A taste of parenthood!

So this weekend Jon and I were able to take care of our niece and nephew, Jackson and Ellie, while Kim and Brock enjoyed their anniversary in Arizona. They were so cute and we really enjoyed spending some time with them. There was never a dull moment with them. We enjoyed the weekend watching movies, going a walks (even though it rained), coloring, playing with play dough, making cookies, and building forts. I just loved being around them...they can always brighten up your day! Jackson ended up going to primary with us on Sunday and was the best kid there. He definitely knows his primary songs. It was a great weekend!

One thing that both Jackson and Ellie like to do is to sing. This weekend I made Ellie a microphone out of tinfoil and a gluestick. She loves to stand up on "her stage" and sing. This is the song "I am Child of God." She is quite the performer and speaks clearly! It is the cutest thing!
