Family Fun Time

We're trying to give our kids some fun experiences during the summer since I don't work on Fridays. So far, we've been to St. George (really it was in March, but it still counts), the dentist (Teanna wishes she could go back every day. Whenever we drive past the dentist's office, she asks if we can go in. She'll learn.), Thanksgiving Point and down to the Manti temple. Teanna was so disappointed she couldn't go into the temple, but both kids loved being there and talking about the special place by the rocks where dad asked mom the "most important question ever"! (It was, "Hey, how you doin'?" with an eyebrow raise and a hip nod. Just kidding. "Will you marry me?")

Enjoy the pictures.

This is how Cole slept on the way home from St. George. I think he was a little bugged by his sister at this point.

Teanna the movie star (love those sun glasses they let you wear) getting her teeth cleaned.

"I love the dentist! My teeth are so clean!"

Teanna only rode the horses once. Not much of a cowgirl this year.

Cole, however, rode them 3 times! And he loved it.

Me and the kids. Cole started saying "cheese" when we took these pictures. It was awesome.

Jen and the kids. Still as beautiful as the day we trudged through the snow for our wedding pictures.

Jen and Teanna. I couldn't help but think about how important Jen is for our kids, holding their hands and helping them step by step on their journey through life.

Two beautiful kids. Best of friends. As we left the temple, Teanna said she wants to marry Cole in the Manti temple. (We're still working on that one...)

I swear you have such a cute family. I have a picture very similar to the one of Cole sleeping in the car. ;) Doesn't every little thing they do just make you laugh?

I love that I can almost hear your voice as I read it. You write exactly how you talk and I like it. Anyways, I love the picture of Jen on the stairs, very cute. And the picture of Teanna in the dentist chair looks just like Oaklee. I had to even tell ryan that it wasn't oaks but teanna. I think it's awesome that you are doing a lot of weekend trips to do stuff. We should do stuff together as we show our kids the world. (I enjoy that I invited myself.)

Seriously, when are we getting together again?? We need to BBQ at a park or something! It was fun to read an update, you should do it more often!! (Just a little pressure!) But addressing what jaclyn said, you can tell the it is not oaklee in the chair- because she is not crying!!! Maybe Teanna can have a talk with oaks about the dentist!!

Cute pictures. Josh and I actually just visited the Manti Temple a couple of weeks ago. We hardly ever get down to Manti, so it was super fun reminicing and remembering our wedding day. Our daughter Phebe was so excited to see all the princesses(the brides) coming out of the castle.

Your guys are awesome!!!!
