Aaron has developed a great love and almost an obsession with Cole lately. He always wants to play with him, feed him, he sings to him, and two nights ago, we realized he wants to sleep with him in his room...(I love Cole's expression on his face about the whole thing) It is really sweet- but now we do have to figure out something to keep him out of his room for his safety!
On Saturday, before we saw a movie we had some extra time to spend, so we thought we would take the kids to the ogden temple and walk around. It was so nice, the weather was perfect, and we love the opportunities to talk about the temple with Annelise.
Then that night, Josh and I celebrated our anniversary. (our 7th! But we kept joking all night that it seems like it has been 50!) We went to Cirque Du Soleil at the E Center. It was amazing to see in person and I just can't get over what amazing things people are capable of doing and what they can do with their talents. Josh loved this crazy bike rider and the juggler...and I loved the guys who hold their bodies side ways on poles and the acrobatics on the swings.
Then for Family Night this week we tried to keep up with our New Year's Resolution to hike and camp more...so we took a hike up the Albion Basin hike. It was a half a mile hike up the mountain to Crecent Lake. It was so beautiful with so many wild flowers. Annelise hiked up (I was so proud of her for not giving up- it got pretty hard with the switchbacks) and had such bad blisters that she rode in the backpack on the way down and Aaron walked. It was so nice. I am making that an official family tradition to do each August when the flowers are blooming. Annelise of course picked some of her favorites and I think I might dry them for her. The hike made me want to hike more with our family.

I'm so glad you updated and yet it makes me sad to look at your pictures. Tell your kids to stop getting so big. Now I for sure what to go to Utah for Christmas. I miss you guys, but am glad that you are having some fun times.
How in the WORLD did I not know you went to Cirque Du Soleil????? How awesome! That picture of Aaron in Coles crib is darling! I can't believe he could fall asleep in there :) AND I like your tradition of that hike in August...we might just copy you!
