Franklin Institute

While our friends were here we went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. It was mostly a children's museum and was pretty fun for the girls.

Sorry...

Ok, ok, it's been FOREVER since I've put pictures up. We had some friends in town and we did a lot of fun things, but I forgot my camera everywhere we went! It was ridiculous. I'll have to get my friend to email me some pictures and then I promise I will add A LOT more!

I need to write this down before I forget...

A couple weeks ago Kirsten and I were driving to story time at the library. After getting gas I had to turn around at a park that we have never been to before. As soon as we pull into the parking lot Kirsten proceeds to tell me that she had been to this park before. She said she went there with her friend Chandler. She said all her friends were there and so were Jesus and Heavenly Father. She said this was before she was born before she came to the Earth. I asked her what Jesus and Heavenly Father were doing and she said "they were just watching us play". She talked about this for about 10 minutes. It was so sweet.

Kirsten's Haircut

Well, last Friday was a bit of a traumatic day! I took Kirsten in to get a long overdue haircut. When the lady started cutting it she said that her hair was really damaged at the bottom and convinced me to cut off all the split ends. It ended up being so much hair! All her curls are gone! It's very sad but oh well, I think they'll grow back. She was really excited to show daddy she kept asking, "is daddy going to like it, or no?" It was really cute. Jonathan made sure to tell her that he loved it and she looked beautiful (which it is pretty cute) even though we both do miss her curls!

We made the mistake of telling Kirsten that we were going to go swimming in Washington D.C. for mommy's birthday a couple weeks before we went. Everyday she would ask if we were going to Washington D.C. yet. Sorry the video is really blurry.( I must've had it on a weird setting or something.) I'm not sure why she would shake every time she got out of the water, I guess she saw our old dog doing it so she thought that's what you're supposed to do.

Washington D.C.

I told Jonathan that all I wanted for my birthday was a trip to Washington D.C., since we haven't been since we moved here. So he took off Friday and we headed down there that morning. It poured the whole way down and the entire day. It was pretty miserable. We went to the National museum of Natural History. Kirsten loved that. She ran around saying "look at this...look at this." It was all very exciting until she announced at the top of her voice that she had to "go poop really bad." That was pretty funny.




This was our first trip to the Washington D.C. Temple. It was really cool and really beautiful. Luckily Saturday was a really nice day. Jonathan went to the temple on Friday night and I went Saturday morning and then we saw the Joseph Smith movie for the first time.
