We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo......

Chris and Tamara invited us to go to the Zoo with their scout troop. They needed some extra seats to hall the boys. Here are some cute pictures of us at the zoo. Thanks Chris and Tamara. remind me to send you your pictures.

The Best Five Years!

Yeah, today is our Anniversary!! Five years ago when someone asked me where I saw myself in five years this is what I hoped for. A loving husband, a home, two adorable children, and of course to be healthy. What other reason do we have to celebrate. I can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to have an honorable priesthood holder at the head of our family. I am eternally grateful you walked into the institute building that day five and half years ago. Happy Anniversary! I love you!

By George I think he's got it!

Well Alex you did it!! He has been in Big Boy underware for a week and a half now. And he has 0 accidents for two days/nights straight. He still needs a reminder every now and then, but he often goes even without a prompting! Keep up the good work, Alex! (pretty please!)

Jayden's Blessing

What a sweet experience to see your husband holding your little boy all dressed in white. So pure and innocent. When Stillman sat back down with Jayden I heard a tiny voice behind me ask "Mommy did we give Jayden a blessing?" I told Alex yes, and he asked if he could come see. (He was sitting in the row behind us with Grandma Donna.) When he got up to Jayden he looked at him and said, "Where is the blessing? Did we take it off?" Kids are so cute. It was a great day to be able to spend it surrounded by family and friends. We missed all of you who were not able to attend. I have included some pictures of Jayden on his special day.

We also had everyone over for a barbeque afterwards. Some of us invented a new game, I'll call it "Hot Frizato". It is basically Hot Potatoe, with frizbees. We stood in a circle and passed three frizbees around the circle. If you ever ended up with two frizbees at once then you were out. Oh! what silly things we Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) do for fun! there is a video at the bottom of us making fools of our selves.

Updates!

This Sunday we are blessing Jayden! Any and all are welcome to come.
Alex is potty training! He is doing great, I'm not sure what brought on the change. We think it was seeing a tiny baby getting his diaper changed and realizing that he is not a baby any more.

Memorial Day Weekend! Warning lots of Pictures!

Well for the long weekend we had quite a few visitors. Our house actually managed to stay clean for while. Amazing what having people over can motivate you to do.

Our first visit was from Michelle's Dad and Jody. They came to meet the new babies and of course see Alex and all of us as well. We took them to Boondocks and then we all went out to dinner with Aunt Rita and Cousin Kristen and Issac.

Our second visitor was Michelle's cousin Callie. She is staying the summer with Mom and trying to decide if she wants to make the move permanent. On Monday we went and played Frisbee Golf at the park. Then Later that night we went to see the new Narnia Movie (I liked it better than the first, I also liked this book better as well though.)

Also on Monday we went to a barbeque with Stillman's side of the family. The guys played basketball, the kids played at the playground... It was nice and relaxing. We even had a few visitors on that side as well. Aunt Deb and cousins Alivia and Danea (sp?) came to see everyone. We were even surprised to see Grandpa there broken leg and all .

It so great to be surrounded by this many family members. Here are some pictures of our super busy weekend.

So Precious!

Jayden loves his brother. This morning Jayden would smile at Alex which would make Alex Laugh, Which would make Jayden smile. So Alex would laugh so Jayden would smile.....well you get the idea. This went on for about five minutes. We have seen Jayden smile but it is usually while he sleeps. So it was so sweet to watch them interact this way with each other.
