Trippin...

I have so much to blog about due the fact we went out of town twice in the last two weeks. I went to my dear friend Steph's wedding and to a NO DOUBT concert(pictures still to come) and then this last weekend we went up to see my sister Tara and her husband get sealed in the Manti temple and also seal their sweet little Teagan to them:) It was such a great experience to witness and be there to see this family work so hard the past year to get where they are, it was so special to be a part of it. I had a really touching experience while in the Manti Temple. It is so very beautiful inside and there's just something about the older temple's that really tug at me deep inside. What hard work, dedication and sacrifice went into them. It took yrs to build and what beauty it beholds inside. I feel very privaleged to have been there not just to see it but what went on inside. Thank you Tara and Jeremy for inviting us and allowing us this honor of witnessing you be sealed for time and all eternity. Love you both.
As you can see it was so very windy there that day and I think everyone saw my undaroo's because I thought it would be nice to wear my new short dress( I prefer longer skirts. Sha-right. I walked in the temple with my dress caught up under my bag because of that stupid wind. But for the first time I think ever- my dear husband came to my rescue and caught before too many saw! I really cant go anywhere with out embarassing things happening to me.
We got to hang out around Provo for a few days and Dad hooked us up with a great room at the Marriot (of course). The kids loved ordering room service and movies. Thanks Dad and Mary!
Here are some pics of our trip to Utah. Enjoy!







My stepsister Lacy was so very sweet to watch our rugrats while Mitch and I went down to the temple. We really appreciate you Lacy thanks for keeping the kids and feeding them while we were gone. We couldnt have done it without you. I owe you one:) As you can see from the pics Breyton loved Caleb and Brynley loved Kelseigh. Aubs was so cute with her too and even asked me "Mom are you going to have another baby? I would like one like Kelseigh!":))


Bridal Veil Falls




Of course no summer trip is complete without a day at Seven Peaks Water Park. The kids had a blast!!



Caleb went down all the scary slides they have there. I thought it was cool that he didnt even act scared. He is a pic of him on one of them.
