After Kaylee's school party we came home and got ready to go to the Temple. We hit up a drive thru for dinner on our way out to Gilbert. The children thought the giant towel aprons so they wouldn't get their nice cloths dirty was histarical.

They tanked up and passed out. (post party sugar crash)

This little stud muffin of mine was being ridiculous. "Mom take my picture." And then it was pose, pose pose. He's is awesome.

Miss sassy pants herself walked a runway most of the way back to the cars. I should have grabbed a video….

And then our little buddy "tripped down". So sad. I watched the whole thing from the back of our group. Jon was closer, but not close enough to prevent the fall. And since the camera was already attached to me……

Regan wanted to see his sad pictures right away. This little face was the opposite of our lovely Temple tour. I wish I could have gotten a photo of their sweet little faces as they looked at everything, The joy, peace, and awe on their faces was really the best part. They knew exactly where they were, and were so happy to be there.

Temple

We have been going out to see the Phoenix Temple build progress. It’s been really fun watching a Temple going up. The children (especially Kaylee) love going to see the Temple. We feel so very blessed that we will have a Temple SO close to us!

 So we FINALLY (been to the St. George Temple lots since moving to AZ.) made to the Mesa Temple. It’s such a beautiful Temple. We had the opportunity to see one of our ward members go through. He is leaving soon to serve a mission in Billings Montana.
 We have such an AMAZING ward. There were so many people who came to support Greg.  This goup photo is missing many who were not able to stay for the pic.
 We went out to eat after. 
 Jon and I had dinner before the session, so we got these awesome desserts.
What were the children up to while we were gone?  Playing, swimming(ish), general merriment, and mayhem. The children had a great sleep over at the cousins house.
 I of course grabbed some pics of them passed out this morning when I arrived to pick them up.
It was a fabulous Thursday night for all of us.
