Temple Lights!

Kya was being such a poser!

Gilbert Temple Groundbreaking

We went to the Gilbert Temple groundbreaking! It was super awesome to actually be there. We felt like we were one of the ones that 'pointed our tent toward the temple'.

Elder Costa did our Stake Conference a while ago and it was fun to see his excitement then, and then to have him dedicate the grounds was really cool. You could feel his excitement as he talked about the temple, and his love for the area. We are excited to have the temple being built too and we feel really blessed to be close to watch it in the process!

Here is the Church news article.

We ate some lunch while we were there.

The kids mostly played in the dirt. But they were there and that's what counts.

There were a ton of people there and it was cool to see! I heard there was 5,000 chairs set up which were all filled by the time we got there. I am guessing, but probably about 5,000 more sitting on blankets, chairs of their own, or standing.

On the way home Baden kept repeating over and over, "Had FUN! Had FUN!" which got Kya to chime in too!

Pictures at the Gilbert Temple site. It is fun to have some of the construction going on it makes it more real. We are all excited for the temple.

Boys naturally find the dirt.

I Love to See the Temple

Don't they look so sweet!

We went to the Temple a little while ago. The Temple is always pretty but there are sunflowers all around it which made it extra pretty. We even saw a duck with her duckling swimming in one of the pools.

Temple Lights!

For family night we went to see the Temple lights. I'm glad we got there even though it was after Christmas.

Preston decided that he was going to talk with an accent for the night.

SO PRETTY!
