Busy life

We have been so busy as I'm sure you have been also.  The summer is almost gone and as much as I love fall, fall means winter is near. We have had a blast this summer making memories with our little kiddos.
One thing that happened recently is we lowered the basketball goal to about seven and half feet and Savannah made the basket with no help five times!  She is pretty proud of herself and she should be.  She is about to start kindergarten next week and she couldn't be more excited. We had a back to school party for her and some of her friends in the neighborhood and preschool class. Her teachers name is Mrs. Hansen so she thinks that is pretty cool.  She has been such a big helper with Ella, she is always giving her a bottle for me or singing songs to her so Ella doesn't cry.
Breckin is just TROUBLE! Yes Breckin when you read this years from now, know that the reason your mom is crazy might just be you. No I'm kidding, I love this little guy so much! But he is constantly into something! Lately it has been a lot of poop! Yes he won't keep his diapers on! He is always walking around naked. He also is loving pens, pencils, markers, mascara. Yes mascara, anything that can make a mark.  the other morning he ran off with my mascara and was painting himself. He loves waking up his little sister Ella, He likes to climb in her crib.  Scares me to death but he somehow always does it when I am busy with something.  He doesn't really talk much, but we can converse with him. He has started saying a few more words this last few weeks. Ella is his favorite to say, he also says bye and bird.  Those are in addition to his other vocabulary. Although I am a little worried about his speech but I am sure he will pick up on it soon.  You can tell he just doesn't want anything to do with it, if you ask him to say anything he just puts his head down in a shy manner. 
Ella is growing so fast! she is five months old! She is full of laughs, giggles, and squeaks.  Her hair still sticks straight up in the air. She has been such a good sleeper, she will sleep through the night as long as Breckin doesn't wake her up with his screaming fits.
Last night we took the kids up Hobble Creek Canyon and had a picnic for FHE. The kids thought it was awesome and I enjoyed the fresh air. Savannah is actually starting to pay more attention to our FHE lesson it is pretty funny.  Last week it was about saying we are sorry and forgiveness. The next morning she came to me and said "MOM, I should have just finished watching the movie with Ava.  she really wanted to finish it but I wanted to play, and I was bothering her to play with me.' I asked her is she wanted to call Ava and apologize for it and she did it was the cutest thing. I couldn't believe our lesson actually stuck with her since all the kids were running around screaming.
Jeremy and I celebrated our ten year anniversary back on July 13th. We went up to Park City for our actual anniversary weekend where we rented a yellow camero and had a blast hanging our with no power. The resort had lost power well actually a lot of Utah had lost power not just where we were staying. We went on a cruise at the end of the month down to Cabo and Puerto Vallarta Mexico.  We had a blast but started missing our kids.  My mom stayed at our house watching them , I am sure she didn't miss them:) I will have to post more details about the cruise later but we had a blast and can't wait for our next cruise!
