1st Day of Preschool and More



 In honor of Grandpa Christensen's 105th birthday on August 13th, I took a picture of Anna chewing on a toy ice cream cone.  Grandpa C. loved ice cream!  Every evening before dinner was over, Grandpa would pull out the carton of ice cream so it would soften just the right amount to have some at the end of the meal.  I'm sure that if he were still alive, he would have shared some ice cream with Anna.  The love of ice cream is in our blood! 

David and Spencer pose before David's first day of preschool on August 16th.  David attends Discovery Club every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00-11:30.  He LOVES it!  Several times he said it's "Super-duper awesome!"  On the second day he asked if Spencer could come with him next time. 

David wears his new Discovery Club backpack on his first day.

Can you see the family of horses riding on each others' backs?  David made this family of horses with the Trio blocks on August 23rd.  He called them Dad, Mom, David, Spencer and Anna.

Messy face!  She still only has two bottom teeth.

Anna turned 9 months old!

I love to see the temple! I'm going there someday.  After spending time at the Church History Museum Children's exhibit about the Book of Mormon, the Burgess cousins touched the doors of the Salt Lake Temple on August 4th.

Elder Mathew Cowley told his granddaughter, "Remember that this day you touched the temple. One day you will go inside." She had touched the temple, and the temple had touched her.

Families Can Be Together Forever!

Burgess Talent Show at a cabin in Heber on August 4th.  Our "Jaws" was a big hit!  Then we shared shark shaped fruit snacks with the cousins.

More pony rides in Sandy on August 6th.  Spencer, our horse lover, especially loved it.

Big smiles from the boys!!
