Tremonton, Brigham Temple, Box Elder County Fair

At the end of August we headed up to Tremonton for the Brigham City Temple open house. It was so much fun to be out of the heat and enjoy some cool air with cousins. The temple was beautiful. I love the feeling inside. Lex was a bit of a stinker in the temple and I didn't think she really paid much attention, I was wrong. Since we went thru she has become obsessed with temples. We have to often drive by the temple. She sings I love to see them temple several times a day. She ask to go to the temple often. I love it! Thank you Gary and Diana for allowing us to go and have such a special experience.
After the temple we headed to the county fair. To say Lexi loved it is an understatement. She still asks on a daily bases to go to the fair and see the animals. She loved the moo cows, horses and sheep. She also experienced her first carnival rides. She loved the ferris wheel. It was a great trip and we sure enjoyed our stay!

 

  Rav and Blair are still unsure of each other. I can't wait till they play!

Diana gave Lexi and Alvin the chipmunk stuffed animal and it was a major hit!

 Raegan and Lexi love to play with each other. They play so well together and had a blast!

 Peace!

 Rav LOVES the stroller. He thinks he is big in there and enjoys watching people!

Lexi's First Dance Class

Lexi started dance class and she loves it! Its called Too Much Fun, they dance around put on dress ups and at the end have a tea party. They have to go into the room by themselves and they shut the door and they can't see the parents. I had been preparing her telling her that she goes into class while I wait for her outside. When we got there and they opened the door she got nervous and clung to me. I promised her a new loopsy if she went in and she got up and went right in and hasn't hesitated since. She is in the class with her friend Maggie and loves going with her. They give her a stamp on her hand at the end and I am pretty sure that is her favorite part! I can't believe that my baby girl is old enough to be in dance. She sure loves it!

Rav's first rice cereal experience

We gave Rav his first rice cereal when he was 4 months old. He wasn't sure at first, but then he couldn't get enough. This kid loves to eat. He now giggles when he sees the spoon coming.

 I hope he is always a good eater!

  I love this picture. Lexi was sitting behind him and he LOVES her! He always just grins at her!

Lexi got to eat a chocolate doughnut while Rav enjoyed his cereal! As you can tell from the picture she loved it!
