Multiple Posts In One

Samuel's Blessing Day
We really enjoyed having family and friends come to Provo to 
celebrate Samuel's blessing day.    





Bowling with Papa
We had a fun time bowling our grandpa at BYU.  Richard won the game with a score of 116








Adam's Kindergarten Class
We visited Adam's Kindergarten class and teacher this week.  His 
teacher is Mrs. Tingey at Westridge Elementary.


Living Planet Aquarium 
We had a fun time visiting the aquarium in Sandy.  







A Visit to Adam and Richard's Namesakes 
We visited the Salt Lake Cemetery to show Adam and Richard the Graves
of the men they were named after.  Richard was named after his great great great grandfather Richard W. Young who is the grandson of Brigham Young and was a Brigadier General in the Army.  Adam is named after his great great great great grandfather Adam Sharp who was a cole miner in Scotland.  Adam and his two brothers left Scotland to join the Saints in Salt Lake in the 1840's.  He helped to build the Salt Lake Temple.  

(Our) Adam enjoyed visiting the grave and didn't want to leave, he said "I'm going to miss him," when we left.




Sammy's doctor Visit
We took Sam to his 4 month old doctor visit.  He did great!  He didn't love the shots but he only cried for a minute.
Adam waited patiently for sammy to finish his appointment


Sammy is rolling around quite a bit now






Adam's Lego Creations
The boys are into Legos, to say the least, and Adam loves to build his own little designs.  He gets a Lego magazine that shows pictures of kids with their own Lego creations.  Adam thinks that all his stuff is magazine worthy so he has us take pictures of his Legos after he builds them 

We had a stake Picnic this summer and they had a talent show.  We told Adam that maybe he could build Legos for his talent.  We didn't think he would really take us too seriously.  When it came time for the talent show he asked about building some Lego stuff for the crowd.  When we told him that they didn't have time for any more talents he got really teary eyed and walked away.  Kids are so innocent and trusting, we'll never make that mistake again.
Dan's sister and brother-in-law invited on a fun trip to Utah Lake this past weekend.  We had a great time playing games, riding jet skis, boating and hanging out.  Thanks guys!

Richard's most recent sayings:

-"Skunks spray babies and kids and whole families!"

-After hitting his leg on our kitchen table he yelled, "You need to take this table back to the store!!!"

-After Adam told Richard that he was going to fill his bed with diapers Richard declared, "Then I am going to go live at a place called Grandpa's house!"
