Me and My Place in Space

Jefferson's current favorite book is called "Me and My Place in Space". It talks all about the solar system, galaxies, and the Universe. We read it A LOT! So it was quite a nice surprise that Jason's work held an open house for families of employees to come and see their last rocket from one of the programs. (Only employees are usually allowed on the work sights- so I had never seen where he worked) We got to see the rocket, the control room, the bunker, some moon rocks, and the Rocket Garden. It was a really fun day. Jefferson is still talking about it.

A sort of family picture in front of the rocket. Jefferson really wanted to go look so we never got a picture of him actually looking at the camera. The picture only shows the top half. It was quite large. Jeffers wanted to climb in the bottom where the fire comes out and he kept waiting for it to "shoot into the sky".

Addi enjoyed most of the trip from the comfort of the carseat.

He is very interested in what is inside. Good thing it's only a model.

Some moon rock!!

The Rocket Garden. This is basically all Jefferson can talk about these days. He wants to go back so bad. He thought it was the coolest thing he had ever seen.


He loved playing around in this segment of a rocket. He tried to run up the sides and bavk and forth and he really liked that everything echoed inside.

Bonus!! They were giving out "Punch out" rockets so you could "build" your own. He loves it. That night Jason had to put the poster and the rocket on his wall so he could see it all the time. I am so glad that he enjoys books and being able to see the things that he reads about.

Really great trip followed by homemade shortbread with strawberry jam and delicious watermelon from our garden and naps.

This is what happens....

...When Jason Gets Bored

He starts yet another photo shoot of his favorite little girl.

Luckily she cooperates...



...for awhile, until Jason gets more bored and brings in props.



Addison does not think it's funny.

Here you go Mom!! It's is super short on her now, but she got to wear it one more time.

My First Sunday

Addison and I got to go to church on Sunday. Granted, we only went to sacrament, but that was better than nothing to me. I really have a hard time missing church, so it was good to get out and go. Jason decided that he needed to have a little photo shoot of her first Sunday. If you ask me, Jason is smitten. And he might deny it, but I think he secretly loves the hair bows and dresses. It is hard to dress this girl, because she is too long for newborn clothes, but she is way too skinny for 0-3 clothes, hence the onesie underneath her dress. At her two week check up she had gained 3/4 lb. and grown 1/2 in. It's funny because for weight she is in the 33%, but for height she's in the 84%. Can we say "basketball". I see a power forward in her future.

Any way, here are the pictures of our lovely lady!

She just melts my heart!

With all her eating she is starting to get chubbs in the face- cracks me up.

She loves to stretch out while sleeping, just like Daddy and Jefferson.

I think she looks a lot more like Jason than Jefferson did.



Proud Daddy!!
