Grandma's House

Last month we had a wedding of a friend of the family so Steven and his family came to St. George. My Grandparents made all of us dinner one night. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a blast exploring the back yard and picking veggies out of her garden (to her surprise haha oops) All the kids had a so much fun jumping on Papa's belly and wrestling with Steven. It was good to see everyone.

Hat Day

Landon loved this ball. He would just sit there and string it through his gums.

Yep she knows how to give you that sly look already!
What a stud. We love having Landon as a part of our family. He is always such happy kid. We are so blessed for the wonderful kids we have.
Brooke had to wear her hat since Landon was wearing his. Justin's mom gave him this outfit. It is so stinkin cute!

The Temple

The Temple grounds are so beautiful here. Everytime we go for a walk we love looking at all the flowers. It hasn't been as hot this year and we have had more rain that usual so the plants have done alot better this year.

Orchard

There is a church orchard about 15 minutes from St. George. In church they announced that anyone could go and pick the fruit for three days because it was ripening to fast and it wouldn't be as good for canning. So Justin and I decided to take advantage of the opportunity. The limit was 100 pounds per family. So we got five grocery sacks full. When we brought it home we didn't realize how much that really was. Our kitchen was covered in apricots everywhere. With only half of our apricots we were able to make 49 jars of apricot pineapple jam! The rest was made into fruit leather or dried. We had alot of fun and enjoyed learning some new skills.

Apricots

These tasted so yummy. We ate them right off the tree at the church orchard. There is something that is just so cool about that.

Just Like Mom

Your kids always want to be just like you. All they see is that you hold this thing to your ear and you laugh and talk and have fun. Looks pretty cool I guess. You are their complete role model. They try to do everything that you do whether it is good or bad. I am always worried about the bad. I always think oh I hope she doesn't learn that. I am sure you all know what I mean.

Isn't it amazing how she already looks like a teenager talking her life away on the phone!
