Growing up

Isaac is growing up so fast. He is able to move himself around the floor. This is how I found after I had left the room for a few minutes. He loves to watch Haley and he'll just sit and laugh at her.






I Love to see the Temple

Haley has had an obsession with the temple this week. Come to find out the temple has been the theme in Primary. She asked me if we could go see the temple and luckily we live real close and so I took her to see it. Then she asked when she could go in the temple and I told her one day soon, she told me the Temple is a beautiful house of God, and so then Logan ran to our picture of the San Diego Temple and said Temple is a beautiful house of God. It's so wonderful to see Haley retaining knowledge that she is learning in Primary. It means she actually listens too. Yeah! and she's passing her knowledge on to her brother. Here she is singing her version of I Love to see the Temple. Unfortunately I didn't get in videoed the night before because then she was singing the Temple is a God of House. It was hilarious. (She likes to show off for the camera sp this is a little bit dramatized)



Sleeping positions.

Our children have been sleeping in some weird positions this summer I don't know if the heat or what.
Enjoy!








While talking about sleeping positions I wanted to put this video on of Logan sleeping. This is one of the major reasons we are having the adnoid and tonsilectomy done. This isn't even a bad night for him, this is normal. You can hear him all the way down the hall. No 2 year old should have to sound like this. I know you can't see it really well, but I didn't want to wake him.


4th of July (a little late)

Our 4th of July was pretty kicked back. We stayed home and played with the kids. Kevin's brother Dallin came over, since his wife and son were out of town. We live in a place where they still allow fireworks and the kids had a blast watching them. I'm not sure who has more fun the kids or the big kids that are lighting the fireworks and trying to discover new ways to blow their hands off. Isaac was the only one who didn't enjoy himself. He's not into loud noises. Then we sat on the back deck and from there we can see the valley and watch all the different shows.

Funny sign

Thanksgiving Point is an attraction out here that has a farm, a dinosaur museum, shopping area, fancy restaurant, golfing, a children's discovery garden, and another beautiful garden where they have a tulip festival every year. Well the two garden's are surrounded by large fences and have gates that I assume get closed at night. Well on one of the gates is this sign


The first time I saw this sign I really laughed. I was wondering who they were posting the sign for, those people who had pet deer and liked to take them on outings, or those deer who can interpret signs.

On June 6th the kids and I continued our drive into California. It took a lot longer than usual having to stop and take care of the baby over and over. We finally made it and got to finally introduce Isaac to the family. While in California we had Maddison's b-day party, went to Prado Park which had a really cool playground and water area, Sea World, and just hung out and had fun. Unfortunately Haley got an ear infection and woke up screaming Tuesday morning and we had to take her to the doctors. Logan got a double ear infection while we were gone, and I have to thank everybody (especially Tami) for taking care of him and cleaning up throw up and everything. We also got to meet Boston for the first time. Logan and he had fun everytime we laid them next to each other Isaac immediately started hitting him. I hope it's not a preview of things to come.

4 months old



I know I should be updating this with my trip, but I wanted to talk about Isaac instead. Isaac went to his 4 month appointment this week. He is 15 lbs 11 oz and 25 1/2 in. long. About the 75 % in both categories. He has also started sitting up this week. He can sit up for about 1 min by himself, he loves his exersaucer, he has 2 teeth already, and we started him on rice cereal this week (he really did like it). Last night he was on his tummy on the couch and I watched him scoot himself forward. I showed Kevin and then promptly removed him from his tummy, because I'm not ready for that yet. He has all of a sudden grown up so fast. We took him swimming last night and he loved it, he splashed and kicked the whole time.


I took the kids to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. While there they mads Plaster casts of fossils, played on a water and sand table, and dug for fossils in a sand pit. They had a lot of fun, and it was air conditioned, yeah!



This is the Children's Discovery Park at Thanksgiving Point. Getting a lot of use out of those year passes.
