Enjoying nature

Now that the weather is warming up, we've been enjoying being outside. We are definitely enjoying living in a such a beautiful part of the country, surrounded by canyons and mountains. That is something I am going to miss when we move.

City Center Temple

A couple years ago the Provo Tabernacle burned in a huge fire. Then it was announced that it would become Provo's newest temple. This was such great news for all those who loved the old pioneer landmark. We are lucky enough to live just a few blocks away from the new City Center Temple. A few weeks ago was a big step in its transition into a temple, the placement of the Angel Moroni on its spire. We were able to go and witness this event. It was neat watching the angel "fly" up to the spire.

Plus, here's a couple cute pictures of William at 9 months. Love his cute, toothy smile.

Grandparentless trip to Idaho

Usually we go up to Idaho to see my parents. But not this time. We went to see my new niece Chloe. My parents were away on a ten day cruise, so we just used their house, thanks Mom and Dad. It was our first road trip in our new Odyssey. That's right I now drive a minivan, but I love it. It is so spacious and convenient for a family. I think my favorite feature are the power sliding doors. Brinley calls them the magic doors. On the trip we were even able to take turns laying down in the very back seat. It would have been a great opportunity for a nap, except that William wasn't too happy about the drive.

We had a great visit with my Grandma and brother's family. I loved getting some newborn cuddling in, since Will is definitely not a newborn anymore:(

Just a beautiful Sunday outside:

 Being the first occasion for all the grandchildren to get together, we attempted a group photo. These are the best we were able to get.
 As you can see, the 2 youngest did great.

 However, not everyone wanted their picture taken. We'll have to try again next time, since this probably isn't a very good frame-able picture.

 William's expressions crack me up.

 He is really good at making angry faces. Too bad I find them so cute.
