Sunday Afternoon

What do boys do on a Sunday afternoon after sitting still in church all morning...?

First day of School

Oh it is hard to let them go, yet it's exciting to see them learn and grow. I am so thankful for these young men and their courage to face the world! I love being their mother and wish them a wonderful new year at school. 

 I will miss them every day.

Temple Square

After we left the Natural History Museum we spent some time on Temple Square.  I loved being on the temple grounds with my sweet family.  It delighted my heart to see my boys soak in the temple and enjoy being together.  We ate dinner at the Lion House Pantry (yum!) and also spent some time touring the church history museum. 

My favorite moment:  Mitchell was so excited to be close to the Salt Lake Temple and asked if he could go up the tall staircase to touch the door.  When he reached the top he raised his hands above his head and yelled at the top of his lungs "I'M THE KING OF THE MORMONS!"  

I ran up those stairs faster than I thought possible to grab him and remind him to be reverent.  After we came down, Dallan and I couldn't stop laughing.   

Oh how I love my family!  Thank goodness we are forever!

Natural History Museum

One of our last Summer outings was in Salt Lake City. Our first stop was the Natural History Museum. We absolutely loved it! The displays were amazing and wonderfully hands on. My boys could have stayed there all day. The lighting made it difficult to photograph most areas of the museum, but we were thoroughly impressed. We can't wait to go back! The only reason we left was because it was closing!
