Temple Square

Yesterday, we headed down to Salt Lake to take the kids to Temple Square. We had not ever taking the kids during christmas time. We got there around 5 pm just as it got dark. The lights were not turned on yet, so we took some pictures before it got dark.

Taylee, Brinley and Austin sitting by a water fountain, that they were so surprised it was running. They took bets on if it was cold water or warm water, it was cold, but I think it started out warm.

As we walked through the square the lights started to turn on. So we went out to the street and took a picture of the temple. It was a little foggy, so it turned out really cool! It was neat to see all the people and feel the spirit of Christmas there.

Here is my other picture of the temple. Amazingly Beautiful!!!

We took the kids around in the visitor buildings to look around and to warm up. It was pretty cold! This is one of my favorite things to see, besides the temple. This room was so crowded. People were just sitting and standing around just trying to take it all in. I am so grateful that we live close to this special place. We are going to make this a tradition every year.

After looking at the lights, we went to the Gateway and went to see the new movie Avitar! It was on of the best movies I have ever seen. I was leary to go see it, all I knew is that it had blue people in it, but WOW, I loved it! This is a definate keeper of a movie, all I can say is wow!

This morning, we had pictures in our christmas clothes before church. I guessthe color for the year was gray. We had a great day at church learning about Jesus. It helped us get in the christmas spirit even more.

My Girls and Me!

Our newest family member, Oreo

We have a dog! I know, I know, we were never going to get a dog again after the last one, but I couldn't resist!! He was free!!!

This is Oreo, (his real paper name is Scoby, but we did not like it). He is a 6 month old Shih Tzu dog. Isn't he cute?

A girl that I work with gave it to me. They were having a hard time with him, (actually she does not like dogs and her huspand just brought him home one day!) So I decided to take him home to my kids. They were so excited! We always said, that if we got another dog, this would be the kind of dog we would want. My mom has a dog like this and she is a good welll mannered dog and so is he!

Brin has a new "baby" to play with. She loves to put him in the stroller and just go. He doesn't seem to mind one bit!

New Moon

Yes, we are fans! Actually, we must be pretty crazy fans! We saw the movie the night before it even came out!!! My sister got us tickets and we all jumped at the chance to go. Austin invited his friend, Isabel. Her mom came with us too. My mom, Taylee, Robyn, Jaycee and the Whole BRHS Color Guard and their moms came! How fun is that?


We all went and ate at a pizza place before the movie. It was fun!

I bought Tay a tee shirt. It has edward and bella on it. After seeing the movie, she should of got a Jacob shirt!

Me and my mom! Thanks for coming with me mom! Love ya
