Update













Last weekend my Dad and Cheryl took my kids and I plus my stepsister's family to see Walking with Dinosaurs. Jaden, obviously, had a blast. He loves dinosaurs anyway but to see them fighting and hear them roar was the ultimate! The whole time he kept asking when they were going to fight. Haley on the other hand pretty much slept through the whole thing except for the last little bit which she actually sat and watched to my amazement. A little while before she feel asleep Jaden had been roaring in her face which was making her cry so I was certain that when she woke up she was gonna freak.

Last night Josh and I got to walk through the Draper Temple before they dedicate it. It was amazing! There were different places that people would catch buses then drive up to the Temple in groups. We went as 7:20 pm so it was completely dark outside. As we got closer you could see the lights before the Temple. The Temple was also covered in fog which made it even more beautiful. That same night we had a hot date at the Marconi Grill. The food was great as always!

Jaden is growing up into quite the little man. He has been doing this thing lately where he stacks things or lines them up. He's pretty poud of the creations he makes :) He loves to hang on the back of Josh while he walks around the house. He also has this thing where he climbs up on his shoulders and just sits there. Even better he trys to scowl just like Josh. He's actually really good at it. Pretty much Jaden adores his dad which is adorable!

Haley rolls around everywhere and can get up on her knees and rock. She absolutely LOVES, and I mean loves, graham crackers. She also is really good and sitting up all by herself. She's our baby girl and has divtized our home :)

Framed


One more thing :) My Dad did some really cool collages of the kids with some pictures he took and I've finally framed them since Grandma and Pa Ackerman gave me some really nice 11 x 14 frames for Christmas, thanks again Ackermans!


It's finally done!
















Yesterday Josh finally put the china cabinet together and I love it! It was hard to get good pictures of it and the china but I tried and here they are. Enjoy :)



P.S. Dad you finally get to see what your china looks like in a cabinet......sixteen years later!
