I'm Going There Some Day

Grandma, Sarah, and Makinley came for a visit! We decided that while they were here, we would tour the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Taylor, Braxton, and Ashley were also able to go! We all had a great time together and the kids loved being in such a beautiful place.

Motorcycle Fun

Kamdon and Taylor both love riding the power wheel 4-wheelers. They were having a blast driving all around the alley way!

Kamdon is in love with motorcycles! He begs Heath to take him on his "cycle!" He is in heaven when dad gives him a ride!!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

Heath and I had the amazing, once in a lifetime, opportunity to serve in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House yesterday! We volunteered and were asked to serve as Ushers. We reported to the chapel nearby yesterday morning at 10:45 a.m for some training. We met up with some other ward and stake members and were given our assignments and our instructions. We were so excited to find out where we would be serving our 4 hours. Heath was stationed in the celestial room and I was just outside. What an amazing opportunity to feel of the spirit that dwells in this holy temple. Heath was kind enough to trade off with all of the other ushers that were around us, as each of us wanted our chance to stand in and feel of the wonderful spirit that is in the beautiful celestial room. The different responses, gasps, tears, smiles, and facial expressions of guests was priceless in this beautiful room. Our job as Usher was to stand in our spot, being the last thing people saw in the area, and to just smile to everyone that walked by. It wasn't packed with people, but seemed to have a steady flow. By the end of our shifts, we were tired of standing, but so grateful for the opportunity to serve in the beautiful temple that has been built just a few blocks from our house. We are truly blessed to have a temple in our subdivision.
After a great day, we headed to pick up our kids. Ashley so graciously offered to watch our two youngest so that we could have the chance to serve. THANK YOU, ASHLEY! We decided a good way to end the day would be to take the kids to the pool for some family time. We enjoyed our time swimming! On the way home, we all just jumped in the car and headed toward home. We all were shocked when the bright red and blue lights were flashing behind us. The officer said that Heath had "rolled through the 4 way stop" and that he noticed Taylee bobbling around in the back. We explained that we were just on our way home from the pool and that was the reason for the lack of seat belts. He took all of our information and brought back a warning for rolling through the sign and a ticket for not wearing a seat belt. WHAT A GUY!

This is a good reminder to us all (especially Taylee, who was certain that we were all going to jail) that we need to put on that important safety belt even in our own subdivisions!!

A Little More Soccer

Soccer Season is starting to wind down. Here are a few quick shots at last Saturday's game!

The Yellow Dragon's won with one goal! Great job!!

Skate Night

Last Friday evening, the school hosted a family Skate Night! They had a DJ, music, games, food and lots of fun for the kids. This is my most favorite photo of the night. Kyler loved taking off and putting on the kids helmets! He also loved watching the kids skate around the parking lot!

The Skate Train

Kamdon fell on his skates before we even left the house, so he just watched most of the evening! He really enjoyed his snow cone ... hence the blue lips!
