Photo troubles

So I cannot get any photos to load. I am so frustrated because I have some cute ones of the girls and Russell to update but to no avail blogger is winning in my battle to post a picture.
These last weeks have been pretty busy, of course. On Aug 14 we took our family camping. Yes, with a new baby I know that is crazy but we just Had to get out to the mountains. And Yes, it was quite an adventure but fun also. We explored Payson canyon and it was beautiful. If you have not been up there yet you must go we went back and hiked around maple lake the next Monday with Uncle Jason and then Devin and Jason took the girls on another hike up the Grotto Trail on Tuesday.

On August 16th we blessed Russell. He was so cute in his little blessing outfit. I bought the one from the distribution center and it reminded everyone of a baby Joseph Smith outfit we even have a cute picture of him with his hands folded like he is praying. Of course you will have to imagine it because the picture will not post. We had such fun with our friends and family that joined us that day. Thank you to all of you for your support and love.

Now, we are embarking on a new adventure everyday called LIFE. Some days we attempt an at home preschool that often turns into a really long recess when the baby wakes up and interrupts. Yet, the girls think it is fun to play school and learn things from mom, well they like it most of the time.

Wow a lot of jibber jabber, just one more thing. We attended the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication yesterday. I am now more inspired and have set my goals again to be more diligent so I can reap the blessings of the temple in my family. I loved the talks and am so grateful for the opportunity to attend. (thanks to Becky and Eric for watching two girls and a newborn.)

Signing off and hopefully There will be pictures soon.

Sly One

So the other morning (before breakfast) Katelynne came running up to me with some smarties asking if she could eat them right now. I proceeded, as a strict mom would, to reminder her that we only have candy after lunch and only then if we eat all of our lunch. Katelynne then started to throw a bit of a fit and insisted that it was okay to have the candy now. She even began sucking on the candy with the wrapper on. So I sternly reminded her that it would soon be my candy if she didn't put it away. Well, sly Alexa had been watching the whole thing......soon she had a bright face on with a solution to the problem. This is what she told Katelynne:

"It's okay Katelynne, just do what I do. Go in your room and eat it!"

Needless to say, my jaw dropped to find out that my sweet little Alexa is so sly and takes candy to her room to eat it in secret so I can't tell her no.

Oh boy!
