The kids keep growing and we keep busy!

Over the past couple of weeks we have managed to keep busy. We had a lot of rain in June, so the weather stayed cool. It has not rained for 6 days, but it is HOT. The lawn, garden and flowers show it.
We went to the temple openhouse at the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple in So. Jordan. The boys loved going up and down the stairs, but did not like sitting still. It is beautiful. That same day our oldest granddaughter, Stephanie came to spend the summer with Jennie and Jeff, to tend the baby. He LOVES her.
Hayden is now 5 months old. He weighs about 15 lbs. He laughs and interacts so cute. Ryan and Jackson LOVE him.
Jennie came last Saturday and cut the boys hair. Ryan does not like that being done, and cries and wiggles throughout. Jackson is much more mellow, and deals with it pretty well. By the end, though, he is ready to be done. We gave him a buzz this time, because he has so much hair and it is so hot.
With the change in weather, we have all got colds or allergies, or both. Hayden has a cough, and Ryan has a worse cough. Marian took him to the Dr. and he was diagnosed with Asthma. Until we get it under control he has a nebulized breathing treatment every four hours, while awake. The other night, when Marian was at work, I got out the machine, and he looked at it, said, "Oh No." and ran and hid behind the table. Once we got it started, he was good. The mask has a creature face, so he is a monster. That is good, though, as he breaths deep and gets the medicine down deep. (See the picture below)
We are busy getting ready for the trek. We had to have the brakes on the motor home re-done. The right front brake kept locking up. Tonight I have to go through our 1st aid kit and see what we still have, and what needs to be replaced. We have a meeting with the rest of the staff on Sunday, so I need to know where we are with everything, since we are in charge. We still have to find the radios. We have a base station, which should help with the transmissions. I am leaving that part to Paul.

Sweet Baby Hayden

Hayden and Stephanie

The boys can be so cute with each other and then fighting over the toys.

Ryan's new summer haircut. He HATES to have it done.

Jackson's summer haircut. He is good about getting his hair cut. He really looks a lot more like Ryan with it short.

Ryan hates to have his breathing treatments, but once we get started, he is very cooperative.

Jackson is such a climber. He will use anything as a step-stool This is a ball he is standing on.

This one he just scaled the front of the cupboard. For some reason, he turns on the hot water instead of the cold. SCARY.
