Mesa Arizona Temple

So Derek and I went to the temple this last weekend. He went in while I did errands and kids, then I went in while he did the Bass Pro Shop and kids. When I got there to switch him, I planned on sitting in the air-conditioned car and waiting for him to come out. Blake really didn't want to and adamently said "Mom, we have to go touch the temple. President Monson said.....or maybe Brampa (grandpa)." I thought that was so funny. So we did and I took these pictures as well.

Go to bed early.......

Savanna just moved into a toddler bed last week and let me tell you, it has been a steep learning curve. She is so excited to be "big" but she has fallen out several times, hence the padding by the bed. I went in one night to check on her before heading to bed myself and this is how she was sleeping. I don't know if she fell off and stayed asleep or just decided to bag the whole bed idea and not take the chance of falling off.

I am not sure what possesed him, but one day I found Blake asleep right outside the carport door. It looks intentional to me, but who knows?



The one picture that was supposed to go here was left out because I couldn't find my camera when I wanted to take it. On the 4th of July, we got up early(5:48) and rode on the firetruck in the town parade. The two boys just zonked out that afternoon. It was funny because Dathan fell asleep on the ground in front of the couch. Later Blake went in (I was watching), looked at Dathan, apparently thought it was a good idea, climbed on the couch and snuggled in, closed his eyes and was completely gone, all in the course of about 30 seconds.

Cluff's Pond

Savanna and Addy are starting to play cooperatively (within reason).

Blake didn't go much farther into the water than this (except when he tripped).

Dathan was a champion rower, especially when Bryant was acting as his motor on the back end.
