I Love To See The Temple

A few Sundays ago we spent some time on the temple grounds. There is no better place to reflect on the love of a family and the hope of an eternity together.

Soccer

Ella got to play soccer for the first time this year. I loved watching her play. She had a constant smile on her face as she chased the ball and would look over at us every so often to give us a thumbs up or a quick wave. She played very hard, tried her best, and came close many times but just couldn't come up with the coveted goal until the last game when, what do you know, she scored 4 goals. I've never seen her smile so big.

Mommy Preschool

They made it and so did we. Lincoln participated in a home preschool that I did with two other moms once a week. Every morning he would ask if it was preschool day because he loved it so much. I wish I could say he is welcome to marry either of the two lovely ladies below, but unfortunately (or fortunately) one of them is his cousin.

Lincoln, Polly, Layla

Logan Turns 2

10 things about Logan:

1. Loves to say "Ella", will not say "Lincoln."

2. Believes the words to the song "Popcorn" are "Popcorn over there" repeated over and over again.

3. Thinks nothing is better than hanging out with mom whether that be during the day or in the middle of the night when he should be sleeping in his own bed.

4. Went from hating to loving to despising nursery. Makes for a fun Sunday.

5. Likes to bully Ella and Lincoln. They let him get away with way too much.

6. Hates eating. What kid doesn't like popsicles, fruit smoothies, grapes, cookies, crackers, etc.?

7. Speaks another language. I still can't catch half of what he is telling me.

8. Has the longest eyelashes ever.

9. Thinks horses are cows.

10. Is just plain hilarious to be around.

Snow Fun

We found a great sledding hill near the Bear Lake condos.

Ella enjoying herself...but seriously, who bought her that hat?

Lincoln and Logan were not afraid of getting a little air.

I wonder where they get that from?

All the Jones cousins (Kirsten, Kyler, Kaden, Lincoln, Logan, Ella, Hunter).

Here We Go - President's Day

I have a lengthy To-Do List of things I want to accomplish before #4 arrives. One of them is actually to update my blog because, lets be honest, I probably won't do it again until after #4 is here.

First item of business President's Day 2010:

Description: Amazing, sunny, family trip to Zion National Park. Lots of hiking, hot-tubbing, climbing of rocks, tunnel driving, and time spent with family. Loved it.

Attendees: Our lovely family, great grandpa and grandma (Boyd and Phyllis) Smart, grandpa and grandma (Larry and Joyce) Smart, Paul Smart family, John Smart family, Katrina and Evelyn (sans Jordan unfortunately), and Michelle and Shay.

We'll make a hiker of Logan yet.

Lincoln, Katrina, Me, and Ella on a muddy hike.

Yes, that is Jeremy on the top of that massive rock.

He was the only one to accomplish it by himself and we were very proud.

Ella, of course, also had to try.
