Pictures in front of Jordan River Temple

I know we sort of dropped of the planet but we are alive! Anyway, here are a few pictures we took up at the Jordan River Temple last Monday. Our Stake President asked us to take pictures of our children in front of the temple so it would remind them of their goal to make it there. So we finally did. Now if i could only choose one to put up! :)

The Denver Zoo with Sally & Sox

We got to go to the Zoo today! It was a blast! I called Sox to make plans for Saturday and she happened to be going to the zoo too so we met her and her kids there. It was a good time. Here are some pictures:

Spencer's first airplane flight

We are down in Colorado visitng Sally for her graduation from the University of Denver (masters degree). Spencer got to ride an airplane yesterday (June 3rd, 2009) for the first time and I am sure he had no idea where he was.

Both of the kids were so good! I was expecting the flight to be very hard but both kids (especially Eva) were very well mannnered, happy, obedient, etc. The short length of the plane ride probably helped a little! :)

The plane was very empty so Spencer got his own seat. At first I had him on the isle but I had to move him to the middle. I got tired of picking up the toys he dropped into the isle (on purpose). Silly boy!

Termite update

Yesterday, the termite people came out and spot treated our basement with poison to get rid of the termites. They had to drill through the cement, shoot the poison into the soil below and repair the holes with more cement. I was hoping that I could close up the holes in the laundry room wall but the pest control guy said it would be best not to disturb the wall for another month, just to make sure the termites take the poison back to the colony and kill them all off. Not very nice, I know but I have to protect my house from those wood-eating critters!

Spencer's vocabulary update

WOW! Spencer's vocabulary grows about 2 words every day! Here are the newest additions: tummy, no, cheese, sissy (sister), and down. I can't believe he is getting so big! Rubia is hardly going to recognize him when she gets home. :(

Eva's pre-school talent show

Last Thursday was Eva's end of the year pre-school program. I can't believe the year is over already! All the kids got dressed up in their Sunday best so they all looked so sharp! Here is Eva:

All the kids - with the help of the teacher - sang some songs and showed us some sign language they had learned throughout the year. Eva didn't participate all that much but she is one of the younger one. Hopefully she does better next year (she missed the deadline to start school this year so she will attend pre-school for one more year).

Then each of the kids performed a talent all by themselves! Eva sang "I love to see the Temple" and she did a great job! YEAH, Eva!

Spencer's new Do!

Summer is upon us and I thought Spencer might appreciate a little less hair. I know that someone will be a little upset at me for cutting his hair so short but I remind her that it will grow back - it is only temporary. I kind of like it this way even though it will take some getting used to. The one on the left was right before and the one on the right is right after. I think he looks cute both ways! The short look is much easier!
