{I Love To See The Temple...}

Ryan and I decided that it was pretty darn pathetic that we live so close to the Temple

(within 10 min) and never take the kids to walk the grounds.

This is us packing up the kids and going.


And, of course, when do we come to this realization?

On a hot, 115 degree weather Sunday afternoon.

Good thing kids are resilient to things like weather!


I went alone a couple months ago to take in a session and I told Alenna I woulds bring her back.

It totally slipped my mind! Mommy-guilt ed, we took her and she loved it!

We walk into the Visitor's Center (hello wonderful a/c!!!) and Alenna, seeing the Chritis, yells,

"Look mommy!! My Jesus is HUGE!"

(yes, I was allowed to take pics, I checked!)

Ryan was explaining to Alenna that she can talk to Jesus whenever she wants, she just needs to pray...and so she says,

"Hi Jesus....um how are you?... ok bye Jesus."

haha, its a start.

Ry looks royally ticked at me here, haha, he's actually just really over heated.

We explained to Alenna this is where mommy & daddy were married and because we got married there that our family can be together forever.

She was happy.

And, of course, she insisted on pushing the Brady-man.

Poor guy...he gets pushed into more bushes... haha

Such a great big sister!

Us leaving.

Alenna wants to go back soon.
