Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Bangkok- Girls Trip

I went on an amazing three day Girl's trip to Bangkok. Erika, Lauren, and I left our cute families (together we  had 9 kids) with our husbands- and my sister. And had an absolute blast. One of my favoite things was that both of these women have nice cameras and love taking pictures, so I didn't take one picture the whole time- thanks so much for sharing! 
 Riding in the "Tuk Tuk" That we totally got tricked into taking and drove around for an hour looking at stuff.
 Had an awesome, Night Bike ride, almost got hit by a car like 10 times but so cool
 Saw some great temples- City of Angels is what this city is referred to as, it should be city of Gold
 Delicious street food!
 Rode through the flower market that is hopping from 9pm-5am
 Loved these Bamboo bowls, we all had to take home a few!
 Mango smoothies, . .  yum
 This is the Temple where the King of Siam once lived- as in Anna and the King or the King and I- both movies I learned are banned in Bangkok :)
 This is holy water I am dripping on my head
 Door with in a door
 The architecture was incredible!
 One of my favoite things was this awesome cooking class we did. Totally luxurious and Delicious
 Hand made coconut milk
 In our kitchens ready to cook!
 Us with the chef's
 More street food - squid anyone?
 Shopping at the JJ Market- so many awesome things
 This prego women is a little worn out!
 We took a long tail canal tour, which was awesome got to see where people live. The juxtaposition of these poverty houses along side the royal temples is really interesting
 Lots of Fishing!
 One of the treasures we were hoping to find is this Silver- which we all took some home of  :)
Eating Curry in a cafe on our last day. 
 Here is my loot! Salad bowl, Pitcher, Syrup pitcher tray. Below- Bamboo bowl and platter
And don't forget our hour long massages- each for $12.00-!5.00 overall an awesome weekend, we all couldn't have been more pleased!
