Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

I love going to different temple open houses because of the spirit that is felt. Even though these temples havent been dedicated the spirit is very strong.

This temple open house was much more organized than the last one we attended! It didnt take any time at all to get through the official tour and then we spent some time having free cookies and taking pictures afterward.Isn't it just beautiful!

Also for those of you that heard about the temple getting struck by lightning I had to take a picture for you all to see!

Where the new temple is located we couldn't resist taking this picture for mom and dad! A road named after you!

While we were down in Utah for the weekend we also had to have a bit of fun! We went to The Hollywood Connection which has indoor rollercoasters, paint balling, bumper cars, rollerskating, etc.

While the boys rode the bumpercars Kaytlin looked on with interest! Gotta love the pigtails! Her hair is growing fast!

We so much fun we will have to do it again sometime soon. Thanks to Anthony and Mandy for playing with us all weekend!

T-Ball season has started!

I am playing outfield but looking at the other kids and not paying attention to the batter!

Getting ready to swing!

My cousin andruw invited me to play on his team. Go Blue Tigers! This is him batting! When we play outfield together we play around in the grass and watch the other kids!

As you can see I am the best! Now just need to get Andruw to believe me!

The season is only a month of games three times a week but the kids love it! It is quite funny watching them tackle the ball and run around the bases the wrong way but who cares right. So far no one has been pegged with the ball flying the wrong direction... give it time though.

We just like to have fun!

Salt Lake City here we come!

This past weekend we went to Salt Lake City to attend my brother's sealing to his wife! They were sealed on Saturday at the Salt Lake Temple. It was my first time going to a live endowment but I enjoyed myself! I didnt have my camera with me but i will post pictures when I get copies of my brothers.

That was the reason we went but we had to throw a few more events in the mix!

On Saturday afternoon after all the excitement we took the kids to Build-A-Bear! Brayden made Brayden Bear and Kaytlin made Pinki. This picture is when they were very patiently waiting their turn with their choice bears!

On Saturday and Sunday the Oaks family invited us to dinner. They are Mandy's family and they were gracious enough to feed Anthony's family. Our very lucky days for super good food! Brayden and Kaytlin made some good friends too!

Can't forget spending time with grandma and grandpa from Ohio!

I couldn't resist putting the above picture on here because he was trying to bargain and tell all the kids to share the swing. I had a good laugh about this!

Then on Monday before we left town we spent the day at This is the Place monument and park! We must have picked Brayden up there because this is what he smelled like all day from the petting zoo. Both Brayden and Kaytlin loved the petting area but Kaytlin didnt think the animals were the greatest unless they ran away from her except the baby lambs.

Not even precious baby bunnies! If she could have, she would have jumped out of her stroller to get away from it! Brayden took to the animals like lambs do shepards. He could have very well been the shepard!

He also got a chance to feed the lambs!

Then both kids got to take a pony ride! Kaytlin didn't like that either!

Then I sent Brayden to school. He had to prove to the teacher he could write his name! My dad really couldn't figure out how to spell his so dad gave his board to Brayden because Brayden writes his name three sizes to big and needed the extra space.

Then we took dad to the barbershop to get his beard trimmed but it should have been Josh in the butcher seat! Then we couldnt forget the many train rides we took! This was probably Brayden's favorite part. Chooo Choooo all aboard!

Then we had to take a handcart ride!After a long day we all needed a rest. A good long sit at the Newspaper shop was just what we needed only problem it was just across the street from the ice cream shop.

The rest wasn't enough for Brayden and he died from heat stroke. Just kidding but we had fun trying out the coffins at the wood shop!

Hoppy Easter

We went to an Easter Egg hunt with Jared and JJ and their kids(Josh's brother and his wife and 3 kids) which was super fun. Of course when the fun began both kids went different directions so I only got pics of Kaytlin at the egg hunt!

Then we colored Easter Eggs! Kaytlin thought the eggs would be better eaten rather than colored! Brayden just got right down to business getting them colored!

And of course, I bet you all thought it was sort of strange to let Brayden dye Easter Eggs in a white shirt. I planned it that way at least taking a yucky shirt to dye in because the white shirt has holes in the back from the dryer... but we used the left over dye to tie dye his white shirt! What a novel idea huh? We can't forget about their new Easter clothes... Kaytlin got a cute dress and Brayden has on his new church digs!

Aren't they the cutest kids?

The weather has been wonderful this week besides a snow or rain storm periodically but during one of the nice stints we played outside! With warmer weather the kids love to be outside more! I took lots of pictures on our first day back outside after winter so have fun and enjoy the warm weather with us! By the way this is the first time Kaytlin got to use her swing we bought her for her Birthday!

Then after swinging for awhile we went on a bike ride! We rode to the library and the bank!

And the next day we went out in the nice weather and we went to the river and fed the ducks! Of course they were hungry... when aren't they!

All in all the weather has been great so of course we have to enjoy it! The next few months will be just as fun as this month has been!

Josh celebrated his 28th birthday! I know he is getting old! Anyway... we went out to dinner and i made sure the waitress knew to make a fool of him. They came to the table and put balloon ears on him and sang really loud! They had all you could eat steak fries and so we took advantage... we love to eat!
