Temple Cleaning

Scott and I had the opportunity to clean the temple last week. It was so neat! We were in charge of the endowment rooms and it was so special to spend quiet time, looking around and cleaning in the peaceful rooms. We spent time in the Celestial Room and just breathed in the peace the Temple offers. I can't wait to do it again. 

 

Ice Fishing

Over Christmas Break, Tayden and Scott went ice fishing twice with Dave and Matt. Once to Chesterfield and once to our property in Ashton. Taydens friend, River, went with them on that trip. It was a dream come true for my fish-loving boy. I love that he shares his passion with Dave and Matt. It's such a fun connection for them to share! 

 

Deacon Director

 As Church started, the new Deacons came in to learn the routes to pass the sacrament. I looked up to watch Beckett teaching everyone where to go and my heart soared with pride. I had to snap a picture! 

Cache the Deacon

Today was such a special day. Scott ordained Cache to the office of a deacon. Cache has been waiting to pass the sacrament for months, so today could not have come soon enough. I can't believe I have three boys that hold the Aaronic Priesthood. It's an amazing privilege. I hope that Scott and I can raise them so they understand the importance of the Priesthood and their roles within our ward. I am so proud of them and so excited to watch Cache as he learns and grows.

 

Basketball Buddies

Basketball at Hillcrest High School is a community/social event. So when Tayden had a game the other night, we stayed to watch the JV game. Cache didn't have any friends at the particular game, so you can imagine how happy I was to see him hanging out with Beckett and his friends. Beckett isn't always the most patient with Cache, so watching them hang out was awesome! 

 

Star Light Skating

Kyle got rollerblades for Christmas and has been asking to go skating ever since. I took him and Cache and we had the best time. Cache was new to skating, but once he got the hang of it, he loved it. I even put some blades on and went on the floor with them. We skated and laughed the night away. Even though, initially, I didn't want to go, I'm glad we got to spend the evening together. 

 

Dogs Tug

Our dogs love to play tug of war. I'm glad they have each other.
