This is what happens when I try to get a picture of the two of my boys! Its almost impossible at this point. Hopefully some day Alec will want to sit still for more than 2 seconds.

Crazy Boy!!

So what are the odds that you are at your well check up appointment and your child cuts open his chin?? Yes Alec had his first experience with stitches at the Dr's office while I was talking to the doctor and my boys were being crazy. Alec was trying to climb up these wooden stairs and slipped and split his chin right open and bit his tongue. I freaked out because this was my first experience with stitches. (Ethan is so much calmer than Alec!) So we were at the Dr's office from 2:30 to 5 pm. It was horrible. That was probably the hardest thing I have had to do. I had to hold Alec down for over an hour and watch the Dr. sew up his chin. I am so glad that that experience is over!! That night he was up and running again! Oh and during this whole thing, I had to have Ethan pee in a cup. It of course was his first time and he was so confused, he said, "Mom I have to pee in the cup and then they're going to make me drink it?" At least we got a good laugh out of that!! :)

Draper Temple Open House

Ethan and I had the opportunity to go and see the new temple in Draper. Ethan was so excited, if you can't tell from the picture. :) He couldn't believe that he could go inside a temple. The temple was amazing and the spirit there was so strong. Ethan's favorite part was the "the big strong animals that hold up the water where you get baptized." He wanted to get in the water so bad. :) We had a great experience!Ethan and Cade

We started at a church where we watched a video about temples. We then got on a bus that drove us up to the temple.


This was Ethan's first time on a bus! He loved it!!
