Happy Father's Day!

I've been trying for almost a week now to get a good video of Anne with this song. She's does more of the actions while in primary and seeing all of the big kids do it.

Anne loves her daddy! She walks around the house calling "Da-Da!" while he is at work in hopes to find him. She loves to sit on his lap while he is on the computer or playing a game. And she loves to give him big hugs before bed.

And also to Papa Dewey and Grandpa Rea, we love you both and hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, Nana Dewey!

We hope that you have a very happy birthday today! We love you so much! We'll see ya at dinner!

I Love To See The Temple

What a blessing temples are. And what a blessing children are. We were able to take all the Dewey grandkids to Temple Square in Salt Lake City on Wednesday to do a little photo shoot. This is when I learned that I have way too high expectations. Trying to get 6 kids (ages 7 and younger) to all be happy, look at the camera and sit still...yeah, I've learned my lesson! Do you like how Anne is holding my phone?

Then on Thursday, we were able to attend the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. That was such a fun thing to take the kids to. They loved being able to walk through the temple.

Happy Birthday, Rachel Belle!

Happy Birthday to you!!! We can't believe that you are already 8 years old! What a big year for you! We are so excited that you will be getting baptized! We wish we could come up to Canada and celebrate with you but know that we will be thinking of you and hopefully you'll tell us all about it on Skype!
We love you birthday girl!!!

Trip to Ogden!

How lucky am I? I get to have my sister and her kids stay a few days with me and my family while they are in town. We decided to spend one of our days together up in Ogden. I've never really done much in Ogden other than visit friends or drive through so I wasn't aware of all of the fun things to do! Our first stop...Union Station!

We walked around all of the trains they have outside and then into the station for the kids to see everything up close! It was all so big to them!

Then it was time for our sack lunches...Anne loved it! And of course, running around on the playground.

Our final stop...Treehouse Museum. This was a blast...or would have been more so for me if I had more energy! The kids, however, loved it! Around every corner is something fun with books nearby that go along with it. This was Grandma's Kitchen where you sit on this giant Grandma chair and she reads you a story.

The kids wandered around little houses from different countries. They got dressed up in Mexico. Anne then took a break on California.

The kids had lots of fun playing in the music room. Everything is down low so even little Anne got in on the action!

Then the kids all took a turn sitting in the president's chair in the Oval Office. Anne looks like she could take charge, don't you think?

Then, Mason and Michael tried their hands with the giant chess board. They were having so much fun that they wanted to keep going even after one of the kings had been taken out of play!

Who knew that books could be so tiring? There, of course, was so much more to this fun place but I had to limit it somewhere!

After this fun day, we all went down to the theater to hear a book read to us and then we were on our way home...Anne napping all the way!
