We just returned from our 5 week stay in Utah. We had such a great time and the boys will definitely miss their cousins. Both Mac and Jaxton cried when we told the cousins "goodbye" and kept asking why we couldn't stay. Myles and Hailey got married the last day that we were in Utah and it was a beautiful day. Their sealer was Joseph F. McConkie and it was very cool to here everything insightful that he had to say. Their reception was held that night in Hailey's backyard, which included a pool, waterfall, playground, hot tub, volleyball court, etc. We had been telling the boys all night to stay away from the waterfall/pond and they had actually done well to listen. We made it all the way to Myles and Hailey's send off when Jaxton appeared completely wet from the waist down, with sand and grass caked on him. Come to find out he had got in the pond and then to dry himself off he had put sand and grass all over him. After he told me the story he was quiet for a minute and then he said, "What the crap was I thinking?" The kid is hysterical!
Mac and Jaxton took swim lessons at the SV pool (talk about childhood memories) while we were there in Utah. On the last day each of their classes got the opportunity to jump off the diving board if they wanted to. Both Mac and Jaxton were up to the challenge and Jaxton got up and did it with no problems. Mac on the other hand, tiptoed his way up, looked down at his teacher, and then as he jumped yelled out, "I'M GONNA DIE!" But he came out of the water with a big smile on his face and wanted to do it all over again.
Jilli started crawling toward the end of her 10th month and she just pulled herself up to a standing position for the first time today. She is growing up so fast and it's just breaking my heart. My favorite things are her snort face that she thinks is hysterical and her dancing. She will dance to any music, slow or fast, by bobbing her head and even doing a little shoulder shimmy. Our families fell in love with her and she quickly found a way into each of their hearts.
Beckam had everyone at home thinking he was the most sweet, layed back child ever, which he is most of the time, but he definitley has a super sassy side to him as well. A while back I had got after him because I thought he had broke our friend's sprinkler, only to find out that she had turned the water off. I then turned to Beckam and said, "Sorry, Beckam. I thought you had broke it," to which he replied (with arms folded and eyebrows furrowed), "That NOT otay!"
Jaxton's prayers lately have been pretty hard to keep a straight face during. Tonight he included in his prayer, "Bless that Heavenly Father will have a safe day in heaven, bless that Jesus will come down and visit me, and bless that I won't say 'What the heck.'"
