A couple pictures from our weekend. Rob and Jack had fun mowing the lawn. We had an awesome tour of Rob's work. For those of you who don't know he works for a company that family and or friends are not allowed in. You have to have some serious clearance to go in. Once a year they have an open house for the families. It was really cool to see where Rob works and all the amazing things his company builds. I knew it was big, but I didn't really have a realistic picture of it in mind. I have one picture of the outside...no pictures were allowed inside. Saturday night we drove down to Provo to eat some of the MOST DELICIOUS yogurt at Rich's (my brother-in-law) new store, YOZONE. The yogurt store is really fun! It's self-serve with yummy flavors and all the toppings you can dream of. I've already planned out my next trip down there...toppings and all. They have done a FANTASTIC job with it. The grand opening was last weekend- started off with a bang for sure. Here's to selling yogurt for many years to come! Jack and Luke loved the Yozone so much that they found a corner and were going to spend the night. Congrats, Rich and Abby!
We had one packed week last week. My brother and sister-in-law were here visiting from AZ and they brought their three kids. The week started off with the blessing of Baby Jillian- what a special day! Then we seemed to just have way too much fun. I don't think Jack has recuperated yet :). Thanks Josh and Cheryl for spending some of your vacay time with us. We sure love you guys and wish that we were closer, but always love seeing you!Great-Grandma Rogers with Jillian- she made the blessing dress that Jillian was blessed in. Abby was blessed in the same dress.
Alex, Ryan and Jack at the Pumpkin Patch. Jack kept saying apple or ball for the pumpkins...maybe next year he'll get it. Playing at the Dinosaur Museum.
Blowing bubbles with Aunt Abby. Kangaroo Zoo with Luke! Jump, Jump, Jump!
Last night for FHE we went with our buddies to get pumpkins. Luke and Jack had a great time running around the pumpkin patch. Luke even found a rubber rat. Yeah for Fall!
Brayten, Rob, Barrett & Meggan Great air Rob! Here are the wakeboarding pictures from a couple weekends ago when we were in Lake Powell. We had such a great time. Thanks friends for having the cool toys that we can play with!
Due to last nights miracle that the Utes pulled off, my weekend will be full of joy and happiness! I love those great football moments when things turn our way. What a fun game last night. The stadium was PACKED, Rob's voice was gone by halftime and I couldn't stop him from storming the field after the game (not that I wanted to). You know the best thing about being 6-0? It's the chance to be 7-0...this is what I've been learning at my football class. Thank you Utes for pulling off that miracle win so I could enjoy a great weekend. TEAM LOUIE- we LOVE YOU!
I'm going to keep a running list of some funny things that have come out of our child's mouth as of late...
-During our family prayer last night Jack was helping Rob say the prayer and Rob said "help us to stay healthy" in which Jack replied "help us to eat our mushrooms and tomatoes"
-Jackson looking into the rearview mirror of the car was a little sad and told me that he had sad eyebrows.
-"Mom do you think Heavenly Father and Jesus like to play the Wii?"
-J: "Mom this pen doesn't work it need batteries"
Me: "No Jack you are just using a white pen on white paper silly"
-J: "Mom"
Me: "Yes, Jack"
J: "I NEED some Chocolate to make me feel better"
Me: "You do?"
J: "Yes, PLEASE!"
Me: "You bet!"
-Jack asked me if he could play the Wii and I told him no. He then proceeded to say: "Okay then, here are my options- I can play with trains, cars, toys, read books" I said trying not to laugh, "Yes Jack those are all good OPTIONS."
-I was at the store in the dressing room trying on some skirts. Jack was in there with me, he looked up at me and said, "Mom, you look like a princess". Ahhh, that melted my heart!
-I got a message late one Sunday night from the Nursery leader at church. She said that during singing time Jack was singing some different words to the song, "If you're happy and you know it". They were on the verse, "If you're happy and you know it shout hooray", well, the words coming out of Jack's mouth were, "If you're happy and you know it shout, GO UTES". We couldn't be more proud :)!
-Monday all day Jack kept asking to play the Wii. I told him we were going to play for FHE later that night. We'll at least five times during the day he runs into the family room and gets on his knees and folds his arms and says "I'm ready for FHE". You think he wanted to play the Wii- or was he that excited for FHE?
