More Catch Up

I think the months must be going faster and faster! I'm having a hard time keeping up!

 Bensen is so good.  Sometimes he just falls asleep while playing with toys!

Emily came home on August 7. Here we are all waiting for her to come down the escelator. Mike flew in from Kansas City Missouri and got in about 3 minutes before she did.  So he was able to go get her off the plane! I didn't get any good pictures of her with any of us. I mostly took video.

Here is my latest soccer injury.  I accidentally kick a girl in the knee with my follow through.  Ouch!

We have had a really fun summer, but I forgot to take my camera with me most of the time.

We went to Lagoon a lot, Jaycee was able to go on some rides she wasn't tall enough for last year, like The Samuri, The Rocket, Jet Star, Cliff Hanger and the Screamer! Every time she tries a new ride it becomes her favorite. She is fearless that way. 

We went to Pineview a handfull of times. 

We got caught in a really bad storm.  It poured on us, and there was lightening and thunder.  Wesley hasn't been the same since.  He is constantly worried about the weather.  We have to check it several times a day, and if there is a cloud in the sky it is really hard to get him to go out side. :( It is so sad.  He doesn't like the dark either.

He didn't want to go to the lake this time, but we got him up there and he loved it.

Bensen likes the sand, we don't let him spend that much time in it though.  I hate sand!

Wesley loves the sand.

Jaycee likes to play in the sand also, but she loves the water! She likes to ride the tube and the Water Rocket.  She even goes with the big kids and doesn't mind falling off. Like I said, she is fearless!

On August 21 we were able to go to the Ogden Temple Openhouse.

That was such a fun expierence!  The kids loved it.

I am so excited to be able to the Ogden Temple again! I know Bountiful really isn't that far away, but it kind of is. :)

Here is a picture with Aunt Emily, see, she really is home.

We were able to go with most of Mikes family. Josh, Marlee, Rylee and Cheryl are missing.

Jaycee's favorite part was the bapismal font and the lights.  She said she felt good and happy to be in the temple.

Wesleys favorite part was the swimming pool (he now knows is the bapismal font) and the movie you watch before you went into the temple.

Bensen was a little angel for the whole tour.

Look at that cute face!

Grandpa Randy and the kids.

After the temple we all went to "Chuck-a-Grandma" as my kids like to call it, and ate way too much food!

I am so grateful for Temples, and to have them so close.  I love that my family can be together forever.  We are truely blessed.

 On August 25 Jaycee started 2nd grade! 

They all got different teachers this year. It could be interesting.  I'm sure they will all do fine.

Mrs. Gold is Jaycee's teacher. So far she really likes her. I think it is because she didn't give them homework for the first week of school!

I can hardly believe that summer is over already!
