Family Photos

My mom has been asking me for a updated family picture for a while, so on Saturday we decided we would give it a shot.  We got all ready, and had my sisters come and help us.  We went to my sisters neighbors back yard, the Goldings. Wesley was not all that happy to be taking pictures, Bensen wasn't either. He hasn't been feeling well, and I am pretty sure he is getting teeth.  We were able to get a couple good ones though.

One of these is going to Grandma LouLous.

We got all done and I came home and found the one I wanted and tried to order a large canvas for my wall.  I have the pixels on my  camera turned down so I can put more pictures up on the blog, apparently for a large canvas they need to be turned up higher! So about 5 hours later we went back to the Goldings to take more pictures! You can see how trilled Wesley is, he wasn't happy the first time around.  I still think it turned out pretty good. We got a nice fake smile out of Wesley.

This was the original picture I chose.  We will still give this one to Grandma Carmae.

Wesley actually did like doing this picture.

Look at those faces! We are so blessed!

Like I said earlier Bensen is usually the happiest baby ever, but the last couple of days have been rough.  He has a cold, and hasn't been sleeping well.  Ever since he learned how to sit up, and now stand he wakes himself up enough to sit or stand, then he can't get back down. We've had some crazy nights! And he is getting teeth on top of that. All thing considered he did really well.

He is still pretty cute.

In this one Wesley wanted to hold Bensen, and Jaycee didn't want to be left out.

Jaycee was the only one ready and willing to cooperate! She loved getting her picture taken, so I got a lot of good ones of her.

Isn't she lovely?

Wesley was less then thrilled. But look how handsome he is, and he looks so grown up.

When did he get so big?

Here is one we took later in the day.

We really only had a couple of mishaps. Other then closed eyes and such.

Good times.  I'm glad we have a couple good pictures to show for it.

 

 Today was the Ogden Temple re-dedication.  I am so grateful for Temples, to have them so close and for the beautiful ordinances that take place there. I love my family so much, I am so glad we get to be together forever.

School

Jaycee is loving school.  Every other year starting school has been a nightmare! She usually has major anxiety about it.  This year she has had no problems! I was really worried when we found out the niether Mae or Paige were going to be in her class. Well, I worried for nothing.  She did start getting homework, but so far it is not too bad.

We loved the temple so much, that when we had the opporunity to go back, we jumped on it.

 We went with Amber's family and Grandma and Grandpa Bailey. Jaycee didn't come with us this time, she was at a church class party.

 Wesleys first day of Preschool was on September 2! He has only been 2 days, but he loves it.

 Brody is in his class.  His teachers name is Miss Julie.

 Oh my goodness, Bensen has been busy this week.  I guess you could say he is doing his own kind of school.  He got a tooth, learned to crawl and to sit up! He is all over the place now. He really likes to make it to the tile. Getting teeth is hard business!  We had several sleepless nights, and a couple sad days. Hopefully the rest of his teeth are a little nicer to him.

This is how I found him yesterday.  I put him down for about a minute, came back in the room and he was out!  He is so cute.
