We got to go to the temple today to do baptisms for the dead with the YW/YM. It was Taylor's first time!!! She loved it. I am so fortunate that I get to be in YW so I can be with my kids and experience such cool things with them.

This picture is horrible and blurry but I had to post it anyways. Being with 3 of my 4 kids in the temple tonight.... no words.

Guess who got their very first temple recommend today???!!!  Baptisms for the dead next week!

Wedding Day!! Chance and Lauren were married on this rainy morning in the St. George Temple. Jade and I were married in the same temple and in the exact same room as Chance was this morning... oh the memories!

Here are some cousins at the temple!

Jeff and MaryAnn. MaryAnn's new haircut is SOOOO cute!

 Here's the happy couple. Chance you're looking a bit strained....

Thank goodness I had the Thomson team helping me set up my wedding cake display!!

And it is finished. Phew!!! It turned out lovely despite my nervous breakdown.

Check out that view!!! It really didn't matter what my cakes looked like. Anything would have looked good in this setting with that view. I should have just set out a plate of Twinkies and Ding Dongs.

The gigantic backyard where the reception was held overlooked all of St. George. It was pretty much the perfect picture taking place. Hence the picture overload.

I spy with my little eye the St. George Temple in the background.

Oh PayPay... you're so very handsome!

There was a pond in the back yard (along with putting greens, basketball court, etc.) where the girls caught the cutest little tiny frogs!!! I can't stand how cute he is! He started getting lethargic though so Bailey had to run him (like an ambulance) back to his home in the pond where he quickly came back to life (double phew).

We took the YW to St. George for the night. We had so much fun! We stayed at Michelle Leavitt's parents home, did baptisms for the dead in the St. George temple, toured the Brigham Young home and of course ate at Pizza Factory! 

I love these girls!

 Not the greatest picture of Boo and I but it's the only one we got so it will have to do!

I love serving with these ladies.

Here are the Beehives, otherwise known as the Bumblebees.

What a beautiful day. It was cloudy/stormy and the sky was breathtaking. The temple is always pretty but seemed even more so today. Such a strong spirit on the temple grounds.

day sixty six

No better way to start the day then to go to the temple! The YM and YW went to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. We had to get up a bit early this morning (5:30 a.m.) but well worth it! It was such a beautiful day. 

Bailey took my camera and took this picture... I love it! 

Having the kids at the temple equals one happy mom and dad.

Another Bailey picture...

We went to Jacki's first soccer game and a little girl stepped on her toe. Needless to say, she was NOT happy about this.

Here is the greatest cheerleader of all times! Just look at that face! It's hard to be sad when you have a sister so adorable cheering you on.
