Is it the middle of October already?!

Well, here we are in the month of October and I once again have not written for quite some time. I apologize for my lack of blogging enthusiasm! I am working on it. Anyway, here are a few photos of what's been going on with our family. Last month we decided to go to the Hill Air Force Base Museum with all the airplanes. Jackson kept saying, "aahh-plane" which translates to "airplane" of course. I think he really enjoyed it. I also took a few shots of him smelling the roses in the front yard (which smelled delicious by the way!). He would lean way in and try to smell them. I kept having to remind him not to fall into the rose bush because it is very sharp, but sometimes they just have to learn themselves I guess! Needless to say, I did end up saving him a few times. Other exciting news...he stepped on a bee and got his first bee sting. That was quite the drama. He cried and kept saying, "hurt." After a few hours he was up and running again, so I guess it wasn't too bad. His current favorite movie is the Wiggles, and we watch it every day. Kill me now!

Dave has started a new job working with a few new guys investing in dental clinics. He is also still working with all of his old clients, so he has become somewhat independent. We will see what this new job brings. The best part of it all is that his office is in Farmington, so he comes home for lunch every once in a while. He is in the transition stage right now, but I think everything will come together nicely in a short while.

What else...what else...oh yeah, we are having another little Burns terror! He or she will be joining us somewhere around April 7th and we are all very excited. The best part is when Jack says, "Mommy, my tummy hurts." I ask him why and and he replies, "Baby in there." He is talking a ton these days. Anyway, that's the big news. We are excited and probably have no idea what we are in for! So, that is our life for now. Hope all is well with all of you bloggers out there that get ahold of ours.

This is an airplane called the "Jenny plane." It is one of two that can still fly in the whole museum. Most of them are just made of reused parts.

This airplane can fly from London to New York in like 3 hours or something like that! It was really fast, and doesn't Dave just look so nice in his work clothes!

Here is Jack Jack supposedly smelling the roses. He's pretty cute I think!
Here's another pictures of him and the rose bush.


And here he is watching the wonderful, and always entertaining, "Wiggles."

August Fun

Well, the end of August is coming quickly and so I decided to put in a few pictures of what we have been doing this month. We finally got our sod and laid it a few weeks ago. Jackson and the neighborhood boys played in the dirt while we did the work! It is so nice to have it in and I am excited for when we can actually play in it. We also celebrated Gary, Dave, Dusty, and Missy's birthdays' this month (although I only have a picture of Gary's b-day at the park). Dusty returns home from his mission in October...crazy!

I cannot believe that the summer is coming to an end. Jackson and I are both sad to say that our beloved past time of Cherry Hill will be closing in a week and a half. I have no idea what I'm going to do when he wakes up every day and says, "wimming" which translates into swimming. I definitely need to get some photos of him "wimming" before it closes. I have even toyed with the idea of getting and indoor pool pass.

Dave celebrated his big 27th birthday on the 16th. He up and decided to go to Alaska with a buddy to do some serious fishing...even though he's not a serious fisherman!! He was scrambling at the last minute to find all the "gear" necessary for Alaskan fishing. He bought a fishing pole there, and sold it back before he came home. I guess maybe fishing isn't really his thing! He did return with a box full of salmon, so at least I got something out of his trip, and sorry but he is a guy and he didn't take any picturs. Not one! I told him I don't believe he really saw a black bear or bald eagles because he didn't take any pictures!

Anyway, things are good with the Burns family. We are looking forward to the cooler weather but winter is going to be a tough season to keep Jackson entertained. Oh yes, I was going to mention that Jack has been obsessed with tunnels lately. He loves to under then in the car. He always wants us to make tunnels with blankets and play in them. Lately he even sleeps under his tunnel in his crib. Crazy kid!

Here's the boys playing in the dirt while we laid the sod. Jack is in the striped shirt gettin' dirty.

Here's the back yard half-way finished.

Bryker and Jackson swinging in my parent's backyard. Yes, they weigh about the same!!!

Gary's birthday party at the park.

Summer and Prezley at the birthday party.

Jack Jack playing with is trucks in the dirt. The kid could stay outside all day and be happy.

Okay, Alright, I'll Update my Blog!

After a brutal lashing I am finally going to update our little blog, even though it has only been one month since the last one! We have had a great month of July. The 4th of July fireworks amazingly kept Jackson's attention for more than two minutes and he loved getting "can-nie" (candy) at the parades. We have been to Bear Lake for a family reunion, where Dave got his usual burn (I mean tan!), and we have also been to a few fun-filled neighborhood barbecues.

We are patiently awaiting the day when we will be rolling, running, and jumping in our backyard grass. At least the sprinklers are in, even if they put the tractor through our window and broke the window frame as well as the stucco! But hey, at least we have gotten a good deal by having a friend do the yard!!!

Gary, Missy, and Bryker have been here for the summer. They head back this Saturday and we will sure miss them. Every time we go to Cherry Hill now Jack looks frantically around for "Mis-sy" and "Bry-ker." The kid's obsessed. Anything else....I read the last Harry Potter and it is good. I actually couldn't put it down for a couple days and I think Dave wanted to throw it down the stairs or into the mud or something. Jack even came up and put his hand on it and said, "no moe" (no more!). I just had to finish it!

Well, that's all for now. Maybe I'll try and write again before the end of August. Here are a few photos for your enjoyment.

I Love the Summertime

What a little stud!
Here's Jack playing in the sprinkler in our front yard.

He folds his arms for the prayer and is starting to copy our words when we say the prayer.

So far this summer has been wonderful. We have been swimming about 3 times a week and Jack is fearless. He doesn't just jump in to the "big boy" pool, he has to run and jump into the pool! He makes me laugh every day and he is just my little buddy. Cherry Hill has provided us with excitement and joy. Jackson fights me every time on going down the big blue slides, but when we get to the bottom he says, "gin", which in his talk means, "again." I love the summer time. I especially love the summer nights. We can sit out on the porch and watch the sun go down, or go on a nice walk.

The kid never stays inside!But he sure is cute!

Here are my X-Box champions!

Well welcome to our little blog spot. We have finally decided to join our fellow bloggers and get on the train that takes us out of the ancient times of phone calls (too bad because I liked phone calls!). The two pictures below basically represent what we do these days. The first one is what Jackson wants to do the first half of the day, and the second one shows what the little guy wants to do the second half of the day. I could leave him all day to play in the dirt and he wouldn't even know I was gone until he fell into the window well and couldn't get out! Anyway, our little family is doing well. We have moved into our new home in Kaysville and love it. That's all for now.
