And some more...

 
We had the best time with Mable's mom, Elizabeth, while she was there for the wedding, she is such a sweet person.
 
It was so fun going with both our families to the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house.
 
The weather was blazin' hot, so we made sure we kept cool!
 

Misty had a great idea one of the days to take the kids to Wheeler Farm for a picnic and they loved it!

I was so excited that I was able to go to girls' night that month!

All of us went downtown one night and watched the Joseph Smith movie and walked around Temple Square. Our boys love to see the temple.

Trip to Utah Part II...The Wedding

Ryan's brother, James, got married in July, while we were there over the break, to Mable, one of the neatest people I've met. We loved being able to be there to see them get married and be with family. They had a beautiful wedding and we are so happy for them! Now it's Shannon & Dallin's turn and we can't wait!
 
 
 

 

Trip to Utah Part I...

Wow, it has been a while since I've last posted. We have had a great summer! While Ryan was off school for a month we were able to take a trip back to Utah for three weeks and we had a blast. I never knew how much of a difference the gorgeous mountains made, until I've moved away from them. The first week we were there we stayed with my awesome brother and sister-in-law and had loads of fun with my family! We got to celebrate Savannah and Sierra's birthdays while we were in town. I miss my family and am so happy I got to spend time with them!

Zoo Day

 
Jaxon thought this orangutan was pretty cool.
 
Noah.Cambrie.Jax

Yesterday we went to the zoo and had a great time. We love that every time we go, there is something new to see because the zoo is so big and has so many exhibits.The weather here has been perfect all week, so it was a good day to go and enjoy. We went with our friends, the Harwards, and had a lot of fun with them and their cute kids!

 
Jax and Noah loved seeing this snake crawl right up the glass.
 
I love that we are able to get right up close to see the animals.
 
We were just in time to watch this bear get some lunch.
 

"The Kids"

 
The other day while the boys and I were at the store, we saw The Sandlot and decided we would add it to our movie collection. I had no idea that my boys would love this movie so much! It is the one movie Jax will sit and watch the entire way through without moving from his seat. Also, when he tells me he wants to watch it, he gets mad if I call it The Sandlot, because he calls it "the kids". So he's always asking me if he can watch the kids. I love his little personality.
I am a bit worried, though, whether I should let them watch it as much, because they are wanting to watch it on a daily basis now. But when I was by the balcony door yesterday I heard Noah outside quoting some words from the movie such as, "fartsmeller", "crapface" and "those blockheads". EEk, I don't think that is the best choice of language for a two and three year old?! I'm thinking it is time to set a limit on how often they watch this new favorite movie of theirs. :)
