A Quick Visit.

November 3, 2012

About two weeks before this time I got a call from my sister, Jessica.  She let me know that she was making the decision to take her endowments out at the Temple.  Willie and I knew this was a big and very important decision so we planned to drive out on a Friday and go to the temple with her on Saturday.  Then we traveled back home on Sunday.  We had one week pretty much to get a couple of names ready for work in the temple.  In the House of the Lord we do work for those who have passed on already.  I prepared two names, a male and a female so that Willie and I could do the endowment for those two people.  I'm grateful that we were given the opportunity to show my sister that we love her and that we are proud of her for making such  a decision.

Saturday was a very busy day.  We had a birthday party for the two year olds; Reagan and Henry.  They are two days apart.  It was fun to have a party.  My family watched all the kids for us while we went to the temple.  I felt bad for Caroline because she wasn't trained on a bottle yet.  Three-four hours was a little bit of time for her to be away from me.

It seems that we have a small tradition in the brewing.  Parker and Kaylee had Mickey and Minnie cakes as well for their second birthday.  Next in line will be Caroline and Cooper.

Caroline was in the shade part of the stroller.  She fell asleep there on their walk.

After the temple we met up with my family at the Sizzler in Salt Lake.  Caroline was so happy to see me.  I loved that she was able to hang out with some of my family that she may never really know.  My Aunt Nona and Uncle Corey as well as my Aunt Carolee.

The boys really love to play Angry Birds on anyone's phone; something Willie and I don't have.  We are old school and don't have smartphones.  This is one way to entertain our kids for hours.  That's what they did at the restaurant most of the time.  I am very grateful for eternal families.  I'm grateful that we can be sealed and  know that we will see each other again one day.
