Partners in crime

Since Maddison has gone back to school these two play it is so fun to watch them play and the things they come up with.

We went to the Brigham city temple open house and of course we forgot the camera :( but I did get a few on the phone but not of the whole group. We had the opportunity to go twice and we went on a Thursday and no one was hardly there it was a great experience and we went through and I asked Dave at the end of the tour where the brides room was and he said it was back by the dressing rooms. That was one room I wanted to see so we went back up to the dressing rooms and it was closed off but I asked the lady if we could seek back there and take a look. She said we could and we were able to take maddison and jax in the room and we were so lucky that they were able to see that room because they did not let people back there on busy days. Which Saturday was when we took the whole crew through. I did have the opportunity to clean the temple one night. My group was the lucky group and got to clean the floor where the brides room was. It was such a great experience and then we had a special tour that took us thought he temple and explained a few more things in detail. Like the japanese grass in the wall paper. The tiles on the celing were put on one by one and my fsvorite fact that to cut the designs in the carpet they had wool carpet and a guy would come in draw the design with magic marker and then take hair clippers and cut the design in the carpet. It was absolutely amazing. Oh I could have stayed there for ever.

Wicked

After waiting 9 years I finally or to go to wicked and it was amazing!!! We went the family and it was such a great show!!! Defiantly worth the wait! We dropped the kids off at my brothers house and went to the brio Tuscan grill for dinner and then to the show. It was a great date night.

First Day of School

It's that time of year when the moms rejoice when it is finally time to go back to school. I was that mom until yesterday when I realized that Maddison is at school all day. I was holding back the tears trying to act brave walking her into school and to her class and then i got to the car and lost it. Yes I am a boob i will be the first to admit it. I can't believe that she is in first grade. She loved the first day of school not exactly the fact that she has to wear uniforms but she loved having lunch with her friends and that they have a tarantula as a class pet. I think she is going to have a lot of fun at the charter school this year. I mean who wouldn't, a tarantula as a class pet. Need I say more.

You can tell by her face not thrilled about the outfit

Trying to act happy

My favorite these other two thought that they were headed to school too and wanted their picture taken.

Jax had is bracelets on and his book he was ready!

All in good time, all in good time.

Stewart Falls

A week or so ago we went up and stayed at a cabin in Sundance with family and we had so much fun. when we told the kids where we were going they cheered right away because they knew that their 'Cousins" were going to be there and that it has a slide down stairs. We just stayed the night and the next day Jax, dave, Brynlee and I hiked up to Stewart falls. Maddison decided to stay behind because she was having a grumpy day;) It was a short yet perfect hike and the reaction Jaxton had when we got there was worth it. He was so excited yet did not want to get close to it.
