{Cutest Boys in the World}

I might be biased, but I think I have the two most adorable boys in the world! I had my very talented cousin, Lindsey, take some photos of the boys a few months ago. It took me FOREVER to pick my favorites to order because I loved so many of them. I had been so worried about having Eli's picture taken because he is a little on the serious side and I wanted smiles. He had started teething the day before, was drooling everywhere, had little red cheeks and a fever. But, we got to Wheeler Farm, sat him on the grass and he was all smiles. It was Isaac who ended up being the challenge. He kept running off and making goofy faces--the little stinker. Here are my favorites of the day. Thanks, Lindsey!

{My Special Day}

On October 24, 2009 I received my endowments at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple in South Jordan, Utah. It has been a long time coming, and I am so happy that I finally did it! It was an incredible experience, and I have never felt so happy and peaceful in my entire life. I can't wait to go back! Tomorrow evening I will be going with part of my family to the Jordan River Temple to attend a session while my little brother, Caleb, receives his endowments in preparation for his mission. He has been called to the Argentina, Buenos Aires North Mission and will be leaving on January 6th. My other little brother, Zach, will be returning from his mission in Mexico on January 13th. I am so proud of them.

Thanks to all who shared in my special day--it means the world to me that you were there. The picture below is of some of my family after the session. I feel bad that I didn't get pictures with everyone who came for me, but many of them left right after the session ended. Thanks to BreeAnn for providing the camera--I can't believe I didn't take mine!

In this picture, from left to right...Branigan, Julie, Brad, Rondi, me, Grandma Brown (my mom's mom), Sharlene (my mom's sister), Grandma McDermott (Rondi's mom), Rachelle (Rondi's sister), and my cousin, BreeAnn. Love you, guys!

{Tunnel Time}

I thought I'd share this video of the boys that I shot when they were playing in the pop-up tunnel back in October. I wanted to post this on the "Tunnel" post a few days ago, but I couldn't figure it out. Isaac is loud (as usual) on this video, but Eli was having so much fun and Isaac's giggle is the BEST!

{Fire Station}

A few weeks ago I took Isaac and Eli on a playdate to a Fire Station here in Riverton. We went with several ladies from our ward and their kids. It was very cool. First, we were taught about what to do in an emergency and what to do if your house is on fire. Then, it was time to see the fire truck! Isaac was so excited! He got to go inside the fire truck, and see all of the buttons. They even turned the siren on! It was so loud--of course Isaac had his ears plugged. Silly boy!Then, all of the kids were given little fireman hats. Too, cute! Little Eli was a good little guy, checking everything out from the comfort of his stroller, drink in hand. It was a fun day.

{Tunnel}

Isaac has the coolest pop-up tunnels. He found them last month and decided that it was time to introduce Eli to the joy of crawling through tunnels. So, Isaac brought them out and I untied them and WHOOSH--they opened. I saw Eli's eyes get really wide and a huge smile land on his face. He was thrilled! At first he didn't quite know what he was supposed to do, but after watching Isaac go into them, he followed right behind. He loved every minute of it, and I loved every minute of watching my precious boys play together and love each other.
