February Update
We've had a very fun month!
Early in the month, we went to the Draper Temple Open House. It was really beautiful and the kids loved being able to see what the temple looks like on the inside. Now they kind of know why Mom and Dad love to go to the temple so much!!
Spencer's school had a 6th grade Valentine's Dance. He DID dance, but here is a picture of him hanging out with his friends. The decoration for his class mentions 'drop kicking'. Poor Miss Seedall has to threaten them with something!
Both Earl and I celebrate our birthdays in February. This year we attended Stake Conference for my birthday. It really was neat. For Earl's, Andraia picked out a special cake at the store. Earl grilled yummy steaks, and we spent the evening playing with the kids. Are we getting boring in our old age or what?
This is a picture of my nephew, Calton, 'helping' Spencer play a game on his PSP. Calton is so cute. He loves to play video games with Spencer!!
And here's a picture of Andraia with her friend, Mary. Mary's family performs Native American dances. We were able to watch their performance at the library. It was incredible. Our entire family really enjoyed the experience. Everyone loved watching the dances, hearing the stories and listening to the music. Even Brayden!! It isn't often this family finds something we can ALL do together!!

We Love To See The Temple
We attended the Draper Temple Open House a week ago as a family. It was so beautiful! Because Brayden isn't able to walk long distances and feels more comfortable in a more confined space, we parked at the temple and borrowed one of their wheelchairs. He did really well that way, and we found ourselves skipping parts of the line because we had to use the elevator.
We had a bit of a hard time in the sealing room because Brayden didn't want to stop his 'ride'. It was hard for him to sit and listen to the guides tell everyone about the beautiful mirrors, but I'm so glad we were all there together.
Earl and I attended the Mount Timpanogos Temple open house when I was pregnant with Spencer and it really means so much to me that we were able to attend this one with all of our kids. We might not have been the most reverent group in the sealing room, but we were together. Brayden is so close to the spirit, I just couldn't see us going without him.
Now we are waiting for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Our kids are so lucky to be able to attend these events!
