What we have been up to

We have been really busy the last few weeks and I haven't had a chance to update our blog. Austin is napping and Jake is happily playing by himself, so I finally have a chance to get on the computer. Last week we drove over to Twin Falls and went through the temple open house. The temple is gorgeous. It was so neat to walk through the whole building. Jake and Austin had a little difficult time being reverent, but we survived. I wasn't sure if they got anything out of it, but as we were walking around the temple grounds Jake said to me, "Thanks for taking me to the temple." I hope he remembers this experience.


A couple of weeks ago all of Aaron's family were in town. SO we all went boating and on a picnic. There was a nice sandy beach which kept the boys very entertained. Jake went fishing off the dock a little and even went tubing for the first time. He loved it.


A few Saturdays ago we filled up our kiddie pool and set it at the end of the slide. The boys loved and it kept them entertained for a while. I didn't get too many pictures because I was trying to video tape the boys.



Jake just finished 2 weeks of swimming lessons on Friday. The first 2 days I wasn't sure if Jake was going to stay in the pool, but after that he did great. He loved the water and would do everything the teacher asked except float on his back. Overall I think it was a great experience for him!
