Growing so fast!

She has the best little smile!

My little Bailee is growing just too fast. She's been sleeping through the night since she was 6 weeks old. It's been fantastic. I finally got her room organized and her bed made. Last night she slept in her own room for the first time. She is such a good girl. Hayden came into my room to tell Bailee good morning and only found an empty bassinet. He asked where she was and I told him she was a big girl and slept in her own bed. He asked where the next baby was to put in the baby bed. Um. The next baby.

Step 3 - Baking

Well, I think that we can all agree - I have 2 very good little bakers! They tasted pretty darn good! Nice job Logan and Zach!

Step 2 - The apples.

We picked the apples yesterday. Today, Zac washed them and then Logan and Hayden took over. Logan put them on the peeler, peeled them - Zac removed them cut them in half and removed the core from the peeler. Hayden would then hold down the lever that allowed Logan to pull the arm back. They really worked well together. Logan and Zac each layered their apples into the crust and spooned pie filling over each layer.

Step 1 - The Crust

The boys helped me make fresh apple pie today. It was a lot of fun. They mixed the shortening with the flour and salt. Then added water to make the dough into a ball. Zach held his up and said,"Is this good enough or does it have to be a perfect sphere?" Yes, he is Brian's son.

We love our family!

Kallee, Ashley, & Krista flew in Wednesday to attend the Keith Urban concert. We were lucky to be able to visit with them for a while and then go out to dinner. We sure wish we all lived closer! Grandma and Grandpa Andrew drove down and then flew to Vegas for a little while. It was super to see them too!

Pass the pliers and butter!

This is Brian's Alaskan catch -- actually purchased in Juneau and brought home. I think a shoe would taste good dipped in butter -- not as good as the crab. Crab isn't my favorite but it wasn't bad. The boys had a great time. They really liked cracking it open.

While Daddy's away -- we went to play!

We went to Grandma & Grandpa Crump's house with Mary while Brian was in Alaska. We had a great time. Marc and I put baseboards in Mom's kitchen and dining room. While we did that, Amanda and Grandma took the kids to Albion to a really cool park and then to the dairy to see where milk comes from. The kids had a ball! I here there are some great pictures. I'll have to wait until Mom gets her latest purchase so she can burn me a cd.

Fishing with the boys at Doc Warner's

Brian had the chance to go fishing at Doc Warner's with Brad, Johnny and Uncle Stewart. I think they had a great time! You are fishing and not at work, right? They spent a lot of time fishing and not a lot of time catching but had a great time!

Style them FaBuLoUs

I'm so excited. I've had a blog I've been following and I love the hair styles that she does - soooo, I called and made an appointment for next Thursday ---yeah! Yes, it is a little crazy to drive to Layton to get a hair cut but what the heck! Thanks to Mary for babysitting!

Oh, oh, oh it's magic!

So for a month and a half, we (Logan) have been waiting for the Wizards of Waverly Place Movie. Ohhhh....... Since Brian went to have fun in Alaska, I decided we could have fun here. I bought some "magic" items to snack on that night while we watched our movie. Magic Shell ice cream topping, giant pixie stick "wands" that turned their mouth blue, chocolate milk and popcorn. It was a good time.

Free Shipping?

Brian had a little surprise today. A UPS truck backed into his parked truck at work. Then the driver left. Must be on a tight schedule. When I know more, I'll share more.

Ultimate Compliment???

My mom gave me an awesome apron for my birthday this year. I love it! I've been wearing it when I cook dinner. Last night Logan looked at me and said,"You look like the lunch ladies." I said, "Really? Just like 'em?" "Ya, but their hair is bigger!" What do you think? He could have said a lot of things, flat hair isn't bad.

Temple Day

Today was a special Sunday for Utah. The Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication. Our stake president sent a letter to each family urging us to make this a special day. We actually got tickets to attend the dedication but only two of us could attend. We decided to have a special family home evening like we were asked. We visited our temples in Utah County. On the way we read the information from our stake president's letter and talked about why temples are important and why we have temples. It was a great time. I think that we learned a lot as a family. Bailee is not pictured at the temple but I did take a picture of her asleep to let you know what she was doing.

Just some cute pictures of Bailee - in case you wondered if she could get any cuter!

Fun with Nick & Claire & Jake

We had a great day on Friday. Mary came down with the kids and played in the pool and had dinner. It was a great time. It's so nice to have them home!

First Day of School 2009

I hope that the pictures aren't too shaky. I tried to control the "Happy Dance" as much as I could. They are so excited to go today! I hope they have a great day. I love that Zac puts his arm around Logan. They really became great friends this summer. As they walked across the lawn and down the road Zac still had his arm over Logan's shoulder. Ummm, now what to do, what to do???? I'm getting on the treadmill!

Discussing Life with Zach

I have tender hearted boys! Zach and Logan found this butterfly in Grandma Crump's yard. Beautiful isn't it?
