The Last Week or So!

Sno-cones!!! Or as Josie would say "yummies"

My mom has been watching my brother Joel's kids, Rachel and Owen, for the past week while they were in Costa Rica. They will mostly likely be moving there so I wanted Josie to be able to play with her cousins as much as she could while they were close. She loves, loves playing with them. One of the days (and the only day I took pictures) we went to the Air Force Museum at Hill Air Force Base. The kids loved seeing the planes up close and they also loved collecting rocks from there.

Owen, Josie, and Rachel.

Josie wanted to be in the picture too.

I was busy getting dinner ready and Josie was watching Dora. I looked over and Josie was holding Hayden... and he was just sitting there watching Dora with her. I thought it was so cute! I am glad they are little pals!

Hayden just learned how to clap a couple of weeks ago. He was clapping at Josie and some neighbor kids riding their bikes:) I love him!

This was on Pioneer Day.

Hayden eating with a metal fork.
Who gave it to him? My guess would be Josie. Who didn't take it away and is taking a picture of it? Your guess is as good as mine, neither Marcus nor I remember taking this picture. I guess he didn't hurt himself with it and it is a cute picture!

I filled the cooler up for Josie and gave her some cups to play with the water and next thing I know she has stripped down even taking her diaper off and is sitting in it. She kept saying "bath". My cute little girl!

Temple Trips!

Josie was enjoying her cookie and Hayden was looking at it
trying to figure out how to get some of it.

Outside the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
We decided to take the kids and go to the Temple Open House. They did so good and loved it so much! I was actually really surprised cause I thought they would be too little. I told Josie right before we got there that we were going to see the temple and so when she saw she kept pointing excitedly and saying "temple". She enjoyed the pictures of Jesus and she mooed when she saw the oxen at the baptismal font. Hayden was good through the whole thing but I think his favorite part was the cookies and water:)

These pictures with Marcus and the kids are outside the Provo Temple. Some good friends of ours, The Shepard Family, had their two adopted children sealed to them. I went to the sealing while Marcus stayed out with Josie and Hayden. They had fun looking at the fountains and flowers. By the time I got out though they were hot and ready to go home but I did manage to get a couple pictures of them first. Josie wasn't too happy about the picture taking but Hayden seemed to like it.
