A Touch Of Tyrell

Dear Body, We need to have a little chat. You've been great and you still are great but I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. Why do you stink? More specifically, why do you smell  SO bad? When we were creating a beautiful little baby not that long ago you didn't stink at all. We could go two (and sometimes three days... GASP !!) without showering and we wouldn't even kind-of stink... now I can barely get to the afternoon without wondering where that nasty smell is coming from. And then I realize... it's us. Pew. And double pew after we work out. So now that we have the stink thing to deal with I was wondering why we're all of a sudden a zit factory too. Like I said before, I could shower you three or four times a week (now that just sounds nasty!) and still smell like roses and have clear, clear skin. What's up with that? One more question, why does it look like I've bathed in olive oil every evening before bed? Seriously, ...

 Not that long ago Jake and I were able to go to the Mesa temple for the first time since moving to AZ.  It is SO gorgeous inside and has to be one of my favorite temples.  Hopefully it's not too long before we can go again!

Let's take a little tour through the pictures on Jake's iphone, shall we?! Here's how Jake and Everett play with baby sister when I'm not around... And it looks like they do this too...  Here's his children doing weird things... Haha, oh, and here's a great one. The mall train depot right in front of Victoria's Secret. Here's Jakes BEAUTIFUL WIFE and family by the pool when they were still in Tucson, lol! Apparently that beautiful wife of Jake's stole his phone and took a picture of herself wearing arm floating on the way to that above mentioned pool... with her very excited and wiggly son.   This next one is the best.  A little better... buuuuuuut not really! Jake's wife also took this next picture. That would be me. His wife. The sugar, chocolate, whip cream, strawberry, and any-dessert-really loving wife. That would also be me since Jake only has (or will ever have) one wife....

Last night we went on a little family date to get some shaved ice.  Jake got some wild concoction of Mt Dew, orange dreamcicle, and passion fruit. I got cake batter and root beer... not dirty snow like it looks! We went as a family but both kids fell asleep on the way there so we stuffed our faces with shaved ice while they slept... On the way home there was a huge lightning storm going on. It was so awesome. Jake commented that lighting was way cooler than fireworks and then literally half a second later someone let off fireworks.  We laughed so hard.  But you had to have been there! Everett was even laughing but had no idea why.  Brecklyn only laughs when her Daddy tickles her ribs. It was funny. 

This year was Everett's fourth 4th of July and he's still never been to a small town celebration complete with a candy throwing parade and up-close exploding fireworks. That's all I knew as a kid and I always LOVED it. But if he doesn't know the difference then why worry! And of course this little sweetheart has no idea either :)  So we just hung out in the little blow-up baby pool on the back porch, made lots of treats, and then had a BBQ with friends.  HAHA! Love these two! They are only nice to each other and not crying when they're on the couch watching something.  But we're nice to each other all of the time :) WOW! Aren't these glasses flattering! When it got dark we played in the street with some sparklers and pop its. Jake and I both tried writing something...  ... since we couldn't handle that, we just made circles! ...
