Payson Temple Open House

This was a bad time to take a photo because the sun was right in out eyes, but the rest of the trip was wonderful.  Aunt Milla joined us to walk through this beautiful temple. It is gorgeous! The whole temple was breath-taking and huge! It was made even more special to be able to say that Grandpa Gleason and Uncle Jason helped build this.  I am pretty sure we will be back. I think my favorite part was the sealing rooms but it was all so beautiful is was difficult to pick! I love that my sweet family can be eternal, because of the Ordinances preformed in Temples.

California Wedding

Dads great friend from his younger years, Michael Adamski, got married this weekend and Dad was asked to be a grooms men. so we all piled in the mini van and made a quick trip to California. A great time was had by all (except Colin who was suffering from yet another ear infection). The Wedding was lovely as was the reception, and for the practice dinner Michael gave us a tour of the State capitol building! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for letting us stay such a short time. next time we will stay a little longer :)

Graduation in Idaho

 This weekend Aunt Brianne and Uncle dustin invited us up to Rexburg to watch them graduate from BYUI! Before the ceremony we had some time to hang out in a park. As soon as we got there a baby duck started following  us around. I'm pretty sure it was lost but it sure was a sweet thing and treat us like its mommy. the boys got a big kick out of the tiny thing.

The boys played for hours at this cool place and Adam even had some older kids join in on his make-believe play.  He pretended to be a train conductor that was driving the play set (train) to an unknown destination. A couple of boys (upwards of seven years) along with Kyle, were the passengers. When the boy's little sister asked incredulously why they were playing a boring game with a kid they didn't even know one of the boys piped up and exclaimed "because he is awesome"! I love that Adam and Kyle have great imaginations that take them to fantastic places.

The whole trip was quick but enjoyable. Congratulations Brianne and Dustin!

Easter time

While we try to keep the focus of Easter on the Savior and his resurrection, we also have a lot of fun. Because He Lives, we can be a family forever and we will always cherish the great memories we create together.

 We had a big group for our neighborhood Easter egg hunt and the eggs were spread far and wide.

 The boys had a grand time running all over the place in search of all the eggs.

 Later that night (Friday night) we colored eggs with the boys, and daddy pulled some funny faces.

 Colin thought the dye looked mighty tasty, he tried, it wasn't, he gagged.

 Kyle did an orange egg, then moved to yellow

 Adam stuck to his favorite color purple

 Saturday morning was not only General Conference, but we also had our family hunt, finishing off when the Golden Egg was found.

 The boys were really excited about their baskets and clothes... a little too excited about the candy though. When mom and Dad woke up Sunday morning, not only were the boys baskets empty, but also all of Mom's and Dad's treats! 

 It is becoming increasingly difficult to get a picture of these three all looking at the camera, Not to mention them staying still.

What goofballs we have
