Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

At the end of July, we went to the open house for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple with my parents, and our neighbors. It sure is a pretty temple.

Our little Mason did not quite catch the spirit of the temple. Our tickets were for 10:00, and by the time the tour was over it was 12:30. He was one tired and hungry little guy who wanted to swim in the baptismal font. Yes, our little Mason was one of the little boys who cried throughout almost the entire tour. I guess he did not realize that there were signs all around telling people to be quiet and enjoy the reverence inside the temple. I want to apologize to all of those who were around us, my little guy was quite the distraction. It was good that my parents were there to help us out because by the time it was finished, Mike and I were exhausted. I only hope that the girls will remember what it was like to be inside the temple at such a young age. Mason was very glad that there were cookies at the end. I think it made the entire experience worth it for him. Don't get me wrong, it was a lot of fun, and so beautiful. He was a little trooper.



And here he is, on the way home, enjoying his rest time.

This was my first temple open house and I loved it. We took the girls and I also went with the YW. Even with Mason being crazy I hope you guys had a great experience. Morgan loved the brides room and I totally started crying while we sat and talked for a minute together.

Entertainment

These photos were taken about a month ago. The snow is now all gone, Yeah! I tried to shovel a path through the snow so the kids could get to the playset to play. When Mason saw what I was doing, he immediatley took over shoveling. He shoveled for at least an hour, piling snow into the grey bucket. If the girls even tried to have a turn, he let them know it was his shovel. I'm sure he felt like he was a backhoe, moving dirt. That is his dream job.

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Image
Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
