Eternal Family

We got sealed as a family yesterday in the Salt Lake Temple. It was wonderful day. My children looked like angels, so beautiful in their white clothing. I cried more yesterday then i have in my whole life but it is understandable.

This is one of the missionaries that taught me the lessons, i was also he first baptism.

These are our friends and family that came to support us. Each one of them have very big part in my life.

im a elder

I got ordainded an elder today excatly a year after i got baptized. Now we are ready for this weekend when we go thru the temple to get our endowments and get sealed. Im really excited

New Piano

We were given a very nice very old piano saturday from Ariels Family that we got to bring home from Kaysville Utah. Talk about the longest most stressful car ride EVER!! The piano ways about 600 lbs or more and we brought it home an a very old trailor with a wood bottom that isn't very strong anymore that started to break from the weight of the piano. We were two blocks from where we picked it up and one of the wheels broke through. With every little bump in the road the piano would rock back and forth. We finally made it home about and hour later and got it in the house. The girls love it and can't wait to learn how to play. I don't know who is more excited Justin or the girls!

Mommys turn to blog.

Today Justin decided that he would let me blog. Yay! For the longest time it was his blog for the longest time it was his blog for the family. Ok so i guess it was my choice not to do it because i just wasn't into it. Then i decided that i would start a blog for my brother while he is on his mission and have fallen in love with it. Good or bad i will leave that for you to decide. (Justin will think bad.) The other day Jackson was in daddys chair watching tv and then he was asleep just like his daddy! What is it about that chair that makes all the men in the family fall asleep while watching tv? Nana gave brooke a chocolate pudding cup the other day. She had it gone in less then two minutes. I don't know if any of it made it in to her mouth. She sure did have a good time!

Halloween

my little bunnys, look how cute they are, we got alot of candy.

blue

Our house is finally done. My wife picked out the paint she wanted to find a paint where you look at it one way and it is one color and if you at it another way it is another color. It is a cool looking blue it is going to take time to get use to it. Im happy that we are not living in our bedroom anymore with five people.

weekend fun

This how i spent my weekend, we got alot done in between conference sessions. We still have some to do but we got the most done already. We are hoping to be done buy next weekend.

Jackson's big day

Sunday we blessed Jackson. The girls had the same color of shirts to match his tuxedo, I also had the same color tie. He is getting so big, we had to bless him soon because if we had waited any longer he would of not fit in the tuxedo. The tuxedo he is wearing is the same one his uncle wore when he was blessed. His uncle blessed him because hi is going on his mission next month so jackson is not going to know him very well, by the time he gets back jackson will be two.

Jackson Eli Swenson

Here is my little guy he is so cute, he looks just like his dad

Look how cute big sisters holding little brother. Morgan is so excited to have her little brother finally. Brooke is not so sure yet but she will come along.

This morgan with her grandpa, i think i have a future cheerleader on my hands. She was having fun saturday night as well i can thank her aunt for this because her aunt was a cheerleader.

This is Brooke trying to do a cartwheel at grandmas house saturday night. She was so cute she couldn't get the momentum to go all the way over so she would swing her arms.

The Grand Finale

a

This is a picture of the grand finale at surgarhouse park. Might be the last year they will be doing them, i hope not because i was looking forward to taking my kids there for a fourth of july tradition.

Fun at the park

This is me at sugar house park waiting for the fireworks to start. The glow sticks im wearing i bought last year, i put them on to try and go sell some, i didnt do very good.

First timers

The girls were throwing popers for the first time, it took them a little time to figure out how the work but once they found out they had fun. They also had fun with sparklers.

This is the front of our house, the stars were made by my wifes mother. We also have 18 flags around the garden you can barley see them. This is one of my favorite holidays, i love fireworks

July Fireworks

This was morgan with glow sticks on her wrist and ears waiting for the fireworks to start. The girls were having fun with them, they were troopers waiting for them to start.

We were waiting to see the fire works at the golf course in bountiful. The girls were running around having a good time. They were troopers we got there around seven, to get a good spot to park, they dont start untill ten.

These are my babies. Im so glad that they are in my life i wouldn't change a thing. I have a feeling that Morgan (the one on the right) is going to be a model because she loves to pose for the camera. The little one (brooke) she is the most adorable child. Her and i have a special bond she is a big time daddys girl.

Look how cute they are they have grown up, They are my little women before i know it they are going to be bringing home boys friends, I dont think so
