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!

3 Months!

The time sure does fly by when you have kids. It has gone by a lot faster having two kids. Landon is already 3 months old. He has already rolled over from his back to his stomach! He is getting so wiggly now. We moved him in with Brooke which is going a whole lot better than I ever thought it would. She sleeps right through him crying, and I think she actually likes having someone in there with her. This morning when they woke up they were both just chattering back and forth. They sure know how to melt your heart. Brooke has been so amazing with him. She is so caring towards him. Whenever he cries she runs to the rescue. We had him in his car seat when we were getting ready to leave and he was crying so she went over and handed him his blanket, he kept crying so she gave him his elephant, he was still crying so she tried giving him his binky. She is such a sweetie to him!
