Field Trip

Mount Timpanogos Temple

Happy kids...(they haven't figured out they are freezing yet!)

Okay, now they have all figured out they are freezing and especially done taking pictures!

Alayna and Jacob...we didn't know the temple was under construction...hence, the men working in the back ground.

A group of ladies from the ward went to the Mount Timpanogos Temple. It was a great idea from Britta, to take her kids to all the temples in Utah. So today we went to one. The weather didn't turn out to be the best...it was freezing. So we made the trip a short one at the temple and then ate lunch. Except we ate lunch at the most random place, in the Harmon's grocery store on the second floor. It worked out great. We then went to Boondocks, to let the kids play in the kiddy land. It made for a fun day!

The icing on the cake!

Have you ever had a product that you thought was so cool? Well I have found one. I was watching a television show years ago. I heard them talking about internet filters. At the time Jared and I didn't have the internet in our home, so it didn't apply to me. I remember thinking, "When I have the internet I want to have that filter!" I remembered it had something to do with a dog, k9 and policemen. Random I know. But a few months ago we got the internet in our home and Jared and I both feel we should have one. So I had this moment..."about a dog,k9 and policemen." So I googled it and I found the exact filter I was looking for. It is a free filter that is amazing. Here is the website for all of you who need one. The icing on the cake for me was two things. One...you have the ability to block Web Advertisments...I don't know about you but I hate having to hold up one hand and sheild the unsightly ads on the sides and top of the web pages while your trying to read your email. The second was when I had to tell my good friend Emily about this filter, because I thought it was so cool. Come to find out she had the exact same one! Go figure we are friends. So with that in mind, go check it out! It is truly the very best. It has many great features...you can deny times of use, you can track all activity on the internet, you can block certain words, themes, etc. It really is great and it is FREE!http://www1.k9webprotection.com/

Mr. Trouble...

If this isn't the look of Mr. Trouble, I don't know what is. I had that "Mom" feeling..."Where is my little guy...he's too quiet for his own good!"

I apparently didn't shut the bathroom door all the way, because he found his favorite place to hang out! I decided I had to take a picture this time for a couple reasons.(Yes, he has done it plenty of times before! Gross I know!) One, I had actually cleaned my toilets just a few minutes before, so I new he wouldn't catch some deadly disease...well at least I hope not! Two, because he LOVES to find the toilet so I figured I better document this toddler behavior. So there ya have it, the inevitable baby boy toilet pictures.

I figured I should post a picture of him taking a bath...I promise I did throw him right in to the bath tub! What a cute little guy, huh?

Mr. Olympia...

This was Jake's favorite activity yesterday. He thought he was so strong...he'd squat down...(grunt a little)...grasp the ball just right and stand up. It honestly was hilarious. Then he'd walk it over to Jared and I and just giggle. He did this over and over!

A Special Weekend

This weekend was a special one. Kierra Madsen, the oldest of the grandkids was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a wonderful experience, to watch her be so excited and feel so special. Alayna thought she looked like a princess. She truly did. We had a huge family support and we were so happy to help celebrate with her. It was a beautiful hot day.
