Salt Lake Temple

So it has been a while since I have blogged. We are just so busy between preschool, dance, my school, and work. We did finally find some time to go up to the temple. Brooklyn has been asking for a couple of weeks to go to the temple. She obsessed with the temples lately. We go pass the Oquirrh Mountain Temple ( the one up by daybreak in west jordan) on our way to daycare. She ask to go to the castle temple (Salt Lake Temple) since the other is under construction still. The girls loved it there. Brooklyn kept on asking to go in and we kept trying to explain to her that she couldn't. She was so sad.

Brooklyn's First Day of Preschool

Brooklyn started Preshool yesterday. She has been so excited to go. Of course I cried after I dropped her off. We walked up to the door and I asked if she wanted me to take her in and she said no and bye. Here is just a few pictures.

Marissa and her babies had to get in the picture.
This was after school. They came out with these cute crowns they had made.
This is Brooklyn with her teacher, Ms. Nicole. Brooklyn said she loved it and can't wait to go back!

Park City

Every Labor Day weekend we go to Park City. My Aunt has a condo up there and we all stay in it. This year we decided to get our own room so we could have our own space.
This is us standing in line to get on the ski lift so we could go on the Alpine Slide.

This is us trying to entertain the kids going up. They wouldn't let anyone sit on laps so it was pretty scary taking Marissa up it. She kept trying to stand up. We had to sing the whole way up to keep her somewhat calm.

These are after we went down. They both loved it and wanted to go again.

This was at the pool. My kids are fish, they love the water and would stay in the pool all day if I would let them.

Vivian Park

This is so cute of the girls walking down to the river. Kalee, Marissa, Brooklyn, and Jaisha. In the background is Brady and Kaiden.

This is Brooklyn and her second cousins. Alexis, Kaiden, Kalee, Brooklyn, and Bailee. Marissa had fell asleep.

This is the first time that I have been to vivian park, it was a lot of fun for the kids. Brooklyn had to the bathroom while we were there and was scaried to because they had the big hole so she asked if she could potty on the grass. It was so cute. After going to the restroom a couple of times she finally went.

Lagoon

Here is Brooklyn, Marissa, and Grace (cousin) getting ready to ride the helicopters. Of course it had to be the army helicopter. It's like what daddy rides in. They just wanted the ride to start. Who cares about pictures.

Watch out we have to crazy girls driving.

This is Brooklyn on the Tidal Wave. She loved it! She wanted to go on all the big rollercoasters but was 3 inches to short. So hopefully next year.

This is Marissa posing so cute on the train. Isn't she adorable.

They aren't really interested in taking pictures with mom, I guess. They are just worried about when the train is going to start.

Swimming

We pulled out our swimming pool and slip and slides and had a little party. Some of the neighborhood friends came and played. Brooklyn and Marissa love the water. They would go swimming everyday if I would let them.

Chores

End product. Looks pretty good! Good Job Brooklyn!

So we started having Brooklyn do little chores like help make her bed and help with the dishes. She loves doing it. Here she is making her bed for the first time. I need some ideas so help me out. I want to reward her somehow at the end of the week, do you have any ideas.

Popsicle

The other day Marissa brought me a popsicle to eat and I told her no because it was almost lunch time. So I went and put the popsicle back in the freeze and went in the other room. Marissa went back to the freezer and found the chocolate bars that have the foil raper so she was able to open it and eat it. She was loving it! I suggest that you don't get a frige with the freeze on the bottom if you have little ones. She is always in it getting popsicles and ice.

This is her after I took it away she was so mad.

Corn on the Cob

I had to post these. They love corn on the cob.

Ward Summer Party

The kids got to do a parade. We decorated the wagon with all of the old birthday decorations. It was fun.

It was a lot of fun. We had breakfast and got to play.

Day at Seven Peaks

The girls loved seven peaks. They both went on the tube slides and went on all the little kids slides by theirselves. Brooklyn was putting her head underwater and Marissa was watching and decided to do it. It was definitely worth the cost. They really enjoyed it.

Brooklyn's swimming lessons

This is Brooklyn's last day at swimming lessons. This is the second year we have done swimming lessons at the Lehi Legacy Center. Last year was a parent and child class, it was a lot of fun. She did really good this year. She will go under the water by herself and can float with a little help.

Happy 24th

This is that night at the rodeo. We tried taking Brooklyn this year and she enjoyed the horses and bucking bulls.

The girls love going on rides at the carnival.

Marissa really into the parade. She like running for the candy.

Brooklyn having fun at the parade. She loves her candy.

This is Brooklyn and Marissa at their cousins. These are all of Bret's sisters kids, Grace, Madison, and Luke. We didn't ever try to dress them the same.

This is Brooklyn and Marissa with their cousin Abbie. She is my brother's little girl. They were having fun at the parade.
