temples and a side note to mommies

This morning President Monson announced the building of 5 new temples: Brigham City Utah, Asuncion Chile, Fortaleza Brazil, Fort Lauderdale Florida and Sapporo Japan. I felt especially touched because both Joel and Eddie served their missions in one of these locations. Joel in Fortaleza and Eddie in Sapporo. Miles and I have been talking a lot about missions and immediately I wanted to tell him that because of the missionary work that his daddy and Landyn's daddy participated in, there are now enough members and a need for temples in those two areas. I am so proud to be a member of this wonderful Church and feel such gratitude for the examples that these men have set for our children. Joel was so excited to hear of the new temple and I know it is because he truly loves the people of Fortaleza Brazil. And Eddie expressed that his family has a goal to travel to Sapporo for the temple dedication. Depending on how long it takes to erect the temple in Japan, Miles might be old enough to attend the dedication as well. That would be such an amazing experience for him. :D





i just bought target's brand of diapers. at about .14 cents a piece, they are the cheapest diapers i've been able to find AND the good news is they are the FIRST brand of diapers the twins have not blown out of. pampers, huggies, kirkland, the sam's brand and even luvs (which are my second favorite right now) have all failed me in one way or another. and since we go thru twice as many diapers as most of you (twins basil) i've been trying to find a cheaper method without switching to cloth (which i'm NOT willing to do). so just thought i'd share. they're a great find and great price. :D

Very cool! I told Ty about the one in Japan and he's stoked. (Served in Montreal but is a lover of all things Japanese :)

Yes! I've been using the target brand since we got here to Boston and they're doing quite well for us. And you've gotta love the price.
