One Question...

Why is it that when I don't have them in cute matchy-matchy clothes and the background is bad my children can pose and take a decent picture like this one above? They are both looking at the camera and both smiling! It's a cute picture of both of these two. BUT (and this is a big BUT) when I have them in nice clothes, in a nice setting, my children pull out this gem....
This past week, Matthew and I went to the Jordan River Temple and when we informed our children, they were so excited because they thought they were going, which they didn't. So, yesterday, we put them in their Easter Sunday clothes and took them to see the temple and take some pictures. They loved to see the temple. (Just like in the Primary song.) They were not so excited to take the pictures. I couldn't really get a decent picture of them both together, but I got a few individuals that I thought were cute. So MORE pictures from us, but I hope you still like them.



My fave



Lily was tired of taking pictures. This is her tired of the paparazzi pose.
I hate that the van is in the background of this, but I think Will is so darn cute!

A Month in Review

Our past month has been pretty crazy. This picture of Lily says it all! She got of out bed herself (she is now in a toddler bed!) and went to sleep in the chair in their room. Anyway, I just wanted to update everyone on the brighter side of our life! What better way to talk about my children than to show you?? They are hilarious and here is yet another photo gallery of my favorite pictures from the past month. Beware: there are many many pictures!

I am the camp director in our ward, and was given a lot of supplies. Since I live in an apartment with limited space, we have boxes and such stacked up in our front room! William and Lily LOVE to climb it. One day they sat down and posed and said, "CHEESE!" so I grabbed the camera. Just imagine a different background!

I gave them corn dogs with ketchup. Need I say more?
I love this picture of my William. His smile is genuine and I can't believe how old he looks!
I love her pigtail bed head. Her new nickname: Lily Longstocking.




One day when grandma and "Crap-pa" were here, we went up to Heber City to have a train day! We went to the Dairy Keen, which had train tables for kids, and had a train going around the ceiling. Then we went to the train station and who did we find there??
Only Thomas the Tank Engine! He was there for "A Day Out with Thomas" that was on Memorial Day. We showed up the day after he arrived, but since we didn't pay a billion dollars for tickets to have a day out with Thomas...
...his face was covered. Oh well. We just told the kids he was sleeping.
On the train at Dairy Keen.

Typical Lily.
William and Lily got sidewalk chalk for their birthday. We're pretty happy we have a cement slab as a wall outside now!
Last but not least is this gem. I can't help but laugh at this picture. Will just makes you smile with his cute smile. Lily makes me smile by, well, her face!

I'm really hoping that I can get back on track with blogging. It's something that I love to do, but I feel like I haven't had anything blog-worthy! Things are for sure looking up though, so I hope to have more to come!!
