Draper Temple

We were able to go to the LDS Draper Temple Open House on Saturday! Kajsa was so excited to go inside another temple. Kajsa liked looking for all the pictures of Jesus on the walls of the temple. It definitely didn't disappoint and it was beautiful. We went with my parents, Lisa, Scott, and Megan. Not only was the temple a highlight for Kajsa, but we also got to ride a big bus that shuttled us to the temple. She thought that was fun!

Brynn enjoying the bus ride sitting with Poppy.


Kajsa sitting like a lady! haha!

Enjoying some of Poppy's cookie!

January, January, January...

Oh where has the month gone! Here is a little of what we have been up to!

Welcoming our cute new nephew/cousin Rome!

Hanging out at the hospital visiting

Getting some beauty rest while wearing some awesome sunglasses and sitting in a cool carseat! (We got a good deal on the carseat. Cow print wouldn't be my first option! But Kajsa loves it!)

Brynn loves to put anything that is long like this and crawl around with it in her mouth.

Kajsa has enjoyed "reading" books to Brynn lately.

I have been waiting for the day when they would hold hands in the car! I think it is so cute!

We got together with Laura and Melanie before Melanie headed back to Nebraska. Here are all our kids! Mine were the only ones who wouldn't cooperate for this picture!


Brynn loves babies! She loved being by Bree when she could.

January 2009

  • Kajsa was coloring and I overheard her say this, "Mickey Mouse, you need to wake up! I need to draw (color) you!" (The picture was of Mickey and he was sleeping)
  • Kajsa came over to where I was and said with a concerned look on her face, "Somethings sticking in my bum." I checked it out and she was experiencing a wedgie. Something new for her! haha!
  • I was putting on makeup and Kajsa asked me, "Why are you drawing on your eyes?"
  • The backtalking begins...After Kajsa goes potty, I remind her, "Flush the toilet." Then she says to me, "No, you flush your toilet." (She really isn't backtalking to me, she thinks it is funny to tell me what to do!)

The Moon Walk: Baby Style

Brynn kept doing this the other day and it was so funny. I just need to remember not to talk when I am videoing the girls. I sound so dumb! But I love hearing the girls laugh!
