2.) St. George, UT temple
3.) Provo, UT temple
4.) Mount Timpanogos temple (in American Fork, UT)
5.) Draper, UT temple
6.) Oquirrh Mountian, UT temple
7.) Jordan River, UT temple
8.) Salt Lake City, UT temple
9.) Bountiful, UT temple
10.) Ogden, UT temple
11.) Logan, UT temple
12.) Boise, ID temple
13.) Columbia River temple (in Richland, WA)
14.) Spokane, WA temple
15.) Idaho Falls, ID temple
16.) Manti, UT temple

We are so blessed to have so many temples so close to us.

Hey Mom! The movie said my name!

So when Lance and I found out that our 2nd child would be a boy we knew immediately that we where going to name him Cohen. My mom had given Kaelyn a fun nick name so I was wondering what she would give Cohen.
Out family has a tendency to quote movies all the time. we may call each other up just to see if they know what movie we are quoting. It has been a lot of fun over the years. I have tried to share this love with my kids. The past few weeks we have gotten hold of some old movies my family quoted a lot and I have showed them to the kids and Lance. As many of you know me well I don't have a how do you say a quiet laugh. I find my self laughing all by myself at the movies. I get some interesting looks from Lance and the Kids but oh well.
So the other day I turned on the movie Cool Runnings (Love this movie) while I got a few things done around the house. The kids heard me laughing at random times so they decided to watch it with me. I had left the room to have Cohen chasing right behind me say with a big smile on his face..." Mom mom the movie said my name!" I stopped what i was doing and asked him "What did they say?" I knew exactly what he meant but I wanted to hear him say it. He replied "they said Webster Webster and Cohen! Mom that is what Grandma L calls me!"

In the movie if you haven't see it or it has been a while: Jr.'s Dad is tired of him chasing a silly dream of being an Olympic runner and tells him he is sending him to Miami, Fl for a job he got him at a Law Firm called Webster Webster and Cohen.

Cohen is now catching on to the Love I have for this movie. Not just for this one scene but for the movie it self!
Now when we watch it Cohen says here comes the very best part of the movie. It is nice to know Cohen and I share the same love for something even if it is a silly movie!

Jordan Assumes

So I normally do Laundry on the weekends because it is cheaper on my wallet. But there are weekends I don’t get around to it because I am so preoccupied with something else. So instead I try to get a few loads done before 9 am. One particular morning I got up and took the sheets off my bed and proceed to the laundry room so I could start a load or two. Jordan is an early riser so she was up and fallowed me. I could tell she was a little confused at why we were doing laundry so early. I asked her if she wanted to help and she perked right up. As I was putting the sheets in, she looked up at me and said…”Daddy Peed?” I laughed and said no Daddy didn’t pee the bed. It is really sad when your kids think the only reason you wash the sheets is if someone peed the bed. I am just glad she blamed it on Lance and not me!
