Skyler's 1st Birthday Party

So Skyler went to his first Birthday party last Saturday... I wasn't quite sure how my 3-year-old was going to do at a birthday party, especially a Princess Birthday party, but it went okay (besides the fact that Skyler barely wanted to leave my side to go do all the activities). But once they decked out the boys in crowns, shields, swords & turned them loose to play, Skyler suddenly knew exactly what to do. And boy did those boys get into it!

Who cares about damsels in distress
when you've got bad guys & dragons to fight?!




Before going to bed that night, Skyler had to find special "spots" in his room for all his new accessories... He sure loves to organize things & feel in charge of his space. What a great spot Skyler!
You sure make a handsome prince!

I Love to see the Temple!

So the other day we stopped by the temple while we were in Salt Lake. Skyler gets pretty excited about the temple, especially the Salt Lake one, because he knows that that's the one we got married in.

As we were crossing the road to get to the temple, Skyler's excitement got the better of him as he jumped up & down while holding Laron's hand & shouted, "Whoo, hoo! Whoo, hoo! We're going to see the temple! Whoo, hoo! It's the temple you got married in! Whoo, hoo!" Let's just say he didn't go unnoticed, particularly by an elderly couple walking behind us who I heard whisper to each other, "Man, he's more excited than if his parents had taken him to Lagoon!"

What a compliment... I suppose! :)

Family Pictures

My family took these pictures back on Labor day,
but I just got a copy of them from my Dad,
so I thought I'd share...










I sure love my wonderful family!
(As well as my brother Robert
who's on a mission in the Philippines.)
And thanks Mom & Dad for the cool shirts...
They change colors in the sun AND glow in the dark. Wow.
