Nick got home at 9:45 last night which was great, and all morning he played with the three kiddos and I relaxed. But he had to miss church so that he could go to a training meeting up in Park city. Ella said she couldn't believe it. She said "it's Sabbath he can't work on the sabbath." But so goes the job I suppose. I managed to wrangle the three kids at church. It was helpful that Lincoln took a nap before church, so he wasn't as cranky as usual.

We talked a lot about temples at church. It made me realize that I need to make the temple more of a priority. I need to just plan on asking Sian or Ammon to watch them so we can go at least once a month. I need to make the change and just do it! 

We went for little walk and bike ride after church. A very short walk. The wind started to pick up and on our way back even started to rain. Leisy was being a little bit silly. She started writing her bike and then she throw herself off for bike onto the grass. And she'd crying and say "it's tricky for me". After her doing that a few times I told her that she can't give up and just keep trying and that she'd make it. After that she continued to throw herself off bike but she kept getting back on and saying I won't give up. Finally Ellie came back and helped her and we made it to the park.

We didn't stay long because the cold wind picked up. It was good that we left because it started to rain soon after, a cold wet rain. Lisey started to cry because she was so cold. Ella and Lisey were up ahead on their bikes and all of a sudden I see Ella starting to take off her coat. I ran up next to her and asked (very shocked) what she was doing. Ella says "I'm giving my coat to Lisey. She's more important then me". Oh Ella! Way to be Christ-like. And here I was thinking Ella was turning into a bit of a teaser (before the walk she had been teasing Lisey). After Ella's great example I gave her my coat. She said "no you need it". And I said "but you're more important than me". 

After we got home we watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and danced and danced.
