F-U-N

We went swimming!!!! okay so it was an indoor pool, but it was still so much fun! We picked up Olivia and Sadie( Taylors cousins) and took them with us. It was a little crazy because they are all 3 and under and I had to hold Emma the whole time but it worked out and they all had a ton of fun. After we took them to McDonalds for dinner and ice cream. The three are so close in age they have so much fun together.





This past week my sister Audrey and her 2 boys (A.J. & Logan) came to visit from Texas:) We had so much fun with them here. While they were here I was pretty much living at my moms house. (besides sleeping) Taylor and Logan were inseparable. luckily Taylor can hold her own. they would be upstairs jumping on beds and wrestling no one came down crying,no one got hurt, no one had to go to time out. It was probably the best week ever! Taylor didn't get in any trouble at all. There was no whining, tantrums, nothing but smiles:)( Except for when I said it was time to go home. She was asleep before she could really get too upset.) I am so sad that they could only stay a week even though we were all defiantly done by the weeks end. I miss you already and hope to see you soon( Tony too)


The kids loved this chair they sat in it and spun forever.

The result.




We had the opportunity to go to the Draper Temple open house. It was a silent tour so we basically just walked through. Nate was able to talk to Taylor about each room that we went into. Not that she will understand it right now but it was a cool experience. She talks about the Temple every time that she says prayers and even when she is playing. I am so grateful that we are blessed with so many Temples. I grew up in Draper and from where we lived the temple is right down the street. It is crazy. I am glad I was able to go with my family and share that awesome experience with them.





The whole group.

After the temple we went over to my grandparents house.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A.J.

Snow, Snow, Snow. It snowed I think three times while they were here. They boys were in heaven because they NEVER get snow in Texas.

all the grand kids.

I'm so glad you guys had so much fun!!! I can't believe how much your girls have grown! Taylor doesn't look like a baby anymore, but has become a little girl and so beautiful! And Emma is getting sooo big! Holy cow! I can't believe we still haven't gotten together! I'll try to give you a call this next week :)

That's fun that Audrey was here to visit! Her boys sure are getting big! I think it's crazy that Draper has a temple, too. I remember when there were NO houses there, we used to hike up the mountain all the time and it was just weeds! I drive by your old house all the time going to my parents house... it makes me sad thinking about the old days. (:

Ash, we had such a blast with you and the fam. The boy's are still talking about all the good times they had with Taylor and Emma. I hope that even though they don't live close, they can still be close cousins! Thanks for making our trip the best!
