- We took our Sunday walk to Temple Square and explored the surrounding neighborhoods. We went on a hunt to find the burial place of Brigham Young (one of the LDS Church’s early prophets) and it took us a bit but we found it snuggled back in off of a main street. And wouldn’t you know it was his birthday that day! So we sang him happy birthday and thanked him for being so cool.

- Jude bounced his little diapered bum up and down as we
watched my sister perform a hip hop dance in a concert this past Saturday. As I watched her I couldn't help but cat call and think, "Daaang girl." Miranda has always been groovy. As a little girl she would jam out to Disco’s
Greatest Soul Hits in her room and in her dance class the teacher would ask
what music they wanted to dance to and while the rest of the girls responded, “Hannah
Montana!” she would exclaim, “Santana!” haha We’ve got our dad to blame/thank
for that one. He has always said he was supposed to be a black man in the 60’s.
haha Anyways, it was fun to see her get down, I mean real down, and her hip hop
teacher (a cool black guy with sweet kicks and what Michael and I call “poopy
pants” (low crotch pants)) refers to Miranda as “His girl”. Miranda Kate has
never and will never be lacking in personality and is most definitely my soul
sista. LOVE her.
- For family nights this month we are focusing on fitness. We’ve
got some hikes planned and last night we took Jude swimming for the first time.
Our community pool is really nice with lots of cool water features so Jude’s
eyes were big the whole time as he took everything in. Michael and I took turns
going down the water slide. Haha It had been awhile for both of us. It wasn’t
until after we were changing Jude outside the pool that he decided it had been
a fun experience and was all smiles and giggles. We will have to take him back
soon now that he has concluded he likes it. J
- I am pretty sure the little guy is getting four more teeth,
all at the same time and all on the bottom. My poor baby. It is safe to say
that nobody is sleeping. It is likely he is going to have a nice row of 6 teeth
on the bottom and a nice row of toothless gum on the top. Haha
Good
Morning Dear Earth
Good morning dear earth
Good morning dear sun.
Good morning to the trees.
And flowers every one.
Good morning to the beasts.
And the birds in the trees.
Good morning to you
And good morning to me.

Little Seeds
5 little seeds I planted in the ground 1
grew, 2 grew, they grew without a sound
They grew higher, higher, high
Until one day they touched the sky
In the heart of a seed,
Buried deep so deep,
A tiny plant
Lay fast asleep.
"Wake," said the sunshine,
"And creep to the light."
"Wake," said the voice
Of the
raindrops bright.
The little plant heard
And it rose to see,
What the wonderful,
Outside world might be.
A farmer once planted some seeds
He watered them gently and pulled out the
weeds
The plants they grew tall in the sun,
With a push, push here and a push, push there
Their faces shone out with a hey diddle,
diddle and their heads in the air
What do the plants need to grow?
You are my sunshine
What could be growing in Farmer Brown’s fields?
Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow,
Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow,
Can you or I or anyone know
How oats, peas, beans, and barley grow?
First the farmer sows his seed,
Then he stands and takes his ease,
He
stamps his foot and claps his hands,
Then he turns to view his lands.
Mother
Earth
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
Take or seed, and give it birth
Father Sun, Gleam and Glow
Until the roots, begin to grow
Sister Rain, Sister Rain
Shed thy tears, to swell the grain
Brother Wind, Breathe and Blow
Then the blade, green will grow
Earth and Sun, wind and Rain
Turn to gold The living Grain

| Lots of beautiful flowers at Temple Square. I wanted to remember these ones in particular for my future garden. |
