...and we're back!

What a wonderful time we had visitng our family and friends this past month! To all of you, thank you for making it so much fun that even after all that time away from our own home, we still weren't quite ready to leave you. We can hardly wait until next time!
While we were away, Alexis turned 5 and also lost her first tooth! This was exciting stuff for our little crew. We enjoyed welcoming my brother home and celebrating the wedding of my Uncle Randy to the love of his life, Vicki. We also swam, and rode horses, and made cookies, and went to the zoo, and shopped, and colored, and ate, and bowled, and almost never slept. What a trip!
One very special thing we got to do was attend the open house for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was very exciting to have the opportunity to take my little girls inside the walls of the temple and explain to them the special things that are done there. I also got to visit the recently dedicated Draper temple. How amazing it is to have so many temples in the world today!
Now that we are home, we are excited for summer and ready to swim the days away!

How cute your girls are! I can't believe that Alexis is 5 and has lost a tooth... time for the Tooth Fairy and a pretty pillow to put the tooth in!
I love the picture of your kids with Mer's outside of the temple---with Brandon as the lone male! :)
We ran into your Mom and Nathan in the Church History & Art Museum last week! Have a fun summer!
