Temple

On Saturday we were able to attend the temple dedication. It was so neat. We were in the room right next to the celestial room. And we even saw the prophet! What a wonderful experience, especially since we were able to take Hunter. I was an emotional wreck, of course. It was a special day for us.

Isn't the busy-ness supposed to be over?

So it's been a while, but it's been so busy. I am trying to plan a fun family trip...the kids know as Yellowstone, but we are actually surprising them and going to Disneyland. So SHHHHHHHH! Anyway, I'm getting frustrated. You can a find a good deal on everything except tickets into Disneyland which cost way more that everything else. Anyone know how I can get a good deal on 2 or 3 day hopper passes? I'm desparate....Help!

Temple Open House

I was able to go to the temple open house again last night with the young women. What a great experience. I was nice to go but I sure missed going with my kids. Shae was so cute when we went. She loved "Jesus' place." She loved all the chandeliers. Especially the one in the celestial room. She leaned over to her daddy and said (of course in a 3 year olds "quiet" voice) "Daddy I need that for my room." She was so in love with the beauty of it. She also called the Oxen that hold the baptismal font, moose. She kept talking about the moose at the temple. I couldn't remember the moose. Then it hit me, it was the oxen.

Hunter was also so fun to take. He is my more serious one. He loved the beauty and was so reverent. I was so impressed how mature he was. He loved the spirit and loved the sealing room mirrors. I feel so blessed that I could enjoy that with them.

The temple is so beautiful. I'm so grateful that I was able to go with the youth. An experience I'll never forget.

I think I have some issues. I have spent all night long working on secret sister gifts for camp and work handouts. Why do I make things so complicated? But I must say, they all look very cute. (with out sounds conceited of course :) !! )

I want to be the mom

So Shae was snuggling on my lap tonight and she said to me, "Mom, I want to be the mom." It was so cute. I asked her why and she said, "Cause I want to always say no to stuff." Apparently the mom always says no to everything. I think there is some truth in it. I love my girly girl.

Movie Star Girls

Addi and Shae thought they looked like movies stars. I think they do! So cute.

Pictures with Uncle Mitch

Mitch took the kids up Butterfield canyon and took some great pictures. Mitch has such a great eye. I sure hope he keeps up with photography. Thanks Mitch!!
