Memphis Temple

Today was a great day! We had the opportunity to go to the Memphis, Tennessee Temple tonight. It was extra special to have Mike, Jen, and Steve there.

I love the Memphis Temple! It was the Temple I grew up with. I have so many wonderful memories there from the day Chris and I were sealed- I can't believe it has been 6 years! I felt sad to not know when I would be back sinse our closest Temple will now be in Oklahoma City. Anyway, it was a great experience!

After going to the Temple we all went to Chili's. And yes, here is a picture of us at our table! :-)

Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kids!

Fourth of July

We had a great Fourth of July this year. We had a yummy barbeque at my parents house, and then walked down to the golf course to watch the fireworks. I thought that this would be the first year that my kids would see fireworks and not be scared- but I was wrong!

The kids had a great time running around the golf course- especially in the dark. As soon as the fireworks started Emma started screaming. I had to walk with her for about 5 minutes just to calm her down. She was so desperate for the loud noises to stop that she pleaded "I just want to take a nap" to get out of the scary situation. When she was finally calm she kept repeating "I like that, I like that". The funniest part was that she wouldn't open her eyes. She probably sat with her eyes closed for a good 20 minutes!
