Oquirrh Mountain Temple

We were able to take the boys and go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. I am so glad that we went. From the moment that we got there and went into the one of the tents to wait for the next tour to start, I could feel the spirit so strongly. I was emotional through the entire tour. I am especially grateful that Greg and I could be inside of the temple with our boys. I loved being able to stand in the sealing room all together, looking in the mirrors, and explaining the significance to the boys. The temple is so beautiful. If you have the opportunity you should go.

What a handsome bunch...

Timpanogas Hike

Last Saturday we hiked to the top of Timpanogas and then went through the cave.  I am proud to say that we all made it to the top.  Even the little ones.  (what am I saying, I barely made it.)  They hiked to the top and then back down all by themselves.  It was a beautiful day... not too hot and not too cold, It was just right!  

I had such a great time spending the day with all of my boys.  It was also nice to spend some time with the extended family.  The kids all look forward to every opportunity that they have to spend time with their cousins.  
The cave was actually a little bit chilly, Cael looks like he is freezing in this picture.  He is exaggerating just a little.  
I love this picture of all of the kids.  We had stopped so some of us could catch our breath and the kids were lined up looking over the edge.  
Another one of my resting stops... the kids were all very patient with all of us adults that needed periodic stops along the way.
