Happy Birthday #2!!

We celebrated Jayci's b-day while we were in Idaho. This was the tea set she got- she LOVES princesses! She keeps asking me for water, but I tell her to pretend, so she keeps coming to me saying "Here's pretend to be water mom!"

Random- this is just Janessa and Josh playing with Dez at the party but I thought it was cute!!
Jayci w/ Gramps. They celebrated together! It was awesome fun to see Gr and Gr Erickson- we sure miss and love you guys!
Jayci's cake. Gramps and Jayci had the same cake, except Jayci's whip cream was pink and she had princesses! :) Happy #2!!

BIG Test and Temple Trip

Jason took his BIG test- the Dental Boards- on July 31st. It was during our "summer break". While he was taking his test in SLC I was able to take the girls to the Salt Lake Temple. Jayci loved all the "waterfalls" (like at the Conference Center and the fountains). She was a TROOPER! I didn't have a stroller and she walked the entire time from around 11:30 until Jase finished his test around 3. She had a couple breakdowns, but all in all, I was super impressed with how much energy she had! Of course, she and Dez both fell asleep instantly when we got back into the car to go pick up daddy! :) Anyway- here are some pics of our little temple trip and Jase's study material- once he finished, he spread it all out on the floor and took pics with it. We're SO glad to be DONE!!! Oh, and we got his scores back a couple weeks later and he did really well- so we're REALLY glad to be done!
