Grandpa, My Friend

While we were on vacation this summer Jacob had time to spend with his friend. Thanks for the great memories Grandpa!

Preparing for Their Futures

So Jacob latest building projects has been service and church orientated. Jacob builds Sacrament trays out of Lego. He came up with this idea, completely on his own, "I just thought about it." Today he was teaching Noah, what a Deacon does and how to pass the trays, they are helping each other preparing for the future. Blink and we will be there...just seven years from now! So proud of my righteous husband and sons!

Balloon Fiesta!

Saturday, our family went to the International Balloon Fiesta. What an experience of a life time! We were all in a state of pure amazement, as we had never seen anything like it and never been around so many people. Tim stated with how many people we saw there would easily fit the population of Pocatello, Idaho. The news said tens of thousand were there for this unforgettable event.
We got there after the "Mass Ascension", perfect timing as not all the balloons can go up at the same time, impossible due to the number that finally go up, just 624 baloons! We were able to watch many balloons get ready to fly, plus we were standing to two balloons and touch them as they blew up. We got some neat pictures but they don't do this event judgest. The only way is to experience it for yourself, right Greatpa and Grandma (both have come and riden in a baloon themselves).
We saw some balloons that our family would like: Dad and my brothers: An eagle, Mom: A strawberry and Star Wars Fans: Darth Vader.

Book of Mormon Play Dough Style

This was Tim's idea for Family Home Evening a week ago and we had so much fun doing this activity. We each could make something out of play dough that was in the Book of Mormon. Jacob made an orange arrow and a white pencil to write on the Golden Plates. Noah made the sixteen, white stones in the story of the Brother of Jared (he wanted to taste them). Tim made a sword, sling, and an arrow. I made the Golden Plates and the Temple Bountiful (green). Now this week for FHE we are cleaning and organizing out the boys room, not as fun but needs to be done. Quess who's idea was this?...Daddy's too.

All Of 21 Months!

The lastest pictures of one year old Noah-

3. Baby Cake!
4. My dump truck is full!
5. Going bananas!

Surprise Me Again!

Tim loves to surprise me or lately he has been. We brought a van last Friday, as I surprise to me Tim has been researching for a while, finding out which van would be the best purchase for our needs. So Friday, after celebrating Jacob's birthday, he said, "Why don't we go and "look" at vans?" I have learned from this experience and others in our married live together, Tim doesn't "look" or "browse" for idems that he wants or needs. Tim goes and gets what he wants. Way to be sweetheart! I love you! FYI: I love driving it! It is a Dodge Caravan 2007, silver outside and dark gray inside.

Going To School- Pre School Style

Jacob goes to pre-school Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from eight to eleven thirty, every week for the whole school year. He started this past Monday, complete with homemade cupcakes and apple juice that we brought from home, to celebrate his 5th birthday. He loves school and making new friends!
P.S. Jacob picked out his outfit for his first day of school. Check out the shirt Grandma Wheelwright!
