Payson Temple

Before the Payson Temple open house ended I packed up my kids and the ones I babysit and we made a visit. I think it is important for the kids to see and be in the temple when their is an open house.  I try to make it happen. We have had great opportunities to do that lately with the Ogden temple open house and now this one. 

We had to be there fairly early. The kids were all great during the tour and after. When I do things like this I often think I am nuts but don't know how else would it happen.
All six of the kids I took.
Kennedy and Beck that I tend.
She really loves her brother.
Lilly being silly with Ruth.
Just my crazy kids.

All of us.
Since we were in southern Utah county and the kids had been so good, we stopped for ice cream treats at BYU creamery. Everyone enjoyed it as always.

The ice cream photo is funny. I love that expression on your little boy's face. He's so cute. I'm kind of a sucker for little boys -- having him look so much like Glen helps.

It has been too long since I have checked in! Isn't the Payson temple especially beautiful? I want to go in it every time I come up. What lucky kids to have you in their lives. I can't believe how your kids are growing up so quickly. Lilly and Lucy are young ladies already! Beautiful pictures.

I watched this video and it sealed the deal on this post. I have all sorts of things I could write about, but this has been at the front of my mind for a while. I have really been affected this past year by the divorces of two different couples I know. Not that, I haven't known any one before that has gotten divorced. These have just hit closer to home. One of them is Glen's boss, and Glen has worked with him lately. (This is not the norm. He can go months with out seeing him. He just goes in to work, sees what he's doing that night and goes out.) In working with him, they have talked about stuff and something he said to Glen has really made me think. I wasn't there but it was something to the extent of, "You guys are so lucky, because you love each other, just really love each other." My first thought to this was- yes, yes we do. Then I thought how sad that he and not every married couple have that. The just of all of this rambling is that I love my ...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

By
Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
