Arizona's newest Temple --Gila Valley

One of my favorite things about my calling, is being able to go on Temple trips with the Youth. I was able to go with them to the Mesa Temple for Baptisms and also to the Christmas lights. Because of Robert's work schedule, Preston and Ava are lucky enough that they pretty much have to go with us wherever we go. We are super excited to have had 3 new Temple's announced for Arizona. The Gila Valley Temple-- which is in Safford/Pima area, the Gilbert and the Phoenix Temple. We have made it our goal to go to all of the open houses. The first completed Temple is a smaller sized Temple 3.5 hours east of us. We love the Safford/Pima area, because Rob spent a lot of time there with his work and we would come up and spend the weekend with him in his hotel room. We hiked the mountains, played in the streams, checked out the historical sites and went to the mine site that Rob worked on. It's also where President Spencer W. Kimball grew up. He prophesied that there would be a Temple there some day. It was neat that they included that information in the video that they play before visitors went inside the Temple. It had a lot of really unique and beautiful art work inside.

Mother's Day 2010

I have not been on here for 7 months! That it so sad. There have been SO many fun things going on, but with work and kids I have slacked! I thought a good place to pick up would be a Mothers Day brag fest......I mean post, about what my perfect angels did for me for Mothers Day.
The super cool thing about this is that Mackenzie put this whole photo shoot together without me or Rob knowing about it. It was SO cool. The pictures turned out great and I really love them......<3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy1E7l8ngaIzI1GoCKvQ0qt66VAJMBVIGlBGS_ZMz5e7AQsXKzVk45dZrH_RZ7ZyvUorY_qaLDodig5V3z_ydWDADhcJs_j4rVpmrNeiGE3VAMuf5kSJLY2IHvDpfiWURCD5SeUXMaWh8/s1600/familypics+378.jpg">Rob pinning on my Mother's Day corsage. This corsage was part of a fundraiser we did in Young Women's for the girls camp fund. You can see it better in the picture above.





This was such a sweet Mother's Day gift. I will have these forever and will always remember how happy it made me feel that my kids would think of something so amazing.......see I told you it was going to be a brag fest!
