Temple, Bikes, Water, and Haircuts!

We've had a crazy busy couple of weeks, well to think of it it's been a couple of months, but we've been able to get in some fun stuff too! On May 23rd, we went to the open house for the Oqu irrh
Mountain Temple open house...they had an early open house for the residents of Daybreak and surrounding areas...it was so nice to be able to go and see the finished product. It has been so fun to drive past the temple almost every day and see the progress that was being made. It doesn't seem like that long ago when they were putting the angle Moroni on top, and now it is finished! I am so excited to have a temple in our neighborhood and feel so blessed to be able to be so close...I think of people that have to save up so much money to be able to make a trip to the temple once in their lives and how much they sacrifice and feel so blessed to have a temple I could walk to!

It is pretty amazing to stand in front of the temple and to be able to see three other temples, the
Salt Lake, the Jordan River, and the Draper...how blessed are we?!

If anyone is coming this way for the open house that starts tomorrow and runs through August, stop by and visit us...we'd love to see you! For more information on the open house and temples click here.

This picture is not a good picture at all, but it was so darn bright outside that we couldn't keep our eyes open...that's why Jaxon is covering his and Brynn is looking away and I have a goofy look on my face!


Jordan is already 6 months old! Where does the time go? He is such a sweet little boy...I love this age so much! He loves to laugh, eat his toes, eat anything that he can get to his mouth, eat "food", play with his brother and sister (most of the time), jump in his jumper...pretty much anything, he is such a good baby and pretty cute too if I may say so myself!

My mom came up from St. George on Wednesday...my kids were SO excited to see her...Brynn won't let my mom put her down when she is around, she LOVES Grandma! We decided to take the kids to the park by the lake and when we got there, we decided it would be fun to put our feet in the water...fully expecting the kids to get wet (which we weren't prepared for, no swim clothes, no towels). Well, they did get wet and had a great time doing so!

Jordan and Grandma stayed dry on the dock!
This was right after Brynn fell in...Jason was walking with her in the water and she decided she could do it by herself, and ended up falling in...she wasn't very happy at first and used Jaxon's shirt to try to wipe the water off, the she realized there was no point and just had fun!
Jaxon making sand angels...he had a great time!


Jaxon had another soccer game on Saturday...it was pretty fun. Have I mentioned that our team is the only team in our age group of all three year olds? Yeah...we play kids up to 5 years old...do you know how big those kids can be...Jaxon is tall for his age and they tower over him, but the kids do pretty good, at least they are getting better! The game before this one Jaxon decided to be goalie and he did awesome! This game he tried it again, but his heart wasn't really into it...but at least he tried! I must say, it's quite a sight seeing 6 three year olds trying to play soccer...they are so darn cute!
Last but not least...I finally decided to take Brynn to get her hair cut! I was so sick of doing her hair like 10 times a day because of naps, carseats, Brynn pulling it out, etc. So on Saturday I took her to Cookie Cutters and had them cut it...I was nervous as to how she would do, but she did pretty well. Here is her hair before...

She was getting a little anxious, so we gave her some bubbles...her favorite!

The blow dryer freaked her out the most...she didn't like it at all, but she's going to have to get used to it...
And here is the finished product...I think it looks SO cute! It's a cute little A-line bob. Hopefully it will be a lot easier to do and it will not get food in it all the time! I love this little girl!
