Rainbows

Jonathan has just fallen in love with rainbows in the last little while!  He saw this one tonight and said it is just beautiful.  The other day we were driving home from somewhere and he saw one, and he really wanted to stop at Papa's to make sure he saw it!

Having a hard night!

Last night Gordon was having a hard night.  We are trying to transition him into Jonathan's room, and he is having a harder time then expected.  But last night just seemed harder then normal.  He is our cuddle bug, so I just cuddled up with him and enjoyed the one on one time with him!

Sarah goes to Preschool

Sarah started preschool this past week.  She goes three times a week this year, since last year they were not seeing improvement (neither was I).  She seems to be enjoying it, however what I get out of what they do so far is snack time and playing on the playground. :) She did mention them reading a few books , but I can't remember if she did or the teacher.  We are still looking for a good speech therapist for her at a decent rate. We have her first IEP tomorrow for this year!

Going to the Brigham City Temple Open house

We went with to the Brigham City Temple Open house as a family with some of my extended family!  Dave was able to get the day off and we went.  It was a great experience.  Jonathan's favorite part was the grounds of the temple and Sarah's was the baptismal font.

On the bus, going up to the temple!

After the tour and eating cookies!  Getting fresh air!

Our cute little guy, he is so fun to take a picture of cause he will actually stand and say cheese!

Our family picture! (However I of course was VERY HOT so it shows in my face)

I just love these pictures, this was Sarah's idea to go and act like they were going into the temple!  Such a cutie!

On our way back to the car, to get cooled off.  And then heading to Heidi's to eat dinner (at a cool house).

Hiking the Y

Dave was a good Daddy last week he took the kids and hiked the Y since I was sick.  Sarah and Jonathan was so excited to go.  Jonathan did great, Sarah did the best she could, Gordon feel asleep, and Daddy got a really good workout! 

Making Applesause

This past weekend we made a few batches of applesauce and canned them.  I think that this year has been my best year of making the applesauce, and the kids actually like it!  They were thrilled to help and loved putting on their aprons!

RANDOM

 He just loves his build a bear, he tells me that almost every other day.  I think that one thing that he loves is that he worked hard for something that he really wanted  and was important to him!  Which makes me happy!

 Yes this is how we find Sarah sometimes when she has finally fell asleep!

 Our sweet Gordon sleeping after a long day at church!

 Jonathan being a good big brother feeding him chocolate cake, Gordon has a little sweet tooth!

 We found this dinosaur at a garage sale and they all love it!

 Everyone helping momma get ready for the baby, sorting diapers!  And yes Gordon found his own spot all by his self.  He is becoming such a big boy!

 This is how everyone has felt in the last three weeks.  We have had the stomach flu around here.  Dave is the last to get it, and trying to recover from it right now.  Last week I was miserable and wanting the baby to be HERE.  But now I am thankful since Dave is sick.  I would rather wait till he is better.

Our cute boy enjoying a snack before bed!

Jonathan is in Kindergarden

Jonathan was excited to start school!  He is so eager to learn how to read!  We started the first full week in August!  He is doing great and starting the simple phonics of learning to read.  He wants to learn to read to bad, so that is what we have been focusing!  A while back I decided to homeschool Jonathan for many reasons.  We really like it.  Jonathan started a music class this past week, with lets play with music and he just LOVES it.  He can't wait to go to class tomorrow!  I really love the theory behind it!!!

4th of July Festivies!

 The fourth of July is one of our families favorite holidays!  The day before we went and saw the balloons!  Jonathan and Sarah just loved it!

 On the fourth we went to the parade, and then once we got hot we went to the water park, and then had a BBQ at Grammy's and after that we went and did fireworks at neighborhood party!  It was a fun day!

Going to Bear Lake at the end of July

 We spent a few days at the Lake for our family vacation!  We really enjoyed it, the kids were SOOO sad to leave.  We enjoyed the lake, the swimming pool, going to town, going on a hike, playing, relaxing, doing puzzles, eating good food!

 We found a great nature walk!  We all loved it, Gordon even walked over half of it.  But after that he was exhausted and feel right a sleep on daddys back!

 OUr first puzzle together!  It was really hard!  But we finished it!
