Family Reunion

Lisa, Natalie, Joe, My Mom and Dad

Shina, Jana, Ben and Vince Shalee, Sheri, mitch,Curtis, Tyler

Friday we had the opportunity to go to the open house for the Draper Temple. All of my family except Cort was there and we had such a great time. I am so thankful for each person in my family and the role they play in my life.
It was so touching to be in the temple with all the people I love and watch them as they walked around. I noticed many things about each of them, here are a few: I loved watching all the emotions play across Shina's face. I love the way Tyler took care of Mitchell, and that Hunter, Ben and Tyler were at the front ready to see it all. How Jana let us surround her and love her. I loved seeing Vince smile and that Lisa came even though she needed to work. I love my Mom and Dad. I loved walking by Lexie, Shalee and Kallie and hearing how they loved everything. I love Joe and Natalie and how much he loves her. I love that Curtis came and hung out with all the "crazy" :) people and Sheri for being her. I loved the calm peaceful feeling that was there testifying to me that I was in the House of the Lord.

Dress up!

As a little girl, we had a cat that we loved to dress up in doll clothes. She was a great sport and would let us carry her around and play house for hours. My kids and myself (I have to admit) love to dress Mollie up. She wasn't a very good sport with a cape that she got for christmas and her ears would go down and she looked so sad--but so cute!!



It was easy for her to shake off and so we had to get something else...



Lexie picked out this cute vest. She can't wiggle out of it and she looks darling!! Then..Mollie decided to grow up and go into heat. Yuck and eeeww is all I heard from the kids-and agreed with them. Kallie went on a hunt through her drawer to find her panties that were too small and she found a few. We started with these cute maroon ones with lace and a bow. Mollie doesn't enjoy them, but she wears them and keeps them on.

This will be dress up items I will be glad to get rid of!!
