:

 Angela with her best friend, Emily Hood:

 Angela and Emily Hood won 3rd place for the tp wrap.

 Back at home. Daddy grew a big pumpkin in the garden for us to use for Halloween!

 Tommy was "Thomas #88" from the Broncos Team for Halloween. The girls LOVE cheering for "Tommy" during Broncos games.

 A little obsessed with the game "sleeping Queens" Carolyn and Emily chose characters from the game. Carolyn was the heart queen.

 Angela was a mermaid:

 She did her own sparkly make up :)

 Emily was the butterfly queen from "Sleeping Queens."

 What a bunch of cuties.

 One of Tommy's favorite things to say right now is "Uh-oh!" He will drop things are purpose and say "Uh-Oh" And just say it over other things too :) What a cutie!
