Art time

 Love Oliver's concentration face, either a wide open mouth or he sticks out his tongue.

 Silly me gave them baths first and then gave them paint. I learned my lesson. CC stayed clean, Oli did not.

                                   Love their abstract art work. They gave their paintings to the neighbor.

Rainbow

This is the look of pure joy! On our way home from our Sunday hike we spotted a fabulous double rainbow! Cecily was beside herself with happiness to see her first real rainbow! The picture doesn't do the vibrant colors justice, it really was the brightest rainbow I have ever seen.
CC started screaming as soon as she saw it, she said "I have to get out of the car and take a picture!" So she did!

Sunday afternoon hike

We love that we live so close to the mountains and the canyons, We drove up little cottonwood on sunday to go for a little hike. Our hike ended short because of weather, it started raining with thunder and lightening. The kids took refuge under a bridge and had a blast exploring!

The Farm With Grandma, Mark, and Paige

 We love that we have already gotten to see aunt Paige a couple of times since she came back to UT for school! She is so fun to play with the kids and give them all of her attention!

 The kids were feeding the ducks when the geese came to join in on the feast, the geese are not afraid of people but we are afraid of them! They come a little to close for comfort. CC took off out of there and Oli just got a little nervous and unsure what to do.

 But then Uncle Mark came and rescued little O from the big birds. Oli wouldn't let him out of his sight after that. Its been fun living in UT and seeing so much of family. Oli has a new favorite person .

 Uncle Mark came from Dental school, the kids liked that he looked like a real DR! We are so excited and proud of Mark for going to dental school! Can't wait for you to take care of our teeth!

 Grandma came for a quick 24 hour trip for Uncle Mark's white coat ceremony, we were lucky thought because we got to play with her all day! We went and did some shopping and had lunch at Costco and then went to Wheeler farm. It was hot but fun to spend time with her!

Car wash and Dino museum

 The kids love playing in the water, even if its to clean the cars or bikes in this case.

 Oli was sporting his SG's and working on saying he is Two when you ask him his age, he always says he is four when you ask him so hopefully he will have two down by the time he turns three.

 Silly boy in his PJs

 We went to the Dinosaur museum at thanksgiving point with the cousins last week!

 So hard to get all the kids to smile and look at the camera at one time.

 Oli and Hud listening to the sounds.

Brigham City Temple Open House

 Kreg and I celebrated our 6 years married this weekend! We went to dinner and car shopping, We haven't bought a car yet but we will soon so this was a rather exciting date for us! Its fun to think back at all of the milestones we have gone through as a married couple and what the near future holds for us and our family! Next up new (bigger) car, new baby and then a home of our own. Not to mention our oldest daughter goes to elementary school next week! We feel so blessed and happy to be married to each other!

 We went with the Reid family to the temple open house. The temple is gorgeous! It was a bit crowded and hot and a long time for the kids to be reverent, but it was a good experience for all of us! We gathered at Sarah and Aaron's after for a fun family dinner!

Cecily is just like me and likes to take home keepsakes from events we go to. She took home her little plastic booties they have you put over your shoes and the pamphlet of the temple. When I was nine I went to the Bountiful Temple open house and I too kept those exact items. I actually still have them in my scrapbook. Cecily said her favorite parts of the temple were the Baptimal Font and the water inside it, the sealing room, and all the Chandeliers. Oli liked the cookie he got at the end!
