My sweet little 9 year old girl

 So Ashley went to her first little "late night" party with Addie and Heidi (two little girls I babysat since they were all babies).  They had pizza and played night games.  She came home so happy and excited about the fun she had that she just seemed to glow.  I was watching her and thinking how fast they grow up and how much you miss these moments.  I wanted to remember her and her cute personality.  It made me think about when I was 9 and how happy life was and how exciting these little memories are.  I love her messy hair worn in her favorite style--"flat down" and her cute knees, her favorite shoes that she just had to have and she loves so much. She is silly and happy and crazy and smart and sweet.  I love you Ashley!!!!

A Sunday afternoon activity

Jason and Ashley thought even the temple grass was better then any other grass!!!!

 Our stake president asked us to do a family home evening lesson on the importance of temples before the Brigham City Temple dedication next week.  So we talked about temples and then we went to visit three temples near our home.  These are so out of order but it was fun.  This is the church by the Draper temple.  How pretty is this? 

 These are a few of Allison's choices for her future home--also up by the Draper temple.

 This is the view from the Draper temple of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. 

 This is the view from the Oquirrh Mountain Temple of the Draper Temple.  It is kind of hard to see.

Again this is up by the Draper temple--Why can't I make them load in the proper order. I don't have any pictures of the Jordan River Temple because the grounds were closed.  I had a few of the views from the other temples but they were hard to see so I did not blog them.
